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…
In a spirit of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$, we construct a sequence $p_n/q_n$ of rational approximations to the $2$-adic zeta value $\zeta_2(5)$ which satisfy $0 < |\zeta_2(5)-p_n/q_n|_2 <…
We describe a numerical algorithm for evaluating the numbers of roots minus the number of poles contained in a region based on the argument principle with the function of interest being written as a Mellin transformation of a usually…
The concept of metric dimension has applications in a variety of fields, such as chemistry, robotic navigation, and combinatorial optimization. We show bounds for graphs with $n$ vertices and metric dimension $\beta$. For Hamiltonian…
We give a definition for the restriction of a difference module on the affine line to a formal neighborhood of an orbit, trying to mimic the analogous definition and properties for a D-module. We show that this definition is reasonable in…
Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We give an upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the category $\mod \Lambda$ of finitely generated right $\Lambda$-modules in terms of the projective and injective dimensions of…
We prove the second author's "denominator conjecture" [40] concerning the common denominators of coefficients of certain linear forms in zeta values. These forms were recently constructed to obtain lower bounds for the dimension of the…
We investigate the conformal window of four-dimensional gauge theories with fermionic matter fields in multiple representations. Of particularly relevant examples are the ultra-violet complete models with fermions in two distinct…
Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function. Several…
Traditional linear stability analysis based on matrix diagonalization is a computationally intensive $O(n^3)$ process for $n$-dimensional systems of differential equations, posing substantial limitations for the exploration of Turing…
The Mellin transform and several Dirichlet series related with the Riemann zeta function are used to deduce some identities similar to the classical M\"untz formula [4]. These formulas are derived in the critical strip and in the half-plane…
In this article we study the basic theoretical properties of Mellin-type fractional integrals, known as generalizations of the Hadamard-type fractional integrals. We give a new approach and version, specifying their semigroup property,…
Linear viscoelastic materials are commonly described by continuous relaxation spectra, yet practical measurements and simulations employ discrete Prony series. In the Laplace frequency domain, the distinction is well understood: rational…
We give upper bounds for the dimension of the set of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^N$ whose intersection with a fixed integral projective variety is not integral. Our upper bounds are optimal. As an application, we construct, when possible,…
In 2005, Li, Tao, Thiele and the author raised a general question concerning upper bounds for a class of multilinear oscillatory integral operators, and established such bounds in a few cases. Most cases remain open. The present paper is…
We prove the new upper bound 5.095412 for the irrationality exponent of $\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$; the earlier record bound 5.441243 was established in 1996 by G. Rhin and C. Viola.
The finite volume problem of O(2N) sigma models with integrable diagonal boundaries on a finite interval is investigated. The double row transfer matrix is diagonalized by Algebraic Bethe Ansatz. The boundary Bethe Yang equations for the…
We investigate the depinning transition for driven interfaces in the random-field Ising model for various dimensions. We consider the order parameter as a function of the control parameter (driving field) and examine the effect of thermal…
Given a holonomic D-module M on a 1-dimensional torus, one can consider its Mellin transform, which is a difference system on the affine line. In this note we prove a formal stationary phase formula, which shows that the formal behavior at…
We study a class of nonlocal conformal field theories in two dimensions which are obtained as deformations of the Virasoro minimal models. The construction proceeds by coupling a relevant primary operator $\phi_{r,s}$ of the $m$-th minimal…
