Basic Analysis of Regularized Series and Products

Analytic number theory and part of the spectral theory of operators (differential, pseudo-differential, elliptic, etc.) are being merged under amore general analytic theory of regularized products of certain sequences satisfying a few basic axioms. The mo

Foreword The two papers contained in this volume provide results on which a series of subsequent papers will be based, starting with [JoL 92b], [JoL 92d] and [JoL 93]. Each of the two papers contains an introduction dealing at greater length with the mathematics involved. The two papers were first submitted in 1992 for publication in J. reine angew. Math. A referee emitted the opinion: "While such generalized products are of interest, they are not of such central interest as to justify a series of long papers in expensive journals." The referee was cautious, stating that this "view is subjective", and adding that he "will leave to the judgement of the editors whether to pass on this recommendation to the authors". The recommendation, in addition not to publish "in expensive journals", urged us to publish a monograph instead. In any case, the editors took full responsibility for the opinion about the publication of our series "in expensive journals". We disagree very strongly with this opinion. In fact, one of the applications of the complex analytic properties of regularized products contained in our first paper is to a generalization of Cramer's theorem, which we prove in great generality, and which appears in Math. Annalen [JoL 92b]. The referee for Math. Ann. characterized this result as "important and basic in the field" . Our papers were written in a self­contained way, to provide a suitable background for an open­ended series. Thus we always considered the possible al
