This article is a survey of our recent work on the connections between Koba–Nielsen amplitudes and local zeta functions (in the sense of Gel’fand, Weil, Igusa, Sato, Bernstein, Denef, Loeser, etc.). Our research program is motivated by the fact that the p-adic strings seem to be related in some interesting ways with ordinary strings. p-Adic string amplitudes share desired characteristics with their Archimedean counterparts, such as crossing symmetry and invariance under Möbius transformations. A direct connection between p-adic amplitudes and the Archimedean ones is through the limit p→1. Gerasimov and Shatashvili studied the limit p→1 of the p-adic effective action introduced by Brekke, Freund, Olson and Witten. They showed that this limit gives rise to a boundary string field theory, which was previously proposed by Witten in the context of background independent string theory. Explicit computations in the cases of 4 and 5 points show that the Feynman amplitudes at the tree level of the Gerasimov–Shatashvili Lagrangian are related to the limit p→1 of the p-adic Koba–Nielsen amplitudes. At a mathematical level, this phenomenon is deeply connected with the topological zeta functions introduced by Denef and Loeser. A Koba–Nielsen amplitude is just a new type of local zeta function, which can be studied using embedded resolution of singularities. In this way, one shows the existence of a meromorphic continuations for the Koba–Nielsen amplitudes as functions of the kinematic parameters. The Koba–Nielsen local zeta functions are algebraic-geometric integrals that can be defined over arbitrary local fields (for instance R, C, Qp, Fp((T))), and it is completely natural to expect connections between these objects. The limit p tends to one of the Koba–Nielsen amplitudes give rise to new amplitudes which we have called Denef–Loeser amplitudes. Throughout the article, we have emphasized the explicit calculations in the cases of 4 and 5 points.

Abstract In this article, we establish in a rigorous mathematical way that Koba-Nielsen amplitudes defined on any local field of characteristic zero are bona fide integrals that admit meromorphic continuations in the kinematic parameters. Our approach allows us to study in a uniform way open and closed Koba-Nielsen amplitudes over arbitrary local fields of characteristic zero. In the regularization process we use techniques of local zeta functions and embedded resolution of singularities. As an application we present the regularization of p-adic open string amplitudes with Chan-Paton factors and constant B-field. Finally, all the local zeta functions studied here are partition functions of certain 1D log-Coulomb gases, which shows an interesting connection between Koba-Nielsen amplitudes and statistical mechanics.

The general characteristics of planetary systems are described. Well-known heat sources of evolution are considered. A new type of heat source, variations of kinematic parameters in a dynamical system, is proposed. The inconsistency of the perovskite-post-perovskite heat model is proved. Calculations of inertia moments relative to the D boundary on the Earth are given. The 9 times difference allows us to claim that the sliding of the upper layers at the Earth's rotation speed variations emit heat by viscous friction.This heat is the basis of mantle convection and lithospheric plate tectonics.

Let$C/\mathbf{Q}$be a curve of genus three, given as a double cover of a plane conic. Such a curve is hyperelliptic over the algebraic closure of$\mathbf{Q}$, but may not have a hyperelliptic model of the usual form over$\mathbf{Q}$. We describe an algorithm that computes the local zeta functions of$C$at all odd primes of good reduction up to a prescribed bound$N$. The algorithm relies on an adaptation of the ‘accumulating remainder tree’ to matrices with entries in a quadratic field. We report on an implementation and compare its performance to previous algorithms for the ordinary hyperelliptic case.
