For a germ of a meromorphic function f=P/Q, we offer notions of the monodromy operators at zero and at infinity. If the holomorphic functions P and Q are non-degenerated with respect to their Newton diagrams, we give an analogue of the formula of Varchenko for the zeta-functions of these monodromy operators.
We prove that a meromorphic mapping, which sends a peace of a real analytic strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\cc^2$ to a compact subset of $\cc^N$ which doesn't contain germs of non-constant complex curves is continuous from the concave side of the hypersurface. This implies the analytic continuability along CR-paths of germs of holomorphic mappings from real analytic hypersurfaces with non-vanishing Levi form to the locally spherical ones in all dimensions.
We investigate the existence of the meromorphic extension of the spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on self-similar fractals using the classical results of Kigami and Lapidus (based on the renewal theory) and new results of Hambly and Kajino based on the heat kernel estimates and other probabilistic techniques. We also formulate conjectures which hold true in the examples that have been analyzed in the existing literature.
Meromorphic germs in several variables with linear poles naturally arise in mathematics in various disguises. We investigate their rich structures under the prism of locality, including locality subalgebras, locality transformation groups and locality characters. The key technical tool is the dependence subspace for a meromorphic germ with which we define a locality orthogonal relation between two meromorphic germs. We describe the structure of locality subalgebras generated by classes of meromorphic germs with certain types of poles. We also define and determine their group of locality transf…
It is known that local zeta functions associated with real analytic functions can be analytically continued as meromorphic functions to the whole complex plane. But, in the case of general ($C^{\infty}$) smooth functions, the meromorphic extension problem is not obvious. Indeed, it has been recently shown that there exist specific smooth functions whose local zeta functions have singularities different from poles. In order to understand the situation of the meromorphic extension in the smooth case, we investigate a simple but essentially important case, in which the respective function is expr…
We use convex polyhedral cones to study a large class of multivariate meromorphic germs, namely those with linear poles, which naturally arise in various contexts in mathematics and physics. We express such a germ as a sum of a holomorphic germ and a linear combination of special non-holomorphic germs called polar germs. In analyzing the supporting cones -- cones that reflect the pole structure of the polar germs -- we obtain a geometric criterion for the non-holomorphicity of linear combinations of polar germs. This yields the uniqueness of the above sum when required to be supported on a sui…
We consider the problem of extending germs of plane holomorphic foliations to foliations of compact surfaces. We show that the germs that become regular after a single blow up and admit meromorphic first integrals can be extended, after local changes of coordinates, to foliations of compact surfaces. We also show that the simplest elements in this class can be defined by polynomial equations. On the other hand we prove that, in the absence of meromorphic first integrals there are uncountably many elements without polynomial representations.
In \cite{BeEr}, Bergweiler and Eremenko computed the number of critical points of the Green's function on a torus by investigating the dynamics of a certain family of antiholomorphic meromorphic functions on tori. They also observed that hyperbolic maps are dense in this family of meromorphic functions in a rather trivial way. In this paper, we study the parameter space of this family of meromorphic functions, which can be written as antiholomorphic perturbations of Weierstrass Zeta functions. On the one hand, we give a complete topological description of the hyperbolic components and their bo…
In this paper we treat the classical Riemann zeta function as a function of three variables: one is the usual complex $\adyn$-dimensional, customly denoted as $s$, another two are complex infinite dimensional, we denote it as $\b = \{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\z =\{z_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. When $\b = \{1\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\z = \{\frac{1}{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ one gets the usual Riemann zeta function. Our goal in this paper is to study the meromorphic continuation of $ζ(\b , \z ,s)$ as a function of the triple $(\a , \z , s)$. Minor corrections, to appear in the Journal of Mathematical Analy…
For an arbitrary tuple of $m+1$ germs of analytic functions at a fixed point, we introduce the so-called polynomial Hermite-Padé $m$-system (of order $n$, $n\in\mathbb N$), which consists of $m$ tuples of polynomials; these tuples, which are indexed by a natural number $k\in[1,\dots,m]$, are called the $k$th polynomials of the Hermite-Padé $m$-system. We study the weak asymptotics of the polynomials of the Hermite-Padé $m$-system constructed at the point $\infty$ from the tuple of germs $[1, f_{1,\infty},\dotsc$, $f_{m,\infty}]$ of the functions $1, f_1,\dots,f_m$ that are meromorphic on some …
It is proved that the Riemann zeta function does not satisfy any nontrivial algebraic difference equation whose coefficients are meromorphic functions $ϕ$ with Nevanlinna characteristic satisfying $T(r, ϕ)=o(r)$ as $r\to \infty$
An exp-algebraic curve consists of a compact Riemann surface $S$ together with $n$ equivalence classes of germs of meromorphic functions modulo germs of holomorphic functions, $\HH = \{ [h_1], \cdots, [h_n] \}$, with poles of orders $d_1, \cdots, d_n \geq 1$ at points $p_1, \cdots, p_n$. This data determines a space of functions $\OO_{\HH}$ (respectively, a space of $1$-forms $Ω^0_{\HH}$) holomorphic on the punctured surface $S' = S - \{p_1, \cdots, p_n\}$ with exponential singularities at the points $p_1, \cdots, p_n$ of types $[h_1], \cdots, [h_n]$, i.e., near $p_i$ any $f \in \OO_{\HH}$ is …
We show that it is possible to approximate the zeta-function of a curve over a finite field by meromorphic functions which satisfy the same functional equation and moreover satisfy (respectively do not satisfy) the analogue of the Riemann hypothesis. In the other direction, it is possible to approximate holomorphic functions by simple manipulations of such a zeta-function. We also consider the value distribution of zeta-functions of function fields over finite fields from the viewpoint of Nevanlinna theory.
It is known that local zeta functions associated with real analytic functions can be analytically continued as meromorphic functions to the whole complex plane. In this paper, the case of specific (non-real analytic) smooth functions is precisely investigated. Indeed, asymptotic limits of the respective local zeta functions at some singularities in one direction are explicitly computed. Surprisingly, it follows from these behaviors that these local zeta functions have singularities different from poles.
In this paper we establish a close connection between three notions at- tached to a modular subgroup. Namely the set of weight two meromorphic modular forms, the set of equivariant functions on the upper half-plane commuting with the action of the modular subgroup and the set of elliptic zeta functions generalizing the Weierstrass zeta functions. In particular, we show that the equivariant functions can be parameterized by modular objects as well as by elliptic objects.
A family of Zeta functions built as Dirichlet series over the Riemann zeros are shown to have meromorphic extensions in the whole complex plane, for which numerous analytical features (the polar structure, plus countably many special values) are explicitly displayed.
In this paper, we consider linear $q$-difference systems with coefficients that are germs of meromorphic functions, with Newton polygon that has two slopes. Then, we explain how to compute similar meromorphic gauge transformations than those appearing in the work of Bugeaud, using a $q$-analogue of the Borel-Laplace summation.
We prove that the zeta-function $ζ_Δ$ of the Laplacian $Δ$ on a self-similar fractals with spectral decimation admits a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. We characterise the poles, compute their residues, and give expressions for some special values of the zeta-function. Furthermore, we discuss the presence of oscillations in the eigenvalue counting function.
The theory of 'zeta functions of fractal strings' has been initiated by the first author in the early 1990s, and developed jointly with his collaborators during almost two decades of intensive research in numerous articles and several monographs. In 2009, the same author introduced a new class of zeta functions, called `distance zeta functions', which since then, has enabled us to extend the existing theory of zeta functions of fractal strings and sprays to arbitrary bounded (fractal) sets in Euclidean spaces of any dimension. A natural and closely related tool for the study of distance zeta f…
The aim of this work is to study the analytic continuation of the doubly-periodic Barnes zeta function. By using a suitable complex integral representation as a starting point we find the meromorphic extension of the doubly periodic Barnes zeta function to the entire complex plane in terms of a real integral containing the Hurwitz zeta function and the first Jacobi theta function. These allow us to explicitly give expressions for the derivative at all non-positive integer points.
The modified zeta functions $\sum_{n \in K} n^{-s}$, where $K \subset \N$, converge absolutely for $\Re s > 1/2$. These generalise the Riemann zeta function which is known to have a meromorphic continuation to all of $\C$ with a single pole at $s=1$. Our main result is a characterisation of the modified zeta functions that have pole-like behaviour at this point. This behaviour is defined by considering the modified zeta functions as kernels of certain integral operators on the spaces $L^2(I)$ for symmetric and bounded intervals $I \subset \R$. We also consider the special case when the set $K …
It is known that Shintani zeta functions, which generalise multiple zeta functions, extend to meromorphic functions with poles on affine hyperplanes. We refine this result in showing that the poles lie on hyperplanes parallel to the facets of certain convex polyhedra associated to the defining matrix for the Shintani zeta function. Explicitly, the latter are the Newton polytopes of the polynomials induced by the columns of the underlying matrix. We then prove that the coefficients of the equation which describes the hyperplanes in the canonical basis are either zero or one, similar to the pole…
We consider the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} z^{n} (a_{n} + x)^{-s}$ where $a_{n}$ satisfies a linear recurrence of arbitrary degree with integer coefficients. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that it can be continued to a meromorphic function on the complex $s$-plane. Thus we may associate a Lerch-type zeta function $φ(z,s,x)$ to a general recurrence. This subsumes all previous results which dealt only with the ordinary zeta and Hurwitz cases and degrees $2$ and $3$. Our method generalizes a formula of Ramanujan for the classical Hurwitz-Riemann zeta functions. We determine the poles and…
We study the theta function and the Hurwitz-type zeta function associated to the Lucas sequence $U=\{U_n(P,Q)\}_{n\geq 0}$ of the first kind determined by the real numbers $P,Q$ under certain natural assumptions on $P$ and $Q$. We deduce an asymptotic expansion of the theta function $θ_U(t)$ as $t\downarrow 0$ and use it to obtain a meromorphic continuation of the Hurwitz-type zeta function $ζ_{U}\left( s,z\right) =\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }\left(z+U_{n}\right) ^{-s}$ to the whole complex $s-$plane. Moreover, we identify the residues of $ζ_{U}\left( s,z\right)$ at all poles in the half-plane …
We study the incomplete Mellin transformation of the fractional part and the related log-sine function when composed by an affine complex map. We evaluate the corresponding integral in two different ways which yields equalities with series in hypergeometric functions on each side. These equalities capture basic analytic properties of the Hurwitz zeta function like meromorphic extension and the functional equation. We give rates of convergence for the involved series. As a special case we find that the exponential rate of convergence for the deformation of the log-sine to the fractional part in…
This paper studies zeta functions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} χ(n) n^{-s}$, with $χ$ a completely multiplicative function taking only unimodular values. We denote by $σ(χ)$ the infimum of those $α$ such that the Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} χ(n) n^{-s}$ can be continued meromorphically to the half-plane $\operatorname{Re} s>α$, and denote by $ζ_χ(s)$ the corresponding meromorphic function in $\operatorname{Re} s>σ(χ)$. We construct $ζ_χ(s)$ that have $σ(χ)\le 1/2$ and are universal for zero-free analytic functions on the half-critical strip $1/2<\operatorname{Re} s <1$, with zero…
We construct a large family of Fourier interpolation bases for functions analytic in a strip symmetric about the real line. Interesting examples involve the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and other $L$-functions. We establish a duality principle for Fourier interpolation bases in terms of certain kernels of general Dirichlet series with variable coefficients. Such kernels admit meromorphic continuation, with poles at a sequence dual to the sequence of frequencies of the Dirichlet series, and they satisfy a functional equation. Our construction of concrete bases relies on a stren…
