In order to study the analytic properties of the Goldbach generating function we consider a smooth version, similar to the Chebyshev function for the Prime Number Theorem. In this paper, we obtain explicit numerical estimates for the…

Hooley conjectured that the variance V(x;q) of the distribution of primes up to x in the arithmetic progressions modulo q is asymptotically x log q, in some unspecified range of q\leq x. On average over 1\leq q \leq Q, this conjecture is…

Recently, we have established the generalized Li's criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, viz. demonstrated that the sums over all non-trivial Riemann function zeroes k_n,a=Sum_rho(1-(1-((rho-a)/(rho+a-1))^n) for any real a not…

We compute the variances of sums in arithmetic progressions of arithmetic functions associated with certain $L$-functions of degree two and higher in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, in the limit as $q\to\infty$. This is achieved by establishing…

Summation arithmetic functions of Mertens and Liouville are investigated in the paper. It is proved that the limiting distribution of these functions is the normal. It is also shown that the estimating of standard deviation of these…

Let $\mu$ be the M\"{o}bius function and let $k \geq 1$. We prove that the Gowers $U^k$-norm of $\mu$ restricted to progressions $\{n \leq X: n\equiv a_q\pmod{q}\}$ is $o(1)$ on average over $q\leq X^{1/2-\sigma}$ for any $\sigma > 0$,…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

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…

Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling-Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of…

We give an estimate for sums appearing in the Nyman-Beurling criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis containing the M\"obius function. The estimate is remarkably sharp in comparison to estimates of other sums containing the M\"obius function.…

We derive explicit upper bounds for various functions counting primes in arithmetic progressions. By way of example, if $q$ and $a$ are integers with $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $3 \leq q \leq 10^5$, and $\theta(x;q,a)$ denotes the sum of the…
