Some problems involving the classical Hardy function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it)\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s) $$ are discussed. In particular we discuss the odd moments of $Z(t)$, the distribution of its…
Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, $\zeta(s)$, at the point $s=\frac{1}{2}+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we present two proofs of the bound $$ |S(t)| \leq \left(\tfrac{1}{4} + o(1) \right)\tfrac{\log…
Let $S(t) = \tfrac{1}{\pi} \arg \zeta (\frac12 + it)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\tfrac12 + it$. For $n \geq 1$ and $t>0$ define its iterates \begin{equation*} S_n(t) = \int_0^t S_{n-1}(\tau) \,{\rm d}\tau\,…
We prove the leading order of a conjecture by Fyodorov, Hiary and Keating, about the maximum of the Riemann zeta function on random intervals along the critical line. More precisely, as $T \rightarrow \infty$ for a set of $t \in [T, 2T]$ of…
An overview of results and problems concerning the asymptotic formula for $\int_0^T|\zeta(1/2+it)|^4dt$ is given, together with a discussion of modern methods from spectral theory used in recent work on this subject.
We look at upper bounds for the count of certain primes related to the Fermat numbers $F_n=2^{2^n}+1$ called elite primes. We first note an oversight in a result of Krizek, Luca and Somer and give the corrected, slightly weaker upper bound.…
We prove that if $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number of degree $d \geq 2$ which is not a root of unity, then $dh(\alpha)>(1/4) (\log(\log (d))/\log(d))^3.
In this article, we show that $$ \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)…
Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/2\pi)$ with $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) +…
We give upper and lower bounds for the number of solutions of the equation $p(z)\log|z|+q(z)=0$ with polynomials $p$ and $q$.
Several results are obtained concerning multiplicities of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. They include upper bounds for multiplicities, showing that zeros with large multiplicities have to lie to the left of the line $\sigma…
A tight upper bound is given on the distribution of the maximum of a supermartingale. Specifically, it is shown that if $Y$ is a semimartingale with initial value zero and quadratic variation process $[Y,Y]$ such that $Y + [Y,Y]$ is a…
In this paper, we use the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(x)$ and the Bessel zeta function $\zeta_{\mu}(x)$ to study the log-behavior of combinatorial sequences. We prove that $\zeta(x)$ is log-convex for $x>1$. As a consequence, we deduce…
We apply the resonance method to Montgomery's convolution formula for $\textrm{Re}\left(e^{-i\theta}\log\zeta(\sigma+it)\right)$ in the strip $1/2 < \sigma < 1$. This gives new insight into maximal values of…
In this work, we determine a sharp upper bound on the orthogonality defect of HKZ reduced bases up to dimension $3$. Using this result, we determine a general upper bound for the orthogonality defect of HKZ reduced bases of arbitrary rank.…
We give explicit upper and lower bounds for $N(T,\chi)$, the number of zeros of a Dirichlet $L$-function with character $\chi$ and height at most $T$. Suppose that $\chi$ has conductor $q>1$, and that $T\geq 5/7$. If…
For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…
We study the horizontal distribution of zeros of $\zeta'(s)$ which are denoted as $\rho'=\beta'+i\gamma'$. We assume the Riemann hypothesis which implies $\beta'\geqslant1/2$ for any non-real zero $\rho'$, equality being possible only at a…
An explicit hybrid estimate for $L(1/2+it,\chi)$ is derived, where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character modulo $q$. The estimate applies when $t$ is bounded away from zero, and is most effective when $q$ is powerfull, yielding an explicit Weyl…
We prove new bounds for how often Dirichlet polynomials can take large values. This gives improved estimates for a Dirichlet polynomial of length $N$ taking values of size close to $N^{3/4}$, which is the critical situation for several…
