In this article, we prove that an asymptotic formula for the prime number race with respect to Fermat curves of prime degree is equivalent to part of the Deep Riemann Hypothesis (DRH), which is a conjecture on the convergence of partial…
In 1975, Lieb and Thirring derived a semiclassical lower bound on the kinetic energy for fermions, which agrees with the Thomas-Fermi approximation up to a constant factor. Whenever the optimal constant in their bound coincides with the…
Series acceleration formulas are obtained for Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients. Special cases include Ramanujan's formula for the values of the Riemann zeta function at the odd positive integers exceeding two, and related…
In 1737 Leonard Euler gave what we often now think of as a new proof, based on infinite series, of Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Our short paper uses a simple modification of Euler's argument to obtain new…
We build on a recent paper on Fourier expansions for the Riemann zeta function. We establish Fourier expansions for certain $L$-functions, and offer series representations involving the Whittaker function $W_{\gamma,\mu}(z)$ for the…
Derivatives with respect to the parameters of the integral Mittag-Leffler function and the integral Wright function, recently introduced by us, are calculated. These derivatives can be expressed in the form of infinite sums of quotients of…

The partial fraction expansion of coth($\pi$z), due to Euler, is generalized to power series having for coefficients the Riemann zeta function evaluated at certain arithmetic sequences. A further generalization using arbitrary Dirichlet…
Assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, we prove a sharp upper bound on moments of shifted Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this to obtain conditional upper bounds on high moments of theta functions. Both of these results strengthen…
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we introduce the constants $\zeta_k(\alpha,r,q)$ where $\alpha \in (0,1)$ and study them along the lines of work done on Euler constant in arithmetic progression $\gamma(r,q)$ by Briggs,…
In 1874, Mertens proved the approximate formula for partial Euler product for Riemann zeta function at $s=1$, which is called Mertens' theorem. In this paper, we generalize Mertens' theorem for Selberg class and show the prime number…
In 1845, Bertrand conjectured that twice any prime strictly exceeds the next prime. Tchebichef proved Bertrand's postulate in 1850. In 1934, Ishikawa proved a stronger result: the sum of any two consecutive primes strictly exceeds the next…
We study properties of recently introduced Wieferich primes for Drinfeld modules, as their relation with Fermat equations and finitess or non-finiteness of their number. We also introduce Mersenne numbers for Drinfeld modules, and study the…
A 1976 result from Norton may be used to give an asymptotic (but not explicit) description of the constant in Mertens' second theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we give an effective…
We give the converse to Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions by generalizing an old result of Guinand.
We estimate the sum of products or quotients of $L$-functions, where the sum is taken over all quadratic extensions of given genus over a fixed global function field. Our estimate for the sum of the quotient of two $L$-functions is…
We present an elementary inductive proof which Euler could have obtained, for the corresponding result as the title indicates, had he refined a bit his proof for Fermat's assertion on representing primes as two squares.
An alternative form of Fermats equation[1] is proposed. It represents a portion of the identity that includes three terms of Fermats original equation. This alternative form permits an elementary and compact proof of the first case of…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish…
This paper provides a proof of a LLT-like test for Fermat numbers, based on the properties of Lucas Sequences and on the method of Lehmer.
