    Algebraic theta functions and p-adic interpolation of Eisenstein-Kronecker numbers

    Full text link
    We study the properties of Eisenstein-Kronecker numbers, which are related to special values of Hecke LL-function of imaginary quadratic fields. We prove that the generating function of these numbers is a reduced (normalized or canonical in some literature) theta function associated to the Poincare bundle of an elliptic curve. We introduce general methods to study the algebraic and pp-adic properties of reduced theta functions for CM abelian varieties. As a corollary, when the prime pp is ordinary, we give a new construction of the two-variable pp-adic measure interpolating special values of Hecke LL-functions of imaginary quadratic fields, originally constructed by Manin-Vishik and Katz. Our method via theta functions also gives insight for the case when pp is supersingular. The method of this paper will be used in subsequent papers to study the precise pp-divisibility of critical values of Hecke LL-functions associated to Hecke characters of quadratic imaginary fields for supersingular pp, as well as explicit calculation in two-variables of the pp-adic elliptic polylogarithm for CM elliptic curves.Comment: 55 pages, 2 figures.

    Precise variational tunneling rates for anharmonic oscillator with g<0

    Full text link
    We systematically improve the recent variational calculation of the imaginary part of the ground state energy of the quartic anharmonic oscillator. The results are extremely accurate as demonstrated by deriving, from the calculated imaginary part, all perturbation coefficients via a dispersion relation and reproducing the exact values with a relative error of less than 10−510^{-5}. A comparison is also made with results of a Schr\"{o}dinger calculation based on the complex rotation method.Comment: PostScrip
