A novel method of computing the volume of hyperspheres in finite and infinite dimensions
Abstract
In the present article, the volume of the hypersphere in n-dimensional euclidean space is recalculated in a rather original way by using the theory of generalized functions (tempered distributions). The calculation is performed by applying the integral representation of the Heaviside unit step function and furthermore by using the distributional Fourier transform of general power-law functions. The same method (added by a regularization procedure of the occurring infinite-dimensional integral via the Riemann-zeta function) is applied in the case of infinite dimensions giving rise to some sort of anti-measure of spheres in the Hilbert space of square-summable complex sequences.
