Abstract

The need to evaluate Logarithmic integrals is ubiquitous in essentially all quantitative areas including mathematical sciences, physical sciences. Some recent developments in Physics namely Feynman diagrams deals with the evaluation of complicated integrals involving logarithmic functions. This work deals with a systematic review of logarithmic integrals starting from Malmsten integrals to classical collection of Integrals, Series and Products by I. S. Gradshteyn and I. M. Ryzhik [1] to recent times. The evaluation of these types of integrals involves higher transcendental functions (i.e., Hurwitz Zeta function, Polylogarithms, Lerch Transcendental, Orthogonal Polynomials, PolyGamma functions). In a more general sense the following types of integrals are considered for this work: \begin{align*} \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \ln{\{g(x)\}} \ dx \end{align*} with $a \in R^{+}$ , $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ both either rational/trigonometric or both type of functions.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
