Finite Groups with p-Multiplicative Probabilistic Zeta Function

We prove that a finite group G is p-soluble if and only if the Dirichlet polynomial P _G (s) is p-multiplicative. Moreover, we show that one can recover the set of prime divisors of the order of G from the knowledge of P _G (s).     

Hermite Expansion of the Riemann Zeta Function

Let $ζ(s)$ be the Riemann zeta function, $s=\sigma+it$. For $0 < \sigma < 1$, we expand $ζ(s)$ as the following series convergent in the space of slowly increasing distributions with variable $t$ : $$ζ(\sigma+it)=\sum\limits^∞_{n=0}a_n(\sigma)ψ_n(t),$$ where $$ψ_n(t)=(2^nn!\sqrt{\pi})^{-1 ⁄ 2}e^{\frac{-t^2}{2}}H_n(t),$$ $H_n(t)$ is the Hermite polynomial, and $$a_n(σ)=2\pi(-1)^{n+1}ψ_n(i(1-σ))+(-i)^n\sqrt{2\pi}\sum\limits^∞_{m=1}\frac{1}{m^σ}ψ_n(1nm).$$ This paper is concerned with the convergence of the above series for $σ > 0.$ In the deduction, it is crucial to regard the zeta function as Fourier transfomations of Schwartz' distributions.     

Some Unusual Identities for Special Values of the Riemann Zeta Function

In this paper, we use elementary methods to derive some new identities for special values of the Riemann zeta function.     

Vinogradov's Integral and Bounds for the Riemann Zeta Function

The main result is an upper bound for the Riemann zeta functionin the critical strip: with A = 76.2 and B = 4.45, valid for 1 and |t| 3. The previousbest constant B was 18.5. Tools include a variant of the Korobov–Vinogradovmethod of bounding exponential sums, an explicit version ofT. D. Wooley's bounds for Vinogradov's integral, and explicitbounds for mean values of exponential sums over numbers withoutsmall prime factors, also using methods of Wooley. An auxiliaryresult is the exponential sum bound , where N is a positive integer, t is a real number, = log (t)/(logN) and 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: primary 11M06, 11N05,11L15; secondary 11D72, 11M35.     

The Igusa Zeta Function Associated with a Composite Power Function on the Space of Rectangular Matrices

On the space of real rectangular n × m matrices, we introduce a composite power function and study the zeta integral associated with it. We describe the properties of the Igusa zeta function on the basis of the properties of a generalized composite power function and establish a functional relation for the zeta integral. As a result, the Fourier transform of a generalized composite power function is found in explicit form.

On Some Integrals Involving the Hurwitz Zeta Function: Part 2

We establish a series of indefinite integral formulae involving the Hurwitz zeta function and other elementary and special functions related to it, such as the Bernoulli polynomials, ln sin(q), ln (q) and the polygamma functions. Many of the results are most conveniently formulated in terms of a family of functions A _k(q) := k(1 – k, q), k , and a family of polygamma functions of negative order, whose properties we study in some detail.     

On Some Integrals Involving the Hurwitz Zeta Function: Part 1

Poles of Zeta Functions on Normal Surfaces

Let (S, 0) be a normal surface germ and Let f a non-constantregular function on Let (S, 0) with Let f(0) = 0. Using anyadditive invariant on complex algebraic varieties one can associatea zeta function to these data, where the topological and motiviczeta functions are the roughest and the finest zeta functions,respectively. In this paper we are interested in a geometricdetermination of the poles of these functions. The second authorhas already provided such a determination for the topologicalzeta function in the case of non-singular surfaces. Here wegive a complete answer for all normal surfaces, at least onthe motivic level. The topological zeta function however seemsto be too rough for this purpose, although for negative poles,which are the only ones in the non-singular case, we are ableto prove exactly the same result as for non-singular surfaces. We also give and verify a (natural) definition for when a rationalnumber is a pole of the motivic zeta function. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 14B05, 14E15, 14J17 (primary), 32S50(secondary).     

A Lower Bound in an Approximation Problem Involving the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function

We slightly improve the lower bound of Báez-Duarte, Balazard, Landreau and Saias in the Nyman-Beurling formulation of the Riemann Hypothesis as an approximation problem. We construct Hilbert space vectors which could prove useful in the context of the so-called “Hilbert-Pólya idea”.     

Zeta Functions for Curves and Log Canonical Models

The topological zeta function and Igusa's local zeta functionare respectively a geometrical invariant associated to a complexpolynomial f and an arithmetical invariant associated to a polynomialf over a p-adic field. When f is a polynomial in two variables we prove a formula forboth zeta functions in terms of the so-called log canonicalmodel of f^-1{0} in A². This result yields moreover a conceptualexplanation for a known cancellation property of candidate polesfor these zeta functions. Also in the formula for Igusa's localzeta function appears a remarkable non-symmetric ‘q-deformation’of the intersection matrix of the minimal resolution of a Hirzebruch-Jungsingularity. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 32S5011S80 14E30 (14G20)

Transmission Eigenvalues and the Riemann Zeta Function in Scattering Theory for Automorphic Forms on Fuchsian Groups of Type I

We introduce the concept of transmission eigenvalues in scattering theory for automorphic forms on fundamental domains generated by discrete groups acting on the hyperbolic upper half complex plane. In particular, we consider Fuchsian groups of type Ⅰ. Transmission eigenvalues are related to those eigen-parameters for which one can send an incident wave that produces no scattering. The notion of transmission eigenvalues, or non-scattering energies, is well studied in the Euclidean geometry, where in some cases these eigenvalues appear as zeros of the scattering matrix. As opposed to scattering poles, in hyperbolic geometry such a connection between zeros of the scattering matrix and non-scattering energies is not studied, and the goal of this paper is to do just this for particular arithmetic groups. For such groups, using existing deep results from analytic number theory, we reveal that the zeros of the scattering matrix, consequently non-scattering energies, are directly expressed in terms of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Weyl's asymptotic laws are provided for the eigenvalues in those cases along with estimates on their location in the complex plane.     

Exponential Sums and the Riemann Zeta Function V

A Van der Corput exponential sum is S = exp (2 i f(m)) wherem has size M, the function f(x) has size T and = (log M) / log T < 1. There are different bounds for S in differentranges for . In the middle range where is near 1/over 2, . This bounds the exponent of growthof the Riemann zeta function on its critical line Re s = 1/over2. Van der Corput used an iteration which changed at each step.The Bombieri–Iwaniec method, whilst still based on meansquares, introduces number-theoretic ideas and problems. TheSecond Spacing Problem is to count the number of resonancesbetween short intervals of the sum, when two arcs of the graphof y = f'(x) coincide approximately after an automorphism ofthe integer lattice. In the previous paper in this series [Proc.London Math. Soc. (3) 66 (1993) 1–40] and the monographArea, lattice points, and exponential sums we saw that coincidenceimplies that there is an integer point close to some ‘resonancecurve’, one of a family of curves in some dual space,now calculated accurately in the paper ‘Resonance curvesin the Bombieri–Iwaniec method’, which is to appearin Funct. Approx. Comment. Math. We turn the whole Bombieri–Iwaniec method into an axiomatisedstep: an upper bound for the number of integer points closeto a plane curve gives a bound in the Second Spacing Problem,and a small improvement in the bound for S. Ends and cusps ofresonance curves are treated separately. Bounds for sums oftype S lead to bounds for integer points close to curves, andanother branching iteration. Luckily Swinnerton-Dyer's methodis stronger. We improve from 0.156140... in the previous paperand monograph to 0.156098.... In fact (32/205 + , 269/410 +) is an exponent pair for every > 0. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 11L07 (primary), 11M06, 11P21, 11J54 (secondary).
