In 1769, Euler proved the following result $$ \int_0^{\frac\pi2}\log(\sin \theta) d\theta=-\frac\pi2 \log2. $$ In this paper, as a generalization, we evaluate the definite integrals $$ \int_0^x…
In the joint work of T.Rivoal and the author, a hypergeometric construction was proposed for studing arithmetic properties of the values of Dirichlet's beta function $\beta(s)$ at even positive integers. The construction gives some bonuses…
We derive a relation for the axial-coupling constants of the nucleon and spin-3/2 baryons including the $\Delta(1232)$ with the use of an $SU(2)_R\times SU(2)_L$ invariant Lagrangian. Therein the nucleon belongs to the fundamental…
From a global series for the alternating zeta function, we derive an infinite product for pi that resembles the product for $e^\gamma$ ($\gamma$ is Euler's constant) in math.CA/0306008. (An alternate derivation accelerates Wallis's product…
Euler noted the relation $6^3=3^3+4^3+5^3$ and asked for other instances of cubes that are sums of consecutive cubes. Similar problems have been studied by Cunningham, Catalan, Gennochi, Lucas, Pagliani, Cassels, Uchiyama, Stroeker and…
A sequence $\textbf{p}=(p_{n})$ of real numbers is called Abel convergent to $\ell$ if the series $\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}$ is convergent for $0\leq x<1$ and \[\lim_{x \to 1^{-}}(1-x) \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}=\ell.\] We…
Professor Georges Rhin considers a nonzero algebraic integer $\a$ with conjugates $\a_1=\a, \ldots, \a_d$ and asks what can be said about $\d \sum_{ | \a_i | >1} | \a_i |$, that we denote ${\rm{R}}(\a)$. If $\a$ is supposed to be a totally…
Initial results from new calculations of interacting anti-parallel Euler vortices are presented with the objective of understanding the origins of singular scaling presented by Kerr (1993) and the lack thereof by Hou and Li (2006). Core…
Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes circa bina biquadrata quorum summam in duo alia biquadrata resolvere liceat" (1772). E428 in the Enestroem index. This paper is about finding A,B,C,D such that $A^4+B^4=C^4+D^4$. In sect.…
The solvability of the cubic congruence $x^{3}\equiv 2\pmod{p}$ is referred to as the $\textit{cubic character of 2}$. In evaluating the cubic character of 2, we introduce the Eisenstein integers, Gauss and Jacobi sums, and the law of cubic…
In this paper, we resolve a longstanding open statistical problem. The problem is to mathematically confirm Yule's 1926 empirical finding of "nonsense correlation" (\cite{Yule}). We do so by analytically determining the second moment of the…
The sphere formula states that in an arbitrary finite abstract simplicial complex, the sum of the Euler characteristic of unit spheres centered at even-dimensional simplices is equal to the sum of the Euler characteristic of unit spheres…
An expansion in the number of spatial covariant derivatives is carried out to compute the $\zeta$-function regularized effective action of 2+1-dimensional fermions at finite temperature in an arbitrary non-Abelian background. The real and…
A geometrical framework for the definition of entropy in General Relativity via Noether theorem is briefly recalled and the entropy of Taub-Bolt Euclidean solutions of Einstein equations is then obtained as an application. The computed…
We believe that Euler constant is not just the "renormalized" value of the Riemann zeta function in 1. In a sense that we shall clarify it is in fact the normal and natural value of zeta of 1. In this paper we first propose a limit…
The exact solution of a two-scale Buchert average of the Einstein equations is derived for an inhomogeneous universe which represents a close approximation to the observed universe. The two scales represent voids, and the bubble walls…
Extending results of Linial (1984) and Aigner (1985), we prove a uniform lower bound on the balance constant of a poset $P$ of width $2$. This constant is defined as $\delta(P) = \max_{(x, y)\in P^2}\min\{\mathbb{P}(x\prec y),…
The Riemann Hypothesis, originally proposed by the eminent mathematician Bernard Riemann in 1859, remains one of the most profound challenges in number theory. It posits that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function {\zeta}(s) are…

In this series of studies on Cauchy's function $f(z)$ ($z=x+iy$) and its integral $J[f(z)]\equiv (2\pi i)^{-1}\oint_C f(t)dt/(t-z)$ taken along a Jordan contour $C$, the aim is to investigate their comprehensive properties over the entire…
