This note proves that the first odd zeta value does not have a closed form formula $\zeta(3)\ne r \pi^3$ for any rational number $r \in \mathbb{Q}$. Furthermore, assuming the irrationality of the second odd zeta value $\zeta(5)$, it is…
Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…
We introduce and study "elliptic zeta values", a two-parameter deformation of the values of Riemann's zeta function at positive integers. They are essentially Taylor coefficients of the logarithm of the elliptic gamma function, and share…
H. Weyl proved in \cite{Weyl} that integer evaluations of polynomials are equidistributed mod 1 whenever at least one of the non-free coefficients is irrational. We use Weyl's result to prove a higher dimensional analogue of this fact.…
The main result of this paper is that for any $1/2 \leq s < 2 - \sqrt{2} \approx 0.5858$, there is a number $\sigma = \sigma(s) < s$ with the following property. Let $\delta > 0$ be small, assume that $A \subset [0,1]$ is a…
For odd $N\geq 5$, we establish a short exact sequence about motivic double zeta values $\zeta^{\mathfrak{m}}(r,N-r)$ with $r\geq3$ odd, $N-r\geq2$. From this we classify all the relations among depth-graded motivic double zeta values…
We prove that the integer part of the reciprocal of the tail of $\zeta(s)$ at a rational number $s=\frac{1}{p}$ for any integer with $p \geq 5$ or $s=\frac{2}{p}$ for any odd integer with $p \geq 5$ can be described essentially as the…
We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the…
We combine our version of the resonance method with certain convolution formulas for $\zeta(s)$ and $\log\, \zeta(s)$. This leads to a new $\Omega$ result for $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$: The maximum of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the interval $1 \le t \le…
We show that if an essentially arbitrary sequence supported on an interval containing $x$ integers, is convolved with a tiny Siegel-Walfisz-type sequence supported on an interval containing $\exp((\log x)^{\varepsilon})$ integers then the…
We solve a long standing problem in the theory of Siegel's $E$-functions, initiated by Lang for Bessel's function $J_0$ in the 60's and considered in full generality by G. Chudnovsky in the 80's: we prove that irrational values taken at…
We study a subtle inequity in the distribution of unnormalized differences between imaginary parts of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We establish a precise measure which explains the phenomenon, that the location of each Riemann zero…
We compute the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function weighted by $|\zeta(\frac12+it)|^{2k}$ for $k=1$ and, for test functions with Fourier support in $(-\frac12,\frac12)$, for $k=2$. As a consequence, for…
The purpose of the present paper is to reveal the relation between the behavior of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function $\log{\zeta(s)}$ and the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. We already know some examples for the…
For most values of parameters $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, the zeros of the Lerch zeta-function $L(\lambda, \alpha, s)$ are distributed very chaotically. In this paper we consider the special case of equal parameters $L(\lambda, \lambda, s)$ and…
We provide explicit upper bounds of the order $\log t/\log\log t$ for $|\zeta'(s)/\zeta(s)|$ and $|1/\zeta(s)|$ when $\sigma$ is close to $1$. These improve existing bounds for $\zeta(s)$ on the $1$-line.
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) = -…
We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…
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…
Sorokin gave in 1996 a new proof that pi is transcendental. It is based on a simultaneous Pad\'e approximation problem involving certain multiple polylogarithms, which evaluated at the point 1 are multiple zeta values equal to powers of pi.…
