By studying the trace of an integral operator on a L2 space of complex
valued functions, we prove in this paper the positivity of Li's criterion. This
implies that all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function lie on the
critical lin...
Summing the curious series of Kempner and Irwin

Classical Analysis and ODEs
In 1914, Kempner proved that the series 1/1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/11 +
... + 1/18 + 1/20 + 1/21 + ... where the denominators are the positive integers
that do not contain the digit 9, converges to a sum less than 90. The actual
sum i...
On the length of lemniscates

Mathematics
Complex Variables
We show that for a monic polynomial p of degree d, the length of the level
set {z: |p(z)|=1} is at most 9.2 d, which improves an earlier estimate due to
P. Borwein. For d=2 we show that the extremal level set is the Bernoullis'
Lemniscate. ...

The equation of motion of an extended object in spacetime reduces to an
ordinary differential equation in the presence of symmetry. By properly
defining of the symmetry with notion of cohomogeneity, we discuss the method
for classifying all...

In the modular robot reconfiguration problem, we are given n cube-shaped
modules (or robots) as well as two configurations, i.e., placements of the n
modules so that their union is face-connected. The goal is to find a sequence
of moves...
n-Groupoids and Stacky Groupoids

We discuss two generalizations of Lie groupoids. One consists of Lie
n-groupoids defined as simplicial manifolds with trivial πk≥n+1.
The other consists of stacky Lie groupoids \cG\rra M with \cG a
differentiable stack. We ...

The problem of Chern-Simons-like term induction via quantum corrections in
four-dimensions is investigated in two different cases. In the first case, we
consider two distinct approaches to deal with the exact fermion propagator of

In this paper, we prove the existence of two degrees of freedom that govern
the movement of light in an expanding universe. The use of the fractal manifold
model leads to reciprocal causality between variation of geometry and gravity,
which...
