Fast Computing Formulas for some Dirichlet L-Series

Abstract

For $χ_k$ a self$-$dual primitive Dirichlet character mod $k$ several reduced identities of Dirichlet $L-$functions $L_k(s):=L(s,χ_k)$, expressed as linear combinations of Hurwitz $ζ$ functions, are found for $s=2,3$ and some selected values of $k$. By using a merged approach between the Wilf$-$Zeilberger method and a Dougall$'$s $_5H_5$ technique, new proven accelerated series of hypergeometric$-$type are derived for specific Hurwitz $ζ$ function values. These fast series that are computed by means of the binary splitting algorithm, enter into the reduced identities found producing very efficient formulas to compute selected $L-$function values. The new algorithms include $L_k(2)$ for $k = -4$ Catalan's constant, $-7, -8, -15, -20, -24$ together with $L_k(3)$ for $k = 1$ Apery's constant, $5, 8$ and $12$. Formulas were tested and verified up to 100 million decimal places for each $L-$value.

Transfer operator for the Gauss' continued fraction map. I. Structure of the eigenvalues and trace formulas

Let L be the transfer operator associated with the Gauss' continued fraction map, known also as the Gauss-Kuzmin-Wirsing operator, acting on the Banach space. In this work we prove a two-term asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of L, show their algebraic simplicity, sign alternation pattern, and decrease in absolute value. This settles, in a stronger form, the conjectures of D. Mayer and G. Roepstorff (1988), A.J. MacLeod (1992), Ph. Flajolet and B. Vallee (1995), also supported by several other authors. Further, we find an exact series for the eigenvalues, which also gives the canonical decomposition of trace formulas due to D. Mayer (1976) and K.I. Babenko (1978). This crystallizes the contribution of each individual eigenvalue in the trace formulas.

Arithmetic Sparsity and Obstructions in Weighted Projective Spaces

Let $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ be a weighted projective space with weights $\mathbf{q} = (q_0, \dots, q_n)$, $q = \operatorname{lcm}(q_i)$, and let $ϕ\colon \mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}} \to \mathbb{P}^n$, $[x_i] \mapsto [x_i^{q/q_i}]$, be the Veronese morphism. A point of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{Q})$ is the image of a rational point of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ only if its valuation vector at every prime satisfies a Kummer congruence. We count the rational points of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ of bounded weighted height $\mathfrak{h} = H(ϕ(\,\cdot\,))^{1/q}$ and prove that, on the locus where all coordinates are nonzero, $$ Z^{\circ}_{\mathfrak{h}}\big( \mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}(\mathbb{Q}), X \big) = X^{q\,a(\mathbf{q})} P_{\mathbf{q}}(\log X) + O\big( X^{q\,a(\mathbf{q}) - θ} \big), \qquad θ> 0, $$ with $P_{\mathbf{q}}$ of exact degree $β(\mathbf{q})$, where $a(\mathbf{q})$ and $β(\mathbf{q})$ are the value and the dimension of the optimal face of a linear program determined by the Kummer congruences. The exponent satisfies $Q \leq q\,a(\mathbf{q}) \leq q(n+1)$, $Q = \sum q_i$, with equality on the right if and only if the exponents $q/q_i$ are pairwise coprime; the difference $q(n+1) - q\,a(\mathbf{q})$ measures the sparsity of the rational points of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ relative to those of its Veronese image. The leading constant is evaluated when the dual optimum is diagonal and for the weights $(2,2,3,3)$. The full counting function follows by stratification, and we formulate the conjecture over an arbitrary number field.
