There are only aleph-zero rational numbers, while there are 2 to the power aleph-zero real numbers. Hence the probability that a randomly chosen real number would be rational is 0. Yet proving rigorously that any specific, natural, real…

We study a family of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$ whose periods are linear forms in the zeta values $\zeta(n)$. They naturally include the Beukers-Rhin-Viola integrals for $\zeta(2)$ and the Ball-Rivoal linear forms in odd zeta…

This note proves that the first odd zeta value does not have a closed form formula $\zeta(3)\ne r \pi^3$ for any rational number $r \in \mathbb{Q}$. Furthermore, assuming the irrationality of the second odd zeta value $\zeta(5)$, it is…

We present new algorithms for computing zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. In particular, let X be an arithmetic scheme (scheme of finite type over Z), and for a prime p let zeta_{X_p}(s) be the local factor of its…

A general hypergeometric construction of linear forms in (odd) zeta values is presented. The construction allows to recover the records of Rhin and Viola for the irrationality measures of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, as well as to explain…

We study implications of expansiveness and pointwise periodicity for certain groups and semigroups of transformations. Among other things we prove that every pointwise periodic finitely generated group of cellular automata is necessarily…

Principally polarized abelian surfaces with prescribed real multiplication (RM) are parametrized by certain Hilbert modular surfaces. Thus rational genus 2 curves correspond to rational points on the Hilbert modular surfaces via their…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

Given $\eta=\begin{pmatrix} a&b\\c&d \end{pmatrix}\in \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q})$, we consider the number of rational points on the genus one curve \[H_\eta:y^2=(a(1-x^2)+b(2x))^2+(c(1-x^2)+d(2x))^2.\] We prove that the set of $\eta$ for which…

Recently, MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisor functions were shown to link partitions, quasimodular forms, and q-multiple zeta values. In this paper, we explore many further properties and extensions of these. Firstly, we address a…

We represent the Riemann zeta function in the half-plane $\Re s >1$ via series whose terms admit geometrically decreasing bounds. Due to an underlying recurrence relation, which is used to compute coefficients entering into the terms, the…

We prove non-trivial lower bounds for sums of type $\sum_{p\sim P}g(\gamma\Log p)$, where $g$ is a non-negative $2\pi$-periodical function and $\gamma$ is a given parameter. As an application we prove that $\zeta(1+it)^{\pm1}\ll\Log\Log…

We present results for infinite series appearing in Feynman diagram calculations, many of which are similar to the Euler series. These include both one-, two- and three-dimensional series. All these series can be expressed in terms of…

We identify a partition-theoretic generalization of Riemann zeta function and the equally positive integer-indexed harmonic sums at infinity, to obtain the generating function and the integral representations of the latter. The special…

In this note, I present a simple PSLQ code for finding null linear combinations, with the best rational coefficients, of mathematical constants, within some prescribed precision. As an example, I explore approximate expressions for the…

We use the theory of $\textbf{U}_q$-tilting modules to construct cellular bases for centralizer algebras. Our methods are quite general and work for any quantum group $\textbf{U}_q$ attached to a Cartan matrix and include the non-semisimple…

Let $p$ and $l$ be rational primes such that $l$ is odd and the order of $p$ modulo $l$ is even. For such primes $p$ and $l$, and for $e=l, 2l$, we consider the non-singular projective curves $aY^e = bX^e + cZ^e$ ($abc \neq 0$) defined over…

We study some infinite products of absolute zeta functions. Especially, we consider the convergence and the rationality of them.

In this paper, some new results are reported for the study of Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the critical strip $0<Re(s)<1$, such as $\zeta(s)$ expressed in a generalized Euler product only involving prime numbers. Particularly, some…

Let X be a projective scheme over a finite field. In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the number of effective cycles on X with bounded degree as it goes to the infinity. By this estimate, we can define a certain kind of…
