Fractional Calculus, Langevin Equation and Quaternions
Sadataka Furui Download Presentation Watch VideoZeta Functions: From Riemann to Feynman
Tigran Ishkhanyan, Jayanta Phadikar Download Presentation Watch VideoZeta functions (such as the Riemann zeta and multiple zeta values (MZVs)), together with harmonic numbers and (multiple/generalized) polylogarithms are the native language of many difficult problems, from Euler sums in analytic number theory and nested sums in combinatorics to differential equation methods for multiscale Feynman integrals (iterated integrals and Fuchsian systems). We introduce a coherent family of symbols—AlternatingHarmonicNumber, HyperHarmonicNumber, MultipleHarmonicNumber, MultipleZeta, HarmonicPolyLog, MultiplePolyLog and GeneralizedPolyLog (GPL)—with exact evaluation and high-precision numerics, shuffle/stuffle-aware simplification, branch-aware transformations and deep integration with Sum, RSolve, Integrate and DSolve. These capabilities enable users to: (i) collapse high-weight Euler sums to canonical MZV combinations; (ii) normalize mixed products of harmonic numbers/logs/polylogs for downstream Sum/Integrate; (iii) solve regular and perturbative Fuchsian systems directly in terms of GPLs; and (iv) verify results via one-line high-precision checks. The talk will open with an informal historical overview of zeta functions and then present a unified interface for Euler sums, harmonic number/polylog transforms, iterated integrals and Fuchsian systems.
