Abstract The Riemann zeta distribution, defined as the one whose characteristic function is the normalised Riemann zeta function, is an interesting example of an infinitely divisible distribution. The infinite divisibility of the distribution has been proved with recourse to the Euler product of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper, we look at multiple zeta-star function, which is a multi-d...

Abstract. In this paper, we prove a new identity for values of the Hurwitz zeta function which contains as particular cases Koecher’s identity for odd zeta values, the Bailey-Borwein-Bradley identity for even zeta values and many other interesting formulas related to values of the Hurwitz zeta function. We also get an extension of the bivariate identity of Cohen to values of the Hurwitz zeta fu...

Given an abelian Galois extension K/F of number fields, a quaternion algebra A over F that is ramified at all infinite primes, and a character χ of the Galois group of K over F , we consider the twist of the zeta function of A by the character χ. We show that such twisted zeta functions provide a factorization of the zeta function of A(K) = A ⊗F K. Also, the quotient of the zeta function for A(...

Stark and Terras introduced the edge zeta function of a finite graph in 1996. The edge zeta function is the reciprocal of a polynomial in twice as many variables as edges in the graph and can be computed in polynomial time. We look at graph properties which we can determine using the edge zeta function. In particular, the edge zeta function is enough to deduce the clique number, the number of H...

Motivated by arithmetic applications, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function which generalizes the classical zeta function of an algebraic variety defined over a finite field. We then explain two approaches to the general structural properties of the partial zeta function in the direction of the Weil type conjectures. The first approach, using an inductive fibred variety point of vi...

The connection zeta function of a finite abstract simplicial complex G is defined as zeta_L(s)=sum_x 1/lambda_x^s, where lambda_x are the eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian L defined by L(x,y)=1 if x and y intersect and 0 else. (I) As a consequence of the spectral formula chi(G)=sum_x (-1)^dim(x) = p(G)-n(G), where p(G) is the number of positive eigenvalues and n(G) is the number of negati...

We show that the skew-growth function of a dual Artin monoid of finite type P has exactly rank(P ) =: l simple real zeros on the interval (0, 1]. The proofs for types Al and Bl are based on an unexpected fact that the skewgrowth functions, up to a trivial factor, are expressed by Jacobi polynomials due to a Rodrigues type formula in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. The skew-growth function...

This study determined the hardness and curing depth of a light-activated indirect composite polymerized with three laboratory light-polymerizing units for the purpose of comparing the curing performance of the three units. A light-activated composite material for indirect application (Vita Zeta) was polymerized with three light-polymerizing units equipped with the following light sources: 1) on...

These notes are a rather subjective account of the theory of dynamical zeta functions. They correspond to three lectures presented by the author at the “Numeration” meeting in Leiden in 2010. 1 A Selection of Zeta Functions In its various manifestations, a zeta function ζ(s) is usually a function of a complex variable s ∈ C. We will concentrate on three main types of zeta function, arising in t...
