Has the ten-year old quest for the optical superlens, based on Veselago's hypothesis of negative refraction, been a chimera? We argue that Pendry's alternative prescription of the silver superlens is nothing more than an application of the…
The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…
A new type of the THz laser is proposed. A coherent tera-hertz light is emitted through the backward Raman scattering between a visible light laser and a relativistic electron beam. The threshold conditions for the laser intensity and the…
Absorption of light is directly associated with dissipative processes in a material. In suitably tailored resonators, a specific level of dissipation can support coherent perfect absorption, the time-reversed analogue of lasing, which…
We prove a general result on representing the Riemann zeta function as a convergent infinite series in a complex vertical strip containing the critical line. We use this result to re-derive known expansions as well as to discover new series…
We discuss a precise relation between the Veneziano amplitude of string theory, rewritten in terms of ratios of the Riemann zeta function, and two elementary criteria for the Riemann hypothesis formulated in terms of integrals of the…
We present an unconditional proof that non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function must lie strictly on the critical line $\text{Re}(s) = 0.5$. By defining a recursive path of Taylor expansions originating from the domain of absolute…
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) renormalizaion is a paradox. It uses the Euler-Mascheroni constant, which is defined by a conditionally convergent series. But Riemann's series theorem proves that any conditionally convergent series can be…
The finite Dirichlet series from the title are defined by the condition that they vanish at as many initial zeroes of the zeta function as possible. It turned out that such series can produce extremely good approximations to the values of…
Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…
Based on an equivalence relation that was established recently on exponential sums, in this paper we study the class of functions that are equivalent to the Riemann zeta function in the half-strip $\{s\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Re}s>1\}$.…
This is a reformulation and refutation of a proposed proof of the Riemann hypothesis published in 2013 (arXiv:1305.0323) and in 2014 (arXiv:1402.2822). Proceeding by contradiction, the author wants to prove that if zeta(s)=0 where 1/2<Re…
The Riemann hypothesis, stating that the real part of all non-trivial zero points fo the zeta function must be $\frac{1}{2}$, is one of the most important unproven hypothesises in number theory. In this paper we will proof the Riemann…
We propose convergent plasma lenses, possibly from current sheets, as a generic solution to strong interstellar scattering. These lenses resolve the overpressure problem by geometric alignment as noted by Goldreich and Shridhar (2006). They…
Using the technology of harmonic analysis, we derive a crossing equation that acts only on the scalar primary operators of any two-dimensional conformal field theory with $U(1)^c$ symmetry. From this crossing equation, we derive bounds on…
One of the key insights in the emerging field of non-Hermitian photonics is that well-established concepts like the laser can be operated in reverse to realize a 'coherent perfect absorber' (CPA). While conceptually appealing, such CPAs are…
We verify numerically, in a rigorous way using interval arithmetic, that the Riemann hypothesis is true up to height $3\cdot10^{12}$. That is, all zeroes $\beta + i\gamma$ of the Riemann zeta-function with $0<\gamma\leq 3\cdot 10^{12}$ have…
We extend the Koopman-von Neumann convergence condition on the Ces\`{a}ro mean to the context of a Dedekind complete Riesz space with weak order unit. As a consequence, a characterisation of conditional weak mixing is given in the Riesz…
The Riemann Hypothesis has been of central interest to mathematicians for a long time and many unsuccessful attempts have been made to either prove or disprove it. Since the Riemann zeta function is defined as a sum of the infinite number…
In this paper, we present a proof of the Riemann hypothesis. We show that zeros of the Riemann zeta function should be on the line with the real value 1/2, in the region where the real part of complex variable is between 0 and 1.
