Asymptotics of the Distribution of Eigenvalues of a Selfadjoint Second Order Hyperbolic Differential Operator on the Two-Dimensional Torus

We study the asymptotic properties of the discrete spectrum for general selfadjoint second order hyperbolic operators on the two-dimensional torus. For a broad class of operators with sufficiently smooth coefficients and the principal part coinciding with the wave operator in the light cone coordinates we prove the discreteness of the spectrum and obtain an asymptotic formula for the distribution of eigenvalues. In some cases we can indicate the first two asymptotic terms. We discuss the relations of these questions to analytic number theory and mathematical physics.     

The emergence of time

Classically, one could imagine a completely static space, thus without time. As is known, this picture is unconceivable in quantum physics due to vacuum fluctuations. The fundamental difference between the two frameworks is that classical physics is commutative (simultaneous observables) while quantum physics is intrinsically noncommutative (Heisenberg uncertainty relations). In this sense, we may say that time is generated by noncommutativity; if this statement is correct, we should be able to derive time out of a noncommutative space. We know that a von Neumann algebra is a noncommutative space. About 50 years ago the Tomita–Takesaki modular theory revealed an intrinsic evolution associated with any given (faithful, normal) state of a von Neumann algebra, so a noncommutative space is intrinsically dynamical. This evolution is characterised by the Kubo–Martin–Schwinger thermal equilibrium condition in quantum statistical mechanics (Haag, Hugenholtz, Winnink), thus modular time is related to temperature. Indeed, positivity of temperature fixes a quantum-thermodynamical arrow of time. We shall sketch some aspects of our recent work extending the modular evolution to a quantum operation (completely positive map) level and how this gives a mathematically rigorous understanding of entropy bounds in physics and information theory. A key point is the relation with Jones’ index of subfactors. In the last part, we outline further recent entropy computations in relativistic quantum field theory models by operator algebraic methods, that can be read also within classical information theory. The information contained in a classical wave packet is defined by the modular theory of standard subspaces and related to the quantum null energy inequality.     

Numbers in a given set with (or without) a large prime factor

This survey treats two connected questions in analytic number theory: given a set of natural numbers, one may seek numbers with large prime factors in the set. Alternatively, one searches for smooth numbers in the set. Many examples have been studied: the set of values of a polynomial, the set of integers in a short interval, the set of shifted primes p+a and so on. These are discussed at some length, with references to the literature.     

On generalized harmonic number sums

We evaluate generalized harmonic number sums with parameter in terms of values of polylogarithm functions, and several examples are given. Instances of such sums occur in diverse areas including analytic number theory, and in calculations of high energy, nuclear, and atomic physics.     

On some functional relations between Mordell-Tornheim double L-functions and Dirichlet L-functions

In the past decade, many relation formulas for the multiple zeta values, further for the multiple L-values at positive integers have been discovered. Recently Matsumoto suggested that it is important to reveal whether those relations are valid only at integer points, or valid also at other values. Indeed the famous Euler formula for ζ(2k) can be regarded as a part of the functional equation of ζ(s). In this paper, we give certain analytic functional relations between the Mordell-Tornheim double L-functions and the Dirichlet L-functions of conductor 3 and 4. These can be regarded as continuous generalizations of the known discrete relations between the Mordell-Tornheim L-values and the Dirichlet L-values of conductor 3 and 4 at positive integers.     

The number of certain integral polynomials and nonrecursive sets of integers, Part 2

We present some examples of mathematically natural nonrecursive sets of integers and relations on integers by combining results from Part 1, from recursion theory, and from the negative solution to Hilbert's 10th Problem.

     

Zeta functions interpolating the convolution of the Bernoulli polynomials

We prove several relations on multiple Hurwitz–Riemann zeta functions. Using analytic continuation of these multiple Hurwitz–Riemann zeta functions, we quote at negative integers Euler's nonlinear relation for generalized Bernoulli polynomials and numbers. As an application, we give a general convolution identity for Bernoulli numbers.     

Random determinants

In the survey, the principal assertions of the theory of random determinants are collected. The theory emerged on the borderline between probability theory and sciences related to it: control theory, statistical physics, nuclear physics, multivariate statistical analysis, and solid-state physics. The applications are discussed of the theory of random determinants to statistical analysis of observations on random vectors of growing dimension.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Teoriya Veroyatnostei, Matematicheskaya Statistika, Teoreticheskaya Kibernetika, Vol. 24, pp. 3–51, 1986.     

Locally symmetric immersions

We use reflections with respect to submanifolds and related geometric results to develop, inspired by the work of Ferus and other authors, in a unified way a local theory of extrinsic symmetric immersions and submanifolds in a general analytic Riemannian manifold and in locally symmetric spaces. In particular we treat the case of real and complex space forms and study additional relations with holomorphic and symplectic reflections when the ambient space is almost Hermitian. The global case is also taken into consideration and several examples are given.     

Asymptotic analysis for linear difference equations

We are concerned with asymptotic analysis for linear difference equations in a locally convex space. First we introduce the profile operator, which plays a central role in analyzing the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions. Then factorial asymptotic expansions for the solutions are given quite explicitly. Finally we obtain Gevrey estimates for the solutions. In a forthcoming paper we will develop the theory of cohomology groups for recurrence relations. The main results in this paper lay analytic foundations of such an algebraic theory, while they are of intrinsic interest in the theory of finite differences.

     

Approximate Wavelets and the Approximation of Pseudodifferential Operators

This paper studiesapproximate multiresolution analysisfor spaces generated by smooth functions providing high-order semi-analytic cubature formulas for multidimensional integral operators of mathematical physics. Since these functions satisfy refinement equations with any prescribed accuracy, methods from wavelet theory can be applied. We obtain an approximate decomposition of the finest scale space into almost orthogonal wavelet spaces. For the example of the Gaussian function we study some properties of the analytic prewavelets and describe the projection operators onto the wavelet spaces. The multivariate wavelets retain the property of the scaling function to provide efficient analytic expressions for the action of important integral operators, which leads to sparse and semi-analytic representations of these operators.     

Infinite-Dimensional Analysis and Analytic Number Theory

We consider arithmetical aspects of analysis on Fock spaces (Boson Fock space, Fermion Fock space, and Boson–Fermion Fock space) with applications to analytic number theory.     

Duality between prime factors and an application to the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions

We study in this paper a new duality identity between large and small prime factors of integers and its relationship with the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions. The asymptotic behavior of large prime factors of integers leads to interesting relations involving the Möbius function.     

A random fractal in the ring of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic integers

In this article, we will give a construction of a random fractal in the ring of p-adic integers and examine an extent of the random fractals. Paying attention to an importance in statistical self similarity, we will perform measurement for the extent in terms of the Hausdorff dimension similarly to the typical fractal analysis in the Euclidean space. In our study, we will take a measure theoretic approach combined with the martingale theory based on Falconer’s method.

�����۵Ľ���

This is the fourth article on the same topic.The earlier ones are[1],[2],[5]. Here,a brief introduction to a number of landmark events in a decade, which indicates that the probability theory has been moving to mature, becomes a normal branch of mathematics. We introduce this relatively young mathematics disciplines of the growth bit. And then combined with personal experience, focusing on the cross-penetration and typical results of probability theory with statistical physics and other disciplines branch of mathematics in the past decade. This article is not subject review, but only hope that through one or two sides, showing the development and progress of probability theory.     

Representations of positive integers

The problem of representing integers as sums of terms of certain type is actual in number theory and its applications. We are interested in the average length of these expansions and the required number of auxiliary calculations. The paper deals with DBNS, chains, and the polyadic (factorial) expansions of positive integers.     

Orbit equivalence of Cantor minimal systems: A survey and a new proof

We give a new proof of the classification, up to topological orbit equivalence, of minimal AF-equivalence relations and minimal actions of the group of integers on the Cantor set. This proof relies heavily on the structure of AF-equivalence relations and the theory of dimension groups; we give a short survey of these topics.     

A class of relations among multiple zeta values

We prove a new class of relations among multiple zeta values (MZV's) which contains Ohno's relation. We also give the formula for the maximal number of independent MZV's of fixed weight, under our new relations. To derive our formula for MZV's, we consider the Newton series whose values at non-negative integers are finite multiple harmonic sums.     

Fat point embeddings in affine space

We show that any fat point (local punctual scheme) has at most one embedding in the affine space up to analytic equivalence. If the algebra of functions of the fat point admits a non-trivial grading over the non-negative integers, we prove that it has at most one embedding up to algebraic equivalence. However, we give an example of a fat point having algebraically non-equivalent embeddings in the affine plane.
