Analytic Number Theory

The evolution of the state of many systems modeled by linear partial diﬁerentialequations (PDEs) or linear delay-diﬁerential equations can be described by operatorsemigroups. The state of such a system is an element in an inﬂnite-dimensionalnormed space, whence the name \inﬂnite-dimensional linear system".The study of operator semigroups is a mature area of functional analysis, which isstill very active. The study of observation and control operators for such semigroupsis relatively more recent. These operators are needed to model the interactionof a system with the surrounding world via outputs or inputs. The main topicsof interest about observation and control operators are admissibility, observability,controllability, stabilizability and detectability. Observation and control operatorsare an essential ingredient of well-posed linear systems (or more generally systemnodes). Inthisbookwedealonlywithadmissibility, observabilityandcontrollability.We deal only with operator semigroups acting on Hilbert spaces.This book is meant to be an elementary introduction into the topics mentionedabove. By \elementary" we mean that we assume no prior knowledge of ﬂnite-dimensional control theory, and no prior knowledge of operator semigroups or ofunbounded operators. We introduce everything needed from these areas. We doassume that the reader has a basic understanding of bounded operators on Hilbertspaces, diﬁerential equations, Fourier and Laplace transforms, distributions andSobolev spaces on

C*-Algebras and Finite-Dimensional Approximations

THE criticism on the passage quoted from p. 3 of the book by Profs. Harkness and Morley (NATURE, February 23, p. 347) turns on the fact that, in dealing with number divorced from measurement, the authors have used the phrase “an infinity of objects” without an explicit statement of its meaning. I am not sure that I understand the passage in their letter which refers to this point; but it seems to me to imply that the distinction between “finite” and “infinite” is one which does not require definition. This is not the only accepted view. It is not, for instance, the view taken in Herr Dedekind's book, “Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen.” As regards the opening sentences of Chapter xv., the authors have apparently misunderstood the point of my objection. With the usually received definition of convergence of an infinite product, Π(1-αn), if convergent, is different from zero. So far as the passage quoted goes, Π(1-αn) might be zero; and it is therefore not shown to be convergent, if the usual definition of convergence be assumed. As to the passage quoted from p. 232, I must express to the authors my regret for having overlooked the fact that the particular rearrangement, there made use of, has been fully justified in Chapter viii. Whether Log x is or is not, at the beginning of Chapter iv., defined by means of a string and a cone, will be obvious to any one who will read the whole passage (p. 46, line 16, to p. 47, line 9) leading up to the definition.

On the greatest prime factor of $n^2+1$

In Iwaniec-Sarnak [IS] the percentages of nonvanishing of central values of families of GL_2 automorphic L-functions was investigated. In this paper we examine the distribution of zeros which are at or neat s=1/2 (that is the central point) for such families of L-functions. Unlike [IS], most of the results in this paper are conditional, depending on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). It is by no means obvious, but on the other hand not surprising, that this allows us to obtain sharper results on nonvanishing.

having Euler products and compatible functional equations with the aim of estimating the coefficients a n . It was shown in [2], [3] by different techniques that if the analytic continuation and the functional equations hold for sufficiently many characters then a suitable upper bound for a n is true which is considerably better than that resulting from the absolute convergence of the series. In this installment we combine both techniques to give new results and improve on those of [3] when A(s, X) has an Euler product of degree 3.
