<p>Disertacija se bavi sumiranjem redova sa specijalnim funkcijama. Ovi redovi se posredstvom trigonometrijskih redova svode na redove sa Riemannovom zeta funkci&shy;jom i srodnim funkcijama. U određenim slučajevima sumacione formule se mogu dovesti na takozvani zatvoreni oblik, &scaron;to znači da se beskonačni redovi predstavljaju konačnim sumama. Predloženi metodi sumacije omogućavaju ubrzanje konvergencije, a mogu se primeniti i kod nekih graničnih problema matematičke fizike. Sumacione formule uključuju kao specijalne slučajeve neke formule poznate iz literature, ali i nove sume, s obzirom da su op&scaron;teg karaktera. Pomoću ovih formula sumirani su i redovi sa integralima trigonometrijskih i specijalnih funkcija.</p> / <p>This dissertation deals with the summation of series over special functions. Through<br />trigonometric series these series are reduced to series in terms of Riemann zeta and<br />related functions. They can be brought in closed form in some cases, i.e. infinite<br />series are expressed as finite sums. Closed form formulas make it possible to accele&shy;<br />rate the convergence of some series, and have many applications in various scientific<br />fields as well. For example, closed form solutions of the boundary value problem in<br />mathematical physics can be obtained. Summation formulas include particular cases<br />known from the literature, but because of their general character one can come to<br />new sums. By means of these formul&aacute;is the sums of series over integrals containing<br />trigonometric or special functions have been found.</p>

In this dissertation, we study the flows on R3 associated with a nonlinear system differential equation introduced by Clark Robinson in [46]. The periodic orbits are modeled by a semi-flow on the L(−1,−1) template. It is known that these are positive knots, but need not have positive braid presentations. Here we prove that they are fibered. We investigate their linking and we construct a zeta-function that counts periodic orbits according to their twisting. This extends work by M. Sullivan in [55], and [57].

The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem is an important result in the study of linear transformations over finite dimensional vector spaces. In this thesis, we show that the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem can be extended to self-adjoint trace-class operators and to closed self-adjoint operators with trace-class resolvent over a separable Hilbert space. Applications of these results include calculating operators resolvents and finding the inverse of a frame operator.

<p>Arising from permutation representations of finite groups, Brauer-Kuroda relations are relations between Dedekind zeta functions of certain intermediate fields of a Galois extension of number fields. Let E be a totally real number field and let n ≥ 2 be an even integer. Taking s = 1 − n in the Brauer-Kuroda relations then gives a correspondence between orders of certain motivic and Galois cohomology groups. Following the works of Voevodsky and Wiles (cf. [33], [36]), we show that these relations give a direct relation on the motivic cohomology groups, allowing one to easily compute the higher class numbers, the orders of these motivic cohomology groups, of fields of high degree over Q from the corresponding values of its subfields. This simplifies the process by restricting the computations to those of fields of much smaller degree, which we are able to compute through Sage ([30]). We illustrate this with several extensive examples.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

Nous exprimons la mesure de Mahler 2-supérieure et 3-supérieure de certaines fonctions rationnelles en terme de valeurs spéciales de la fonction zêta, de fonctions L et de polylogarithmes multiples. Les résultats obtenus sont une généralisation de ceux obtenus dans [10] pour la mesure de Mahler classique. On améliore un de ces résultats en réduisant une combinaison linéaire de polylogarithmes multiples en termes de valeurs spéciales de fonctions L. On termine avec la réduction complète d’un cas particuler. / The 2-higher and 3-higher Mahler measure of some rational functions are given in terms of special values of the Riemann zeta function, a Dirichlet L-function and multiple polylogarithms. Our results generalize those obtained in [10] for the classical Mahler measure. We improve one of our results by providing a reduction for a certain linear combination of multiple polylogarithms in terms of Dirichlet L-functions. We conclude by giving a complete reduction of a special case.

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le prolongement du résultat d'Apéry donnant l'irrationalité de ζ (3) et de celui de Ball-Rivoal prouvant qu'il existe une infinité d'entiers impairs en lesquels la fonction zêta de Riemann prend des valeurs irrationnelles. Un outil crucial dans la démonstration de Ball-Rivoal est le critère d'indépendance linéaire de Nesterenko, qui a été généralisé par Fischler et Zudilin pour exploiter sous des hypothèses très restrictives la présence de diviseurs communs aux coefficients des formes linéaires. Une généralisation ultérieure due à Fischler s'applique lorsqu'on dispose d'approximations simultanées des nombres réels en question (et non plus de combinaisons Z-linéaires petites de ces nombres).Dans cette thèse, on améliore ce dernier résultat en affaiblissant considérablement les hypothèses sur les diviseurs. On démontre aussi un critère d'indépendance linéaire analogue, dans l'esprit de celui de Siegel. Dans une autre partie en commun avec Zudilin, on construit, en utilisant des identités hypergéométriques, des approximations simultanées de ζ (2) et ζ (3) qui permettent de démontrer en même temps l'irrationalité de ces deux nombres. En appliquant essentiellement le critère démontré précédemment, on en déduit une minoration des combinaisons Z-linéaires de 1, ζ 2) et ζ (3), sous des hypothèses de divisibilité très fortes sur les coefficients (si bien que l'indépendance linéaire sur Q de ces trois nombres est toujours conjecturale). / This Ph.D. thesis lies in the path opened by Apéry who proved the irrationality of ζ(3) andalready followed by Ball-Rivoal who proved that there are infinitely many odd integers at which Riemann zeta function takes irrational values. A fundamental tool in the proof of Ball-Rivoal is Nesterenko’s linear independence criterion. This criterion has been generalized by Fischler and Zudilin to use common divisors of the coefficients of linear forms, under some restrictive assumptions. Then Fischler gave another generalization for simultaneous approximations (instead of small Z-linear combinations).In this Ph.D. thesis, we improve this last result by greatly weakening the assumption on thedivisors. We prove also an analogous linear independence criterion in the spirit of Siegel. Inanother part joint with Zudilin, we construct simultaneous linear approximations to ζ(2) and ζ(3) using hypergeometric identitites. These linear approximations allow one to prove at thesame time the irrationality of ζ(2) and that of ζ(3). Then, using a criterion from the previouspart, we deduce a lower bound on Z-linear combinations of 1, ζ(2) and ζ(3), under somestrong divisibility hypotheses on the coefficients (so that the Q-linear independence of thesethree numbers still remains an open problem).

Com base em uma caracterização ao simples, os polinômios de Bernoulli são introduzidos e, posteriormente, os números de Bernoulli. As séries de Fourier dos polinomios de Bernoulli são utilizadas na demonstração da equação funcional da função teta. Esta equação, por sua vez, é utilizada na demonstração da celebre equação funcional da função zeta, que tem importância central na teoria da distribuição dos números primos. Além das conexões com a funções especiais zeta e teta, discutimos também, em detalhe,conexões entre os números e os polinomios de Bernoulli com a função gama. Essas relações são então exploradas para produzir belas fórmulas para certos valores da função zeta, entre outras aplicações. / In this work we study Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials, as well as some of its most important applications in Number Theory. Based on a simple characterization, the Bernoulli polynomials are introduced and, later, the Bernoulli numbers. The Fourier series of the Bernoulli polynomials are used to demonstrate the functional equation of the theta function. This equation, in turn, is used in the proof of the famous functional equation of the zeta function, which is central to the theory of prime number distribution. In addition to the connections with the special functions zeta and theta, we also discuss, in detail, connections between the Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials with the gamma function. These relations are then explored to produce beautiful formulas for certain values of the zeta function,among other applications.

Em Teoria Analítica de Números, a expressão \"Fórmula Explícita\" se refere a uma igualdade entre, por um lado, uma soma de alguma função aritmética feita sobre todos os primos e, por outro lado, uma soma envol- vendo os zeros não triviais da função zeta de Riemann. Essa igualdade não é habitual em Teoria Analítica de Números, que trata principalmente de aproximações assintóticas de funções aritméticas e não de fórmulas exatas. A expressão se originou do trabalho seminal de Riemann, de 1859, onde aparece uma expressão exata para a função (x), que conta o número de primos que não excedem x. A prova do Teorema dos Números Primos, de Hadamard, também se baseia numa fórmula explícita de (x) (função de Tschebycheff). Mais recentemente, o trabalho de André Weil reforçou o inte- resse em compreender-se melhor a natureza de tais fórmulas. Neste trabalho, apresentaremos a fórmula explícita de Riemann-von Mangoldt, a de Delsarte e um caso particular da fórmula explícita de Weil. / In the field of Analytic Theory of Numbers, the expression \"Explicit For- mula\" refers to an equality between, on one hand, the sum of some arithmetic function over all primes and, on the other, a sum over the non-trivial zeros of Riemann s zeta function. This equality is not common in the analytic theory of numbers, that deals mainly with asymptotic approximations of arithmetic functions, and not of exact formulas. The expression originated of Riemann s seminal work, of 1859, in which we see an exact expression for the function (x), that counts the number of primes that do not exceed x. The proof of the Prime Number Theorem, by Hadamard, is also based on an explicit formula of (x) (Tschebycheff s function). More recently, the work of André Weil increased the interest in better comprehending the nature of such formulas. In this work, we shall present the Riemann-von Mangoldt formula, Delsarte s explicit formula, and one particular case of Weil s explicit formula.
