Mahler's measure: proof of two conjectured formulae.
The Manin conjecture is established for a split singular del Pezzo surface of degree four, with singularity type .
We prove Manin’s conjecture for a del Pezzo surface of degree six which has one singularity of type . Moreover, we achieve a meromorphic continuation and explicit expression of the associated height zeta function.
The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over the rational function field at the central point s=1/2, where the character χ is defined by the Legendre symbol for polynomials over finite fields and runs over all monic irreducible polynomials P of a given odd degree. Asymptotic formulae are derived for fixed finite fields when the degree of P is large. The first moment obtained here is the function field analogue of a result due to Jutila in the...
This paper establishes new bridges between zeta functions in number theory and modern harmonic analysis, namely between the class of complex functions, which contains the zeta functions of arithmetic schemes and closed with respect to product and quotient, and the class of mean-periodic functions in several spaces of functions on the real line. In particular, the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of the zeta function of an arithmetic scheme with its expected analytic shape is shown...
We identify the weight four newform of a modular Calabi-Yau manifold studied by Hulek and Verrill. The main obstacle is that this Calabi-Yau manifold is not rigid and has bad reduction at prime 13. Replacing the original fiber product of elliptic fibrations with a fiberwise Kummer construction we reduce the problem to studying the modularity of a rigid Calabi-Yau manifold with good reduction at primes p ≥ 5.
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...
