The finite n-th polylogarithm li_n(z) in Z/p[z] is defined as the sum on k from 1 to p-1 of z^k/k^n. We state and prove the following theorem. Let Li_k:C_p to C_p be the p-adic polylogarithms defined by Coleman. Then a certain linear…

We show an explicit formula relating \'etale polylogarithms introduced by Wojtkowiak and finite polylogarithms introduced by Elbaz-Vincent and Gangl. This formula is an \'etale analog of Besser's formula relating Coleman's $p$-adic…

Based on a variant of the Kontsevich $1\frac{1}{2}$-logarithm function, we construct a regulator in characteristic $p.$ This also leads to an infinitesimal invariant of certain cycles in characteristic $p.$

Kontsevich's graphs from deformation quantisation allow encoding multi-vectors whose coefficients are differential-polynomial in components of Poisson brackets on finite-dimensional affine manifolds. The calculus of Kontsevich graphs can be…

This paper is an exposition of heuristics related to Witten's functional integral, relating it to Vassiliev invariants and to the Kontsevich integrals that can be used to produce Vassiliev invariants of knots and links.In particular, we…

We extend Kolchin's results on linear dependence over projective varieties in the constants, to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence…

We shall define the q-analogs of multiple zeta functions and multiple polylogarithms in this paper and study their properties, based on the work of Kaneko et al. and Schlesinger, respectively.

A conjecture of I. Krasikov is proved. Several discrete analogues of classical polynomial inequalities are derived, along with results which allow extensions to a class of transcendental entire functions in the Laguerre-P\'olya class.

It is believed arXiv:0808.2762, arXiv:math/9904055 that, among the coefficients entering Kontsevich's formality quasi-isomorphism arXiv:q-alg/9709040, there are irrational (possibly even transcendental) numbers. In this paper, we prove that…

Studying degenerate versions of various special polynomials have become an active area of research and yielded many interesting arithmetic and combinatorial results. Here we introduce a degenerate version of polylogarithm function, called…

We study the problem of synthesizing polyhedral Lyapunov functions for hybrid linear systems. Such functions are defined as convex piecewise linear functions, with a finite number of pieces. We first prove that deciding whether there exists…

In this paper, we consider degenerate poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials associated with polylogarithmic function and p-adic invariant integral on Zp. By using umbral calculus, we derive some identities of those numbers and polynomials

We study properties of coefficients of a linear form, originating from a multiple integral. As a corollary, we prove Vasilyev's conjecture, connected with the problem of irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers.

We show that symmetric polynomials previously introduced by the author satisfy a certain differential equation. After a change of variables, it can be written as a non-stationary Schr\"odinger equation with elliptic potential, which is…

We construct a diffeomorphism invariant (Colombeau-type) differential algebra canonically containing the space of distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. Employing differential calculus in infinite dimensional (convenient) vector spaces,…

We present the bilinear forms of the (continuous) Painlev\'e equations obtained from the continuous limit of the analogous expresssions for the discrete ones. The advantage of this method is that it leads to very symmetrical results. A new…

We examine connections between rationality of certain indefinite integrals and equilibrium of Coulomb charges in the complex plane.

Given a finite dimensional representation of a semisimple Lie algebra there are two ways of constructing link invariants: 1) quantum group invariants using the R-matrix, 2) the Kontsevich universal link invariant followed by the Lie algebra…

Linear differential equations of arbitrary order with polynomial coefficients are considered. Specifically, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of polynomial solutions of a given degree are obtained for these equations. An…
