Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ a positive integer and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q=p^k$ elements. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb F_q$ and $a\in\mathbb F_q$. We denote by $N_{s}(f,a)$ the number of zeros of…

We show that some $q$-series such as universal mock theta functions are linear sums of theta quotients and mock Jacobi forms of weight 1/2, which become holomorphic parts of real analytic modular forms when they are restricted to torsion…

We discuss the distribution of partition function zeros for the grand-canonical ensemble of the zeta-urn model, where tuning a single parameter can give a first or any higher order condensation transition. We compute the locus of zeros for…

The object of this article is a family of $q$-series originating from Habiro's work on the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants. The $q$-series usually make sense only when $q$ is a root of unity, but for some instances, it also determines…

It is proved that the Epstein zeta-function corresponding to a binary positive definite quadratic form with integer coefficients has a positive proportion of its non-trivial zeros on the critical line.

Let $X$ be a compact, hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that the twisted Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions, associated with an arbitrary, finite-dimensional, complex representation $\chi$ of $\pi_1(X)$ admit a…

Let $p_n(x)$ be orthogonal polynomials associated to a measure $d\mu$ of compact support in $R$. If $E\not\in supp(d\mu)$, we show there is a $\delta>0$ so that for all $n$, either $p_n$ or $p_{n+1}$ has no zeros in $(E-\delta, E+\delta)$.…

Let $0 < a \le 1$, $s,z \in {\mathbb{C}}$ and $0 < |z|\le 1$. Then the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function is defined by $\Phi (s,a,z) := \sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n(n+a)^{-s}$ when $\sigma :=\Re (s) >1$. In this paper, we show that the Hurwitz zeta…

This paper studies zeta functions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \chi(n) n^{-s}$, with $\chi$ a completely multiplicative function taking only unimodular values. We denote by $\sigma(\chi)$ the infimum of those $\alpha$ such that the…

We generalize the Raabe-formula to the $q$-loggamma function. As a consequence, we get that the integral of the logarithm of the fourth Jacobi theta function between its least imaginary zeros is connected to the partition function and the…

Let $G(k)=\int_0^1g(x)e^{kx}dx$, $g\in L^1(0,1)$. The main result of this paper is the following theorem. {\bf Theorem}. {\it If $\limsup_{k\to +\infty}|G(k)|<\infty$, then $g=0$. There exists $g\not\equiv 0$, $g\in L^1(0,1)$, such that…

We prove that a non--zero Jacobi form of arbitrary level $N$ and square--free index $m_1m_2$ with $m_1|N$ and $(N,m_2)=1$ has a non--zero theta component $h_\mu$ with either $(\mu,2m_1m_2)=1$ or $(\mu,2m_1m_2)\nmid 2m_2$. As an application,…

A version of the Uncertainty Principle says: There does not exist a non zero function in $L_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ if its Fourier transform is supported by a set of finite $\alpha$-Hausdorff measure with $\alpha<2d/p$. This UP does not hold at…

We study unilateral series in a single variable $q$ where its exponent is an unbounded increasing function, and the coefficients are periodic. Such series converge inside the unit disk. Quadratic polynomials in the exponent correspond to…

We investigate arithmetic properties of values of the entire function $$ F(z)=F_q(z;\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{\prod_{j=1}^n(q^j-\lambda)}, \qquad |q|>1, \quad \lambda\notin q^{\mathbb Z_{>0}}, $$ that includes as special cases…

In this paper we prove a nonexistence result for nonlinear parabolic problems with zero lower order term whose model is $$ \begin{cases} u_{t}- \Delta_p u+|u|^{q-1}u=\lambda & \text{in}\ (0,T)\times\Omega u(0,x)=0 & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\…

We study the theta function and the Hurwitz-type zeta function associated to the Lucas sequence $U=\{U_n(P,Q)\}_{n\geq 0}$ of the first kind determined by the real numbers $P,Q$ under certain natural assumptions on $P$ and $Q$. We deduce an…

The main aim of this paper is twofold. First we generalize, in a novel way, most of the known non-vanishing results for the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function by establishing the existence of an infinite sequence of regions in the…

We consider the second order semilinear elliptic system $\Delta u= p\left( x\right) v^\alpha,$ $\Delta v= q\left(x\right) u^\beta,$ where $x \in \mathbf{R}^N,$ $N \geq 3,$ $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants, $p$ and $q$ are…

As we have shown several years ago [Y2], zeros of $L(s, \Delta )$ and $L^(2)(s, \Delta )$ can be calculated quite efficiently by a certain experimental method. Here $\Delta$ denotes the cusp form of weight 12 with respect to SL$(2, Z)$ and…
