The list of zeta functions typically refers to various mathematical functions that generalize the classical Riemann zeta function. These functions have applications in number theory, mathematical physics, and other areas of mathematics.
Multiple zeta function
The multiple zeta function is a generalization of the classical Riemann zeta function, which plays a significant role in number theory and mathematical analysis. The classical Riemann zeta function is defined for complex numbers \( s \) with real part greater than 1 as: \[ \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}. \] The multiple zeta function extends this idea to multiple variables.

A tensor is a mathematical object that generalizes scalars, vectors, and matrices to higher dimensions. Tensors are used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and machine learning to represent data and relationships in a structured manner. ### Basic Definitions: 1. **Scalar**: A tensor of rank 0, which is a single number (e.g., temperature, mass).
Virial theorem
The virial theorem is a powerful result in classical mechanics and astrophysics, particularly useful for systems of particles bound by forces, such as stars in a galaxy or gas molecules in a container. It relates the average total kinetic energy of a system to its average total potential energy.
