Borwein and Simon Plouffe June 25, 1996 Ref: Mathematical Intelligencer, vol. 19, no. 1 (Jan. 1997), pg. 50–57 Abstract This article gives a brief history of the analysis and computation of the mathematical constant π =3.14159 ..., including a number of the formulas that have been used to compute π through the ages. Recent developments in this area are then discussed in some detail, including the recent computation of π to over six billion decimal digits using high-order convergent algorithms, and a newly discovered scheme that permits arbitrary individual hexadecimal digits of π to be computed.

    AN ANALYTIC VERSION OF THE LANGLANDS CORRESPONDENCE FOR COMPLEX CURVES PAVEL ETINGOF, EDWARD FRENKEL, AND DAVID KAZHDAN In memory of Boris Dubrovin Abstract. The Langlands correspondence for complex curves is traditionally for- mulated in terms of sheaves rather than functions. Recently, Langlands asked whether it is possible to construct a function-theoretic version. In this paper we use the algebra of commuting global differential operators (quantum Hitchin Hamilto- nians and their complex conjugates) on the moduli space of G-bundles of a complex algebraic curve to formulate a function-theoretic correspondence. We conjecture the existence of a canonical self-adjoint extension of the symmetric part of this al- gebra acting on an appropriate Hilbert space and link its spectrum with the set of opers for the Langlands dual group of G satisfying a certain reality condition, as predicted earlier by Teschner. We prove this conjecture for G = GL1 and in the simplest non-abelian case. Contents 1. Introduction 2 Part I 8 2. Differential operators on line bundles 8 3. Differential operators on BunG 11 4.

    CONNES’ INTEGRATION AND WEYL’S LAWS RAPHAEL¨ PONGE Abstract. This paper deal with some questions regarding the notion of integral in the frame- work of Connes’s noncommutative geometry. First, we present a purely spectral theoretic con- struction of Connes’ integral. This answers a question of Alain Connes. We also deal with the compatibility of Dixmier traces with Lebesgue’s integral. This answers another question of Alain Connes. We further clarify the relationship of Connes’ integration with Weyl’s laws for compact operators and Birman-Solomyak’s perturbation theory. We also give a ”soft proof” of Birman-Solomyak’s Weyl’s law for negative order pseudodifferential operators on closed mani- fold. This Weyl’s law yields a stronger form of Connes’ trace theorem. Finally, we explain the relationship between Connes’ integral and semiclassical Weyl’s law for Schr¨odinger operators. This is an easy consequence of the Birman-Schwinger principle. We thus get a neat link between noncommutative geometry and semiclassical analysis. 1. Introduction The quantized calculus of Connes [18] aims at translating the main tools of the classical infin- itesimal calculus into the operator theoretic language of quantum mechanics. As an Ansatz the integral in this setup should be a positive trace on the weak trace class L1,∞ (see Section 2). Natural choices are given by the traces Trω of Dixmier [23] (see also [18, 34] and Section 2). These traces are associated with extended limits. Following Connes [18] we say that an operator A L is measurable when the value of Tr (A) is independent of the extended limit.

    WEYL'S LAW ON RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS SETH MUSSER Abstract. We motivate Weyl's law by demonstrating the relevance of the distribution of eigenvalues of the Laplacian to the ultraviolet catastrophe of physics. We then introduce Riemannian geometry, define the Laplacian on a general Riemannian manifold, and find geometric analogs of various concepts in Rn, along the way using S2 as a clarifying example. Finally, we use analogy with Rn and the results we have built up to prove Weyl's law, making sure at each step to demonstrate the physical significance of any major ideas. Contents 1.

The Role of Weyl's Law in the Ultraviolet Catastrophe In the year 1900 Lord Rayleigh used the equipartition theorem of thermodynamics to de- duce the famous Rayleigh-Jeans law of radiation. Rayleigh began with an idealized physical concept of the blackbody; a body which is a perfect absorber of electromagnetic radiation and which radiates all the energy it absorbs independent of spatial direction. We sketch his proof to find the amount of radiation energy emitted by the blackbody at a given frequency. Take a blackbody in the shape of a cube for definiteness, and assume it is made of con- ducting material and is at a temperature T . We will denote the cube by D = [0;L]3 ⊆ R3. Inside this cube we have electromagnetic radiation that obeys Maxwell's equations bouncing around. The equipartition theorem of thermodynamics says that every wave which has con- stant spatial structure with oscillating amplitude, i.e.

  • Scalar Curvature for Noncommutative Four-Tori
    SCALAR CURVATURE FOR NONCOMMUTATIVE FOUR-TORI FARZAD FATHIZADEH AND MASOUD KHALKHALI Abstract. In this paper we study the curved geometry of noncommutative 4 4-tori Tθ. We use a Weyl conformal factor to perturb the standard volume form and obtain the Laplacian that encodes the local geometric information. We use Connes' pseudodifferential calculus to explicitly compute the terms in the small time heat kernel expansion of the perturbed Laplacian which corre- 4 spond to the volume and scalar curvature of Tθ. We establish the analogue of Weyl's law, define a noncommutative residue, prove the analogue of Connes' trace theorem, and find explicit formulas for the local functions that describe 4 the scalar curvature of Tθ. We also study the analogue of the Einstein-Hilbert action for these spaces and show that metrics with constant scalar curvature are critical for this action. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

  • Location and Weyl Formula for the Eigenvalues of Some Non Self-Adjoint Operators
    Location and Weyl formula for the eigenvalues of some non self-adjoint operators Vesselin Petkov Abstract We present a survey of some recent results concerning the location and the Weyl formula for the complex eigenvalues of two non self-adjoint operators. We study the eigenvalues of the generator G of the contraction semigroup etG, t ≥ 0, related to the wave equation in an unbounded domain Ω with dissipative boundary conditions on ∂Ω. Also one examines the interior transmission eigenvalues (ITE) in a bounded domain K obtaining a Weyl formula with remainder for the counting function N(r) of complex (ITE). The analysis is based on a semi-classical approach. 1 Introduction ∞ Let P(x,Dx) be a second order differential operator with C (K) real-valued coef- d ficients in a bounded domain K ⊂ R , d ≥ 2, with C∞ boundary ∂K. Consider a boundary problem ( P(x,D )u = f in K, x (1.1) B(x,Dx)u = g on ∂K, where B(x,Dx) is a differential operator with order less or equal to 1 and the princi- 2 pal symbol P(x,ξ) of P(x,Dx) satisfies p(x,ξ) ≥ c0|ξ| , c0 > 0. Assume that there exists 0 < ϕ < π such that the problem ( (P(x,D ) − z)u = f in K, x (1.2) B(x,Dx)u = g on ∂K. is parameter-elliptic for every z ∈ Γψ = {z : argz = ψ}, 0 < |ψ| ≤ ϕ. Then following a classical result of Agranovich-Vishik [1] we can find a closed operator A with Vesselin Petkov Institut de Mathematiques´ de Bordeaux, 351, Cours de la Liberation,´ 33405 Talence, France , e- mail: [email protected] 1 2 Vesselin Petkov domain D(A) ⊂ H2(K) related to the problem (1.1).

A major goal of mathematical models and analysis in biology is to provide insight into the complexities arising from the non-linearity and hierarchical nature of biological systems. The primary goals of NIMBioS are to foster the maturation of cross-disciplinary approaches in mathematical biology and to assist in the development of a cadre of researchers who are capable of conceiving and engaging in creative and collaborative connections across disciplines to address fundamental and applied biological questions.
