Admissibility of Hörmander--Bernhardsson extremal zeros

Khai-Hoan Nguyen-Dang

TL;DR

We treat the zeros $\{\pm\tau_n\}$ of the Hörmander--Bernhardsson extremal function through the Quine--Heydari--Song framework. By deriving an analytic normal form $\lambda_n=\tau_n^2=(n+\tfrac12)^2+q((n+\tfrac12)^{-2})$, we obtain a full polyhomogeneous heat trace expansion for $\theta(t)=\sum e^{-\tau_n^2 t}$, establishing that $\lambda_n$ is QHS-admissible and enabling meromorphic continuation of the spectral zeta $Z(s)$ and the canonical product $W(\lambda)$. A parity dichotomy shows that even powers $\tau_n^{2p}$ preserve admissibility, while odd powers introduce a nonzero $t\log t$ term, signaling a log-polyhomogeneous obstruction; this leads to a robust perturbation criterion and explains observed residues and special values in Dirichlet-type series $L_+(s)$. Leveraging the HB inversion symmetry, the paper proves Conjecture 1 of BOCRS and connects the small-$t$ heat coefficients to zeta-regularized quantities, with implications for one-dimensional spectral problems and canonical-product asymptotics. The results provide a comprehensive zeta-analytic framework for HB-type spectra and offer a practical criterion for analytic perturbations of quadratic lattices.

Abstract

Let $\varphi$ be the Hörmander--Bernhardsson extremal function, and let $(\pmτ_n)_{n\ge1}$ be its real zeros. Using the recent analytic description of the zero set ${τ_n}$, we prove that the squared zeros $λ_n=τ_n^{2}$ form an admissible sequence in the sense of Quine--Heydari--Song: the heat trace $Θ(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}e^{-λ_n t}$ has a full $t\to0^{+}$ expansion in pure powers of $t^{1/2}$. The proof is based on an analytic normal form \[ λ_n=\Bigl(n+\tfrac12\Bigr)^2+q!\Bigl(\Bigl(n+\tfrac12\Bigr)^{-2}\Bigr), \] a uniform Taylor expansion in $t$, and a Mellin--Hurwitz zeta analysis of the resulting weighted Gaussian sums. As applications we obtain meromorphic continuation and special-value information for the associated spectral zeta function and zeta-regularized product, sharp large-parameter asymptotics for the canonical product $\prod_{n}(1+z/λ_n)$. In particular, we deduce the conjecture by Bondarenko--Ortega-Cerdà--Radchenko--Seip for the special values of the Dirichlet-type series attached to $\varphi$. We also establish a parity dichotomy: sequences $(τ_n^m)$ are QHS--admissible for even $m$, while for odd $m$ a nonzero $t\log t$ term obstructs admissibility.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

The heat trace $\theta(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}e^{-\tau_n^2 t}$ admits a full small--time asymptotic expansion as $t\to0^+$ in pure half--integer powers: Consequently, $(\tau_n^2)_{n\ge1}$ is admissible in the sense of QHS.
