This paper studies combinations of the Riemann zeta function, based on one defined by P.R. Taylor, which was shown by him to have all its zeros on the critical line. With a rescaled complex argument, this is denoted here by ${\cal T}_-(s)$,…

We give an iterative method to realize general Jack functions from Jack functions of rectangular shapes. We first show some cases of Stanley's conjecture on positivity of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, and then use this method to…

Let $\zeta(.)$ denote the Riemann zeta function and let $a(.)$ and $A(.)$ respectively denote a multiplicative function and its corresponding summatory function. We consider the correlation $$ \langle a(n)A(n-1) \rangle (T) =…

The Evans function is a well known tool for locating spectra of differential operators in one spatial dimension. In this paper we construct a multidimensional analogue as the modified Fredholm determinant of a ratio of Dirichlet-to-Robin…

The notion of group entropy is proposed. It enables to unify and generalize many different definitions of entropy known in the literature, as those of Boltzmann-Gibbs, Tsallis, Abe and Kaniadakis. Other new entropic functionals are…

Since a 1932 work from von Neumann, it is generally considered that if two statistical mixtures are represented by the same density operator \r{ho}, they should in fact be considered as the same mixture. In a 1970 paper, Zeh, considering…

Landau examined the partial sums of the M\"obius function and the Liouville function for a number field $K$. First we shall try again the same problem by using a new Perron's formula due to Liu and Ye. Next we consider the equivalent…

Inequality measures provide a valuable tool for the analysis, comparison, and optimization based on system models. This work studies the relation between attributes or features of an individual to understand how redundant, unique, and…

We show that the twisted second moments of the Riemann zeta function averaged over the arithmetic progression $1/2 + i(an + b)$ with $a > 0$, $b$ real, exhibits a remarkable correspondance with the analogous continuous average and derive…

In this work we consider an equation for the Riemann zeta-function in the critical half-strip. With the help of this equation we prove that finding non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function outside the critical line would be equivalent…

We introduce a new Tauberian framework through the theory of "regular arithmetic functions". This allows us to establish a characterization of the Riemann hypothesis by linking the floor function to the distribution of nontrivial zeros of…

The Riemann Hypothesis can be reformulated as statements about the eigenvalues of certain matrices whose entries are defined in terms of the Taylor coefficients of the zeta function. These eigenvalues exhibit interesting visual patterns…

This is a survey about spectral sets, to appear in the second edition of Handbook of Linear Algebra (L. Hogben, ed.). Spectral sets and K-spectral sets, introduced by John von Neumann, offer a possibility to estimate the norm of functions…

We announce a new type of "Jacobi identity" for vertex operator algebras, incorporating values of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers. Using this we "explain" and generalize some recent work of S. Bloch's relating values of the…

Markov processes are well understood in the case when they take place in the whole Euclidean space. However, the situation becomes much more complicated if a Markov process is restricted to a domain with a boundary, and then a satisfactory…

Felix Klein and Abraham Fraenkel each formulated a criterion for a theory of infinitesimals to be successful, in terms of the feasibility of implementation of the Mean Value Theorem. We explore the evolution of the idea over the past…

J. Hadamard's ideas about the correct formulation of the problems of mathematical physics have been analyzed. In this connection various interpretations of the directly related Banach theorem about the inverse operator has been touched. The…

A possible connection between quantum computing and Zeta functions of finite field equations is described. Inspired by the 'spectral approach' to the Riemann conjecture, the assumption is that the zeroes of such Zeta functions correspond to…

Richard P. Feynman's work on gravitation, as can be inferred from several published and unpublished sources, is reviewed. Feynman was involved with this subject at least from late 1954 to the late 1960s, giving several pivotal contributions…

We consider the algebra of mixed multidimensional integral operators. In particular, Fredholm integral operators of the first and second kind belongs to this algebra. For the piecewise constant kernels we provide an explicit representation…
