Local Casimir Energies for a Thin Spherical Shell
Abstract The local Casimir energy density for a massless scalar field associated with step-function potentials in a 3 + 1 dimensional spherical geometry is considered. The potential is chosen to be zero except in a shell of thickness δ, where it has height h, with the constraint hδ = 1. In the limit of zero thickness, an ideal δ-function shell is recovered. The behavior of the energy density as...
متن کاملHigher Dimensional Dedekind Sums
In this paper we will study the number-theoretical properties of the expression v1 nkal rcka,, d(p; a I . . . . . an) = ( 1) n/2 ~ cot cot (1) k=l P P and of related finite trigonometric sums. In Eq. (I), p is a positive integer, a~ . . . . . a, are integers prime to p, and n is even (for n odd the sum is clearly equal to zero). There are two reasons for being interested in sums of this type. F...

Let a, a1, . . . , ad be positive integers, m1, . . . ,md nonnegative integers, and z1, . . . , zd complex numbers. We study expressions of the form ∑
متن کاملA hybrid mean value involving a new Gauss sums and Dedekind sums
In this paper, we introduce a new sum analogous to Gauss sum, then we use the properties of the classical Gauss sums and analytic method to study the hybrid mean value problem involving this new sums and Dedekind sums, and give an interesting identity for it.
متن کاملGenerating functions and generalized Dedekind sums
We study sums of the form ∑ ζ R(ζ), where R is a rational function and the sum is over all nth roots of unity ζ (often with ζ = 1 excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for ∏ ζ(1− xR(ζ)). Multisection ca...
