Let $-1/2<a<0$ be a fixed real number and \begin{equation*} \Delta_{a}(x)=\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n\leq x} \sigma_a(n)-\zeta(1-a)x-\frac{\zeta(1+a)}{1+a}x^{1+a}+\frac{1}{2}\zeta(-a). \end{equation*} In this paper, we investigate the…

We study the distribution functions of several classical error terms in analytic number theory, focusing on the remainder term in the Dirichlet divisor problem $\Delta(x)$. We first bound the discrepancy between the distribution function of…

Conditionally on the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain bounds of the correct order of magnitude for the 2k-th moment of the Riemann zeta-function for all positive real k < 2.181. This provides for the first time an upper bound of the correct…

We improve existing estimates of moments of the Riemann zeta function. As a consequence, we are able to derive new estimates for the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{N \alpha \le x} \mathfrak{t}_k(\alpha)$, where $N$ stands for the norm of a…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

Let $\Delta_1(x;\phi)$ be the error term of the first Riesz means of the Rankin-Selberg zeta function. We study the higher power moments of $\Delta_1(x;\phi)$ and derive an asymptotic formula for 3-rd, 4-th and 5-th power moments by using…

In this note, we provide an explicit upper bound for $h_K \mathcal{R}_K d_K^{-1/2}$ which depends on an effective constant in the error term of the Ideal Theorem.

Suppose $a$ and $b$ are two fixed positive integers such that $(a,b)=1.$ In this paper we shall establish an asymptotic formula for the mean square of the error term $\Delta_{a,b}(x)$ of the general two-dimensional divisor problem.

We establish a smoothed asymptotic formula for the third moment of quadratic {D}irichlet $L$-functions at the central value. In addition to the main term, which is known, we prove the existence of a secondary term of size $x^{\frac{3}{4}}$.…

Let $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. Define \begin{equation*} \mathcal{S}_{k}(x)=\sum_{\substack{1\leqslant n_1,n_2,n_3 \leqslant x^{1/2} \\ 1\leqslant n_4\leqslant x^{1/k} }} d(n_1^2+n_2^2+n_3^2+n_4^k), \qquad 3\leqslant k\in…

We study the problem of obtaining asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$ and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$, where $\Lambda$ is the von Mangoldt function, $d_k$ is the $k^{\operatorname{th}}$…

We study the third moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions, obtaining an error term of size $O(X^{3/4 + \varepsilon})$.

Additive divisor sums play a prominent role in the theory of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. There is a long history of determining sharp asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution sum of the ordinary divisor function. In…

Some results and conjectures on $Z_2(s) = \int_1^\infty |\zeta(1/2+ix)|^4x^{-s}dx (\Re s > 1)$ are presented. Consequences of these conjectures regarding the eighth moment of $|\zeta(1/2+it)$ and the error term in the fourth moment of…

We prove that the number of quartic fields $K$ with discriminant $|\Delta_K|\leq X$ whose Galois closure is $D_4$ equals $CX+O(X^{5/8+\varepsilon})$, improving the error term in a well-known result of Cohen, Diaz y Diaz, and Olivier. We…

Given a set of integers $A$ and an integer $k$, write $A+k\cdot A$ for the set $\{a+kb:a\in A,b\in A\}$. Hanson and Petridis showed that if $|A+A|\le K|A|$ then $|A+2\cdot A|\le K^{2.95}|A|$. At a presentation of this result, Petridis…

It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…
