We present a new and simple proof of Selberg's central limit theorem, according to which $\log |\zeta(\tfrac 12 + it)|$ is approximately normally distributed with mean $0$ and variance $\tfrac 12 \log\log t$.
Helfgott proved that there exists a $\delta>0$ such that if $S$ is a symmetric generating subset of $SL(2,p)$ containing 1 then either $S^3=SL(2,p)$ or $|S^3|\geq |S|^{1+\delta}$. It is known that $\delta\geq 1/3024$. Here we show that…
It is shown that the maximum of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the interval $T^{1/2}\le t \le T$ is at least $\exp\left((1/\sqrt{2}+o(1)) \sqrt{\log T \log\log\log T/\log\log T}\right)$. Our proof uses Soundararajan's resonance method and a certain…
We investigate the relationship between the maximum of the zeta function on the 1-line and the maximal order of $S(t)$, the error term in the number of zeros up to height $t$. We show that the conjectured upper bounds on $S(t)$ along with…
It is proved that if $T$ is sufficiently large, then uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log T) / (\log_2 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant…
Several problems involving $E(T)$ and $E_2(T)$, the error terms in the mean square and mean fourth moment formula for $|\zeta(1/2+it)}$ are discussed. In particular, it is proved that $$ \int_0^T E(t)E_2(t)dt \ll_ T^{7/4}(\log…
We improve Montgomery's $\Omega$-results for $|\zeta(\sigma+it)|$ in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$ and give in particular lower bounds for the maximum of $|\zeta(\sigma+it)|$ on $\sqrt{T}\le t \le T$ that are uniform in $\sigma$. We give similar…
We give an explicit upper bound for non-principal Dirichlet $L$-functions on the line $s=1+it$. This result can be applied to improve the error in the zero-counting formulae for these functions.
Let $S(t) = \frac{1}{\pi}\Im \log\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)$. We prove an unconditional lower bound on the measure of the sets $\{t\in [T,2T] \colon S(t) \geq V\}$ for $\sqrt{\log\log T} \leq V \ll \left(\frac{\log T}{\log \log…
We show for all $1/2 \le \sigma \le 1$ and $t\ge 3$ that $\zeta(\sigma+it)| \le 76.2 t^{4.45 (1-\sigma)^{3/2}}$, where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. This significantly improves the previous bounds, where $4.45$ is replaced by…
This paper describes a method to compute lower bounds for moments of $\zeta$ and $L$-functions. The method is illustrated in the case of moments of $|\zeta(\frac 12+it)|$, where the results are new for small moments $0< k<1$.
It is established that for any finite set of positive real numbers $A$, we have $$|A/A+A| \gg \frac{|A|^{\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{26}}}{\log^{1/2}|A|}.$$
Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function. Several…
Let $\|n\|$ stand for the integer complexity of the number $n$, i.e. for the least number of $1$'s needed to write $n$ using arbitrary many additions, multiplications, and parentheses. The two-sided inequality $3\log_3 n\leq\|n\|\leq…
We prove several results on the distribution function of $\zeta(1+it)$ in the complex plane, that is the joint distribution function of $\arg\zeta(1+it)$ and $|\zeta(1+it)|$. Similar results are also given for $L(1,\chi)$ (as $\chi$ varies…
In the present paper, we show that under the Riemann hypothesis, and for fixed $h, \epsilon > 0$, the supremum of the real and the imaginary parts of $\log \zeta (1/2 + it)$ for $t \in [UT -h, UT + h]$ are in the interval $[(1-\epsilon)…
We improve on previous upper bounds for the $q$th norm of the partial sums of the Riemann zeta function on the half line when $0<q\leqslant 1$. In particular, we show that the 1-norm is bounded above by $(\log N)^{1/4}(\log\log N)^{1/4}$.
Let $Z(t):=\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)\chi^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)$ be Hardy's function, where the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ has the functional equation $\zeta(s)=\chi(s)\zeta(1-s)$. We prove that for any…
Given a non-principal Dirichlet character chi mod q, an important problem in number theory is to obtain good estimates for the size of L(1,chi). In this paper we focus on sharpening the upper bounds known for |L(1,chi)|; in particular, we…
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we provide explicit upper bounds for moduli of $S(t)$, $S_1(t)$, and $\zeta\left(1/2+\mathrm{i}t\right)$ while comparing them with recently proven unconditional ones. As a corollary we obtain a conditional…
