We study a generalized Dedekind sum $S_{\chi_1,\chi_2}(a,c)$ attached to newform Eisenstein series $E_{\chi_1,\chi_2}(z,s)$. Our work shows the Dedekind sum is rarely substantially larger than $\log^3 c$. The method of proof first relates…

In this paper we discuss a method to express the Prime counting function as a "sum" over Non-trivial zeros of Riemann Zeta function, using techniques from Analytic Number Theory, also we apply our results to the sum over primes of any…

We obtain new bounds, pointwisely and on average, for Dedekind sums $\mathsf{s}(\lambda,p)$ modulo a prime $p$ with $\lambda$ of small multiplicative order $d$ modulo $p$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes, the range of our results…

Robin's Inequality posits $G(n)<e^{\gamma}$ for $n>5040$. Robin also showed that if the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is false, then $G(n)>e^{\gamma}\left(1+\displaystyle\frac{c}{(\log n)^{b}}\right)$ for infinitely many values of $n$. By…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain an upper bound for the moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Our bound is nearly as sharp as the conjectured asymptotic formulae for these moments. The method extends to moments…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain upper and lower bounds for moments of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the extreme values between its zeros on the critical line. Our bounds are very nearly the same order of magnitude. The…

Let $\vfi$ be Euler's function, $\ga$ be Euler's constant and $N_k$ be the product of the first $k$ primes. In this article, we consider the function $c(n) =(n/\vfi(n)-e^\ga\log\log n)\sqrt{\log n}$. Under Riemann's hypothesis, it is proved…

In a previous it was shown that the Dedkind sums $12s(m,n)$ and $12s(x,n)$, $1\le m,x\le n$, $(m,n)=(x,n)=1$, are equal mod $\Z$ if, and only if, $(x-m)(xm-1)\equiv 0$ mod $n$. Here we determine the cardinality of numbers $x$ in the above…

The Cram\'er-Granville conjecture is an upper bound on prime gaps, $g_n = p_{n+1} - p_n < \cCramer \, \log^2 p_n$ for some constant $\cCramer \geq 1$. Using a formula of Selberg, we first prove the weaker summed version: $\sum_{n=1}^N g_n <…

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality sum_{d|n}d<e^{gamma}n loglog n is satisfied for n>=5041, where gamma denotes the Euler(-Mascheroni) constant. We show by elementary methods…

We use a method, first developed for the Riemann zeta-function by Masser in ["Rational values of the Riemann zeta function", Journ. Num. Th. 131 (2011), 2037-2046], to prove a new zero estimate for polynomials in z and 1/Gamma(z). This…

We exhibit a class of "relatively curved" $\vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t))$, so that the pertaining multi-linear maximal function satisfies the sharp range of H\"{o}lder exponents, \[ \left\| \sup_{r > 0} \ \frac{1}{r}…

We investigate the number $R_3(n)$ of representations of $n$ as the sum plus the product of three positive integers. On average, $R_3(n)$ is $\frac{1}{2}\log^2 n$. We give an upper bound for $R_3(n)$ and an upper bound for the number of $n…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A number $n$ is said to be 2-near perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2n +d_1 +d_2 $, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are distinct positive divisors of $n$. We give a complete description of those $n$…

The integer $d=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{b_i}$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $b_i \mid a_i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,...,s\}$. Let $\tau^{(e)}(n)$ denote the number of exponential divisors of $n$, where…

Let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. Assuming a suitably uniform version of the prime $k$-tuples conjecture, we show that the number \begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\omega(n)}{2^n} \end{align*} is…

In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of Riemann's hypothesis, dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. We use the functional equation $\zeta(s) = 2^{s}\pi^{s-1}\sin{(\displaystyle \pi…

We consider the periods of the linear congruential and the power generators modulo $n$ and, for fixed choices of initial parameters, give lower bounds that hold for ``most'' $n$ when $n$ ranges over three different sets: the set of primes,…

The Dedekind eta function $\eta(\tau)$ is defined by \[\eta(\tau)=e^{\pi i\tau/12}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-e^{2\pi i n\tau}\right),\quad\text{when}\;\text{Im}\,\tau>0.\] It plays an important role in number theory, especially in the…

In this article, we show that $$ \left| N (T) - \frac{T}{ 2 \pi} \log \left( \frac{T}{2\pi e}\right) \right| \le 0.1038 \log T + 0.2573 \log\log T + 9.3675 $$ where $N(T)$ denotes the number of non-trivial zeros $\rho$, with $0<\Im(\rho)…
