Abstract

top
We study multiple Bernoulli series associated to a sequence of vectors generating a lattice in a vector space. The associated multiple Bernoulli series is a periodic and locally polynomial function, and we give an explicit formula (called wall crossing formula) comparing the polynomial densities in two adjacent domains of polynomiality separated by a hyperplane. We also present a formula in the spirit of Euler-MacLaurin formula. Finally, we give a decomposition formula for the Bernoulli series describing it as a superposition of convolution products of lower dimensional Bernoulli series and multisplines. The study of these series is motivated by the work of E. Witten, computing the symplectic volume of the moduli space of flat G-connections on a Riemann surface with one boundary component.
