Let $M(x)=\sum_{1\le n\le x}\mu(n)$ where $\mu$ is the M\"obius function. It is well-known that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that $M(x)=O(x^{1/2+\epsilon})$ for all $\epsilon>0$. There has been much interest and…

We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…

The purpose of this paper is to give some explicit formulas involving M\"obius functions, which may be known under the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, but unconditional in this paper. Concretely, we prove explicit formulas of partial sums…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we establish an upper bound for the sum of the M{\" o}bius function up to $x$. Our method is based on estimating the frequency with which intervals of a given length can contain an unusual number of ordinates…

We provide some upper bounds for the Mertens function ($M(n)$: the cumulative sum of the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function) by an approach of statistical mechanics, in which the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function is taken as a particular…

Let the summatory function of the M\"{o}bius function be denoted $M(x)$. We deduce in this article conditional results concerning $M(x)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal on the negative moments of the…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide explicit upper bounds for moduli of $\log{\mathcal{L}(s)}$ and $\mathcal{L}'(s)/\mathcal{L}(s)$ in the neighbourhood of the 1-line when $\mathcal{L}(s)$ are the Riemann, Dirichlet and…

We describe two new algorithms for the efficient and rigorous computation of Dirichlet L-functions and their use to verify the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis for all such L-functions associated with primitive characters of modulus…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

The validity of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) on the location of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann $\zeta$-function is directly related to the growth of the Mertens function $M(x) \,=\,\sum_{k=1}^x \mu(k)$, where $\mu(k)$ is the M\"{o}bius…

We establish a function field analogue of Mertens' formula for Euler products restricted to primes in arithmetic progressions over the polynomial ring F_q[t]. Our results are in direct correspondence with those of Languasco and Zaccagnini…

We introduce a strategy to tackle some known obstructions of current approaches to the Fourier uniformity conjecture. Assuming GRH, we then show the conjecture holds for intervals of length at least $(\log X)^{\psi(X)}$, with $\psi(X)…

The Mertens function is defined as $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, where $\mu(n)$ is the M\"obius function. The Mertens conjecture states $|M(x)/\sqrt{x}| < 1$ for $x > 1$, which was proven false in 1985 by showing $\liminf M(x)/\sqrt{x} <…

In this paper, we derive new properties of the Mertens function and discuss a likely upper bound of the absolute value of the Mertens function $\sqrt{\log{x!}}>|M(x)|$ when $x>1$. Using this likely bound we show that we have a sufficient…

We show that the sum function of the M\"{o}bius function of a Beurling number system must satisfy the asymptotic bound $M(x)=o(x)$ if it satisfies the prime number theorem and its prime distribution function arises from a monotone…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

The study of arithmetic properties of coefficients of modular forms $f(\tau) = \sum a(n)q^n$ has a rich history, including deep results regarding congruences in arithmetic progressions. Recently, work of C.-S. Radu, S. Ahlgren, B. Kim, N.…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain a lower bound within a constant factor of the conjectured asymptotic result for the second moment for primes in an individual arithmetic progression in short intervals. Previous results…

Kannan Soundararajan recently obtained a new estimate, conditional to the Riemann hypothesis, for the summatory function of the Mobius function. In this expository article we describe his method, with detailed computations.

Let $f : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ be a bounded multiplicative function. Let $a$ be a fixed integer (say $a = 1$). Then $f$ is well-distributed on the progression $n \equiv a \pmod{q} \subset \{1,\dots, X\}$, for almost all primes…
