It is shown that a known asymptotic expansion of the Kummer function $U(a,b,z)$ as $a$ tends to infinity is valid for $z$ on the full Riemann surface of the logarithm. A corresponding result is also proved in a more general setting…
Eisenstein series are real analytic functions which play a central role in spectral theory of the hyperbolic Laplacian. Kronecker limit formulas determine their connection to modular forms. The main result of this work is Theorem 7.2 in…
We prove homology stability for elementary and special linear groups over rings with many units improving known stability ranges. Our result implies stability for unstable Quillen K-groups and proves a conjecture of Bass. For commutative…
We consider four-dimensional general relativity with a positive cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, in the presence of a boundary, $\Gamma$, of finite spatial size. The boundary is located near a cosmological event horizon, and is subject to…
We obtain two sequences of rational numbers which converge to the Euler-Gompertz constant. Denote by <f(x)> the integral of f(x)e^{-x} from 0 to infinity. Recall that the Euler-Gompertz constant \delta is <ln(x+1)>. Main idea. Let P_n(x) be…
Theories of low-energy Lorentz violation by a fixed-norm "aether" vector field with two-derivative kinetic terms have a globally bounded Hamiltonian and are perturbatively stable only if the vector is timelike and the kinetic term in the…
Given an o-minimal expansion $\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A}}$ of the real ordered field, generated by a generalized quasianalytic class $\mathcal{A}$, we construct an explicit truncation closed ordered differential field embedding of the Hardy…
We study the asymptotic behavior of two statistics defined on the symmetric group S_n when n tends to infinity: the number of elements of S_n having k records, and the number of elements of S_n for which the sum of the positions of their…
In large dimension, we study the asymptotic behavior of the mean number of critical points with index k below a level u for an isotropic centered Gaussian random field defined on a family of subsets of $R^d$ depending on d. We prove the…
In this talk, I will summarize the present state of a long-term effort to obtain information on the high-order asymptotic behaviour of the QED perturbation series through the effective action. Starting with the constant-field case, I will…
We establish a general Kronecker limit formula of arbitrary rank over global function fields with Drinfeld period domains playing the role of upper-half plane. The Drinfeld-Siegel units come up as equal characteristic modular forms…
We consider a certain ultrahyperbolic equation in a Euclidean space being a generalization of Klein-Gordon-Fock equation. The behavior of solutions at points tending to infinity along timelike directions is studied. We examine the issue of…
We study the determinant $\det(I-\gamma K_s), 0<\gamma <1$, of the integrable Fredholm operator $K_s$ acting on the interval $(-1,1)$ with kernel $K_s(\lambda, \mu)= \frac{\sin s(\lambda - \mu)}{\pi (\lambda-\mu)}$. This determinant arises…
The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the Li criterion governing a sequence of real constants, that are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity. We investigate a related set of constants c_n, n =…
We study the asymptotics conjecture of Malle for dihedral groups $D_\ell$ of order $2\ell$, where $\ell$ is an odd prime. We prove the expected lower bound for those groups. For the upper bounds we show that there is a connection to class…
We study scenarios where a scalar field has a spatially varying vacuum expectation value such that the total field variation is super-Planckian. We focus on the case where the scalar field controls the coupling of a U(1) gauge field, which…
We derive norm bounds that imply the convergence of perturbation theory in fermionic quantum field theory if the propagator is summable and has a finite Gram constant. These bounds are sufficient for an application in renormalization group…

We initiate the study of the asymptotic behavior of small solutions to one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equations with variable coefficient quadratic nonlinearities. The main discovery in this work is a striking resonant interaction between…
