The main purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic property of one class of number-theoretic functions and give a sharp hybrid mean-value formula by using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, Gauss sums and the mean-value theorems of Dirichlet$L$-functions.

Given a domain Ω⊂ℂ^{$n$}, the Lempert function is a functional on the space $\text{Hol}(\mathbb{D},\Omega)$ of analytic disks with values in Ω, depending on a set of poles in Ω. We generalize its definition to the case where poles have multiplicities given by local indicators (in the sense of Rashkovskii) to obtain a function which still dominates the corresponding Green function, behaves relatively well under limits, and is monotonic with respect to the local indicators. In particular, this is an improvement over the previous generalization used by the same authors to find an example of a set of poles in the bidisk so that the (usual) Green and Lempert functions differ.

String theory contains solutions with SL(2,R)_R x U(1)_L-invariant warped AdS3 (WAdS3) factors arising as continuous deformations of ordinary AdS3 factors. We propose that some of these are holographically dual to the IR limits of nonlocal dipole-deformed 2D D-brane gauge theories, referred to as "dipole CFTs". Neither the bulk nor boundary theories are currently well-understood, and consequences of the proposed duality for both sides is investigated. The bulk entropy-area law suggests that dipole CFTs have (at large N) a high-energy density of states which does not depend on the deformation parameter. Putting the boundary theory on a spatial circle leads to closed timelike curves in the bulk, suggesting a relation of the latter to dipole-type nonlocality.
