We investigate the distribution of the zeros of the Euler's function and its integral and fractional derivatives.
We give an algorithm for choosing a distinguished defining polynomial for a p-adic field extension. This algorithm formed an important ingredient in the recent expansion of the database of p-adic fields within the L-functions and modular forms database.
We improve the database of $p$-adic fields in the LMFDB by systematically using Krasner-Monge polynomials and working relatively as well as absolutely. These improvements organize $p$-adic fields into families. They thereby make long lists of fields more manageable and various theoretical structures more evident. In particular, the database now includes all degree $n$ extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, for $p<200$ and $n \leq 23$.
The main aim of this paper is twofold. First we generalize, in a novel way, most of the known non-vanishing results for the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function by establishing the existence of an infinite sequence of regions in the right half-plane where these derivatives cannot have any zeros; and then, in the rare regions of the complex plane that do contain zeros of the k-th derivative of the zeta function, we describe a unexpected phenomenon, which implies great regularities in their zero distributions. In particular, we prove sharp estimates for the number of zeros in each of these new critical strips, and we explain how they converge, in a very precise, periodic fashion, to their central, critical lines, as k increases. This not only shows that the zeros are not randomly scattered to the right of the line Re(s)=1, but that, in many respects, their two-dimensional distribution eventually becomes much simpler and more predictable than the one-dimensional behavior of the zeros of the zeta function on the line Re(s)=1/2.
The goal of this note is to improve on the currently available bounds for Stieltjes constants using the method of steepest descent applied by Coffey and Knessl to approximate Stieltjes constants.
We investigate the behavior of fractional derivatives of polynomials. In particular, we consider the locations and the asymptotic behaviour of their zeros and give bounds for their Mahler measure.
We give an algorithm that constructs a minimal set of polynomials defining all extension of a $(π)$-adic field with given, inertia degree, ramification index, discriminant, ramification polygon, and residual polynomials of the segments of the ramification polygon.
We present an algorithm for computing the 2-group of the positive divisor classes of a number field F in case F has exceptional dyadic places. As an application, we compute the 2-rank of the wild kernel WK2(F) in K2(F) for such number fields.
We present an algorithm for computing the 2-group of narrow logarithmic divisor classes of degree 0 for number fields F. As an application, we compute in some cases the 2-rank of the wild kernel WK2(F).
We present an algorithm for the computation of logarithmic l-class groups of number fields. Our principal motivation is the effective determination of the l-rank of the wild kernel in the K-theory of number fields.
