Families of weighted sum formulas for multiple zeta values
Euler's sum formula and its multi-variable and weighted generalizations form
a large class of the identities of multiple zeta values. In this paper we prove
a family of identities involving Bernoulli numbers and apply them to obtain
infinitely many weighted sum formulas for double zeta values and triple zeta
values where the weight coefficients are given by symmetric polynomials. We
give a general conjecture in arbitrary depth at the end of the paper.Comment: The conjecture at the end is reformulate
Weighted sums with two parameters of multiple zeta values and their formulas
A typical formula of multiple zeta values is the sum formula which expresses
a Riemann zeta value as a sum of all multiple zeta values of fixed weight and
depth. Recently weighted sum formulas, which are weighted analogues of the sum
formula, have been studied by many people. In this paper, we give two formulas
of weighted sums with two parameters of multiple zeta values. As applications
of the formulas, we find some linear combinations of multiple zeta values which
can be expressed as polynomials of usual zeta values with coeffcients in the
rational polynomial ring generated by the two parameters, and obtain some
identities for weighted sums of multiple zeta values of small depths.Comment: 14 page
Spectral analysis and zeta determinant on the deformed spheres
We consider a class of singular Riemannian manifolds, the deformed spheres
, defined as the classical spheres with a one parameter family of
singular Riemannian structures, that reduces for to the classical metric.
After giving explicit formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the
metric Laplacian , we study the associated zeta functions
. We introduce a general method to deal with some
classes of simple and double abstract zeta functions, generalizing the ones
appearing in . An application of this method allows to
obtain the main zeta invariants for these zeta functions in all dimensions, and
in particular and . We give
explicit formulas for the zeta regularized determinant in the low dimensional
cases, , thus generalizing a result of Dowker \cite{Dow1}, and we
compute the first coefficients in the expansion of these determinants in powers
of the deformation parameter .Comment: 1 figur
Daily Physical Activities and Sports in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer and Healthy Controls: A Population-Based Questionnaire Survey
BACKGROUND: Healthy lifestyle including sufficient physical activity may mitigate or prevent adverse long-term effects of childhood cancer. We described daily physical activities and sports in childhood cancer survivors and controls, and assessed determinants of both activity patterns.
METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study is a questionnaire survey including all children diagnosed with cancer 1976-2003 at age 0-15 years, registered in the Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry, who survived ≥5 years and reached adulthood (≥20 years). Controls came from the population-based Swiss Health Survey. We compared the two populations and determined risk factors for both outcomes in separate multivariable logistic regression models. The sample included 1058 survivors and 5593 controls (response rates 78% and 66%). Sufficient daily physical activities were reported by 52% (n = 521) of survivors and 37% (n = 2069) of controls (p<0.001). In contrast, 62% (n = 640) of survivors and 65% (n = 3635) of controls reported engaging in sports (p = 0.067). Risk factors for insufficient daily activities in both populations were: older age (OR for ≥35 years: 1.5, 95CI 1.2-2.0), female gender (OR 1.6, 95CI 1.3-1.9), French/Italian Speaking (OR 1.4, 95CI 1.1-1.7), and higher education (OR for university education: 2.0, 95CI 1.5-2.6). Risk factors for no sports were: being a survivor (OR 1.3, 95CI 1.1-1.6), older age (OR for ≥35 years: 1.4, 95CI 1.1-1.8), migration background (OR 1.5, 95CI 1.3-1.8), French/Italian speaking (OR 1.4, 95CI 1.2-1.7), lower education (OR for compulsory schooling only: 1.6, 95CI 1.2-2.2), being married (OR 1.7, 95CI 1.5-2.0), having children (OR 1.3, 95CI 1.4-1.9), obesity (OR 2.4, 95CI 1.7-3.3), and smoking (OR 1.7, 95CI 1.5-2.1). Type of diagnosis was only associated with sports.
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Physical activity levels in survivors were lower than recommended, but comparable to controls and mainly determined by socio-demographic and cultural factors. Strategies to improve physical activity levels could be similar as for the general population

Measurement of forward production in collisions at TeV
A measurement of the cross-section for production in collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of fb collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of TeV. The electrons are required to have more than GeV of transverse momentum and to lie between 2.00 and 4.25 in pseudorapidity. The inclusive production cross-sections, where the decays to , are measured to be \begin{align*} \begin{split} \sigma_{W^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}}&=1124.4\pm 2.1\pm 21.5\pm 11.2\pm 13.0\,\mathrm{pb},\\ \sigma_{W^{-} \to e^{-}\bar{\nu}_{e}}&=\,\,\,809.0\pm 1.9\pm 18.1\pm\,\,\,7.0\pm \phantom{0}9.4\,\mathrm{pb}, \end{split} \end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, the third are due to the knowledge of the LHC beam energy and the fourth are due to the luminosity determination. Differential cross-sections as a function of the electron pseudorapidity are measured. The cross-section ratio and production charge asymmetry are also reported.
