The "hybrid" moments $$ \int_T^{2T}|\zeta(1/2+it)|^k{(\int_{t-G}^{t+G}|\zeta(1/2+ix)|^\ell dx)}^m dt $$ of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $\Re s = 1/2$ are studied. The expected upper bound for the above…

It is proved that, if $k\ge2$ is a fixed integer and $1 \ll H \le X/2$, then $$ \int_{X-H}^{X+H}\Delta^4_k(x)\d x \ll_\epsilon X^\epsilon\Bigl(HX^{(2k-2)/k} + H^{(2k-3)/(2k+1)}X^{(8k-8)/(2k+1)}\Bigr), $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error…

We study the convolution function $$ C[f(x)] := \int_1^x f(y)f({x\over y}) {{\rm d} y\over y} $$ when $f(x)$ is a suitable number-theoretic error term. Asymptotics and upper bounds for $C[f(x)]$ are derived from mean square bounds for…

In order to well understand the behaviour of the Riemann zeta function inside the critical strip, we show; among other things, the Fourier expansion of the $\zeta^k(s)$ ($k \in \mathbb{N}$) in the half-plane $\Re s > 1/2$ and we deduce a…

Explicit bounds on the tails of the zeta function $\zeta$ are needed for applications, notably for integrals involving $\zeta$ on vertical lines or other paths going to infinity. Here we bound weighted $L^2$ norms of tails of $\zeta$. Two…

For integer $n\geqslant 1$ and real $u$, let $\Delta(n,u):=|\{d:d\mid n,\,{\rm e}^u<d\leqslant {\rm e}^{u+1}\}|$. The Erd\H{o}s--Hooley Delta-function is then defined by $\Delta(n):=\max_{u\in{\mathbb R}}\Delta(n,u).$ We improve a recent…

The main task of this work is to give an improvement for the upper bounds of the Laplace transform $$\int_0^{+\infty}\Bigl|\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)\Bigr|^{2\beta}e^{-\delta t}dt \ll_{\beta,\varepsilon}…

Improving earlier work of Balasubramanian, Conrey and Heath-Brown, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the mean-square of the Riemann zeta-function times an arbitrary Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{1/2 + \delta}$, with $\delta =…

A scaling and renormalization approach to the Riemann zeta function, $\zeta$, evaluated at $-1$ is presented in two ways. In the first, one takes the difference between $U_{n}:=\sum_{q=1}^{n}q$ and $4U_{\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. The asymptotic formula of the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^k(x)dx$ is established for any integer $3\leq k\leq 9$ by an unified method. Similar results are also established for…

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 Erd\H{o}s-Hooley Delta function is defined for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ as $\Delta(n)=\sup_{u\in\mathbb{R}} \#\{d|n : e^u<d\le e^{u+1}\}$. We prove that $\sum_{n\le x} \Delta(n) \ll x(\log\log x)^{11/4}$ for all $x\ge100$. This improves on…

Let $X \in \{0,\ldots,n \}$ be a random variable, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ and let \[f_X(z) = \sum_{k} \mathbb{P}(X = k) z^k, \] be its probability generating function. Pemantle conjectured that if $\sigma$ is large…

We improve unconditional estimates on $\Delta_k(x)$, the remainder term of the generalised divisor function, for large $k$. In particular, we show that $\Delta_k(x) \ll x^{1 - 1.889k^{-2/3}}$ for all sufficiently large fixed $k$.

Sums of the form $\sum_{n\le x}E^k(n) (k\in{\bf N}$ fixed) are investigated, where $$ E(T) = \int_0^T|\zeta(1/2+it)|^2 dt - T\Bigl(\log {T\over2\pi} + 2\gamma -1\Bigr)$$ is the error term in the mean square formula for $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$.…

In this note we give a short and self-contained proof that, for any $\delta > 0$, $\sum_{x \leq n \leq x+x^\delta} \lambda(n) = o(x^\delta)$ for almost all $x \in [X, 2X]$. We also sketch a proof of a generalization of such a result to…

Lindel{\"o}f's hypothesis, one of the most important open problems in the history of mathematics, states that for large $t$, Riemann's zeta function $\zeta(1/2+it)$ is of order $O(t^{\varepsilon})$ for any $\varepsilon>0$ . It is well known…

Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer. Let $\delta_k(n)$ denote the maximum divisor of $n$ which is co-prime to $k$. We study the error term of the general $m$-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function $\delta_k(n)$ for any positive integer $m \ge…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain an upper bound for the 2k-th moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ for every positive integer k. Our bounds are nearly as sharp as…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. An asymptotic formula with the error term $O(T^{53/28+\epsilon})$ is established for the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^4(x)dx.$ Similar results are also established for some…
