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…

Resonance states in quantum chaotic scattering systems have a multifractal structure that depends on their decay rate. We show how classical dynamics describes this structure for all decay rates in the semiclassical limit. This result for…
Let M be a compact closed n-dimensional manifold. Given a Riemannian metric on M, we consider the zeta function Z(s) for the de Rham Laplacian and the Bochner Laplacian on p-forms. The hessian of Z(s) with respect to variations of the…

Physicists become acquainted with special functions early in their studies. Consider our perennial model, the harmonic oscillator, for which we need Hermite functions, or the Laguerre functions in quantum mechanics. Here we choose a…
The spectral determinant is usually defined using the spectral zeta function that is meromorphically continued to zero. In this definition, the complex logarithms of the eigenvalues appear. Hence the notion of the spectral determinant…
