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…
The "hybrid" moments $$ \int_T^{2T}|\zeta(1/2+it)|^k{(\int_{t-G}^{t+G}|\zeta(1/2+ix)|^\ell dx)}^m dt $$ of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $\Re s = 1/2$ are studied. The expected upper bound for the above…
We improve the lower bound on worst case trace reconstruction from $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{5/4}}{\sqrt{\log n}}\right)$ to $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{3/2}}{\log^{7} n}\right)$. As a consequence, we improve the lower bound on average case trace…
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) +…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the shifted moments of the zeta function \[ M_{\alpha,{\beta}}(T) = \int_T^{2T} \prod_{k = 1}^m |\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2} + i (t + \alpha_k))|^{2 \beta_k} dt \] introduced by Chandee, where…
For a fixed integer $k\ge 3$ and fixed $1/2 < \sigma > 1$ we consider $$ \int_1^T |\zeta(\sigma + it)|^{2k}dt = \sum_{n=1}^\infty d_k^2(n)n^{-2\sigma}T + R(k,\sigma;T), $$ where $R(k,\sigma;T) = o(T) (T\to\infty)$ is the error term in the…
In this paper, we prove $\text{ex}(n, C_{2k})\le (16\sqrt{5}\sqrt{k\log k} + o(1))\cdot n^{1+1/k}$. We improved on Bukh--Jiang's method used in their 2017 publication, thereby reducing the best known upper bound by a factor of $\sqrt{5\log…
A new method is proposed to derive rigorous bounds on {\eta}, the growth rate of the logarithm of the number of independent sets on a hexagonal lattice. Specifically, we prove that 1.546440708536001 <= {\eta} <= 1.5513, which improves upon…
A real number is called simply normal to base $b$ if its base-$b$ expansion has each digit appearing with average frequency tending to $1/b$. In this article, we discover a relation between the frequency that the digit $1$ appears in the…
We give an improved lower bound for the average of the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley function $\Delta(n)$, namely $\sum_{n\le x} \Delta(n) \gg_\varepsilon x(\log\log x)^{1+\eta-\varepsilon}$ for all $x\geqslant100$ and any fixed $\varepsilon$, where…
Y\i ld\i r\i m obtained an asymptotic formula of the discrete moment of $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|$ over the zero of the higher derivatives of Hardy's $Z$-function. We give a generalization of his result on Hardy's $Z$-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…
We establish new inequalities involving classical exponents of Diophantine approximation. This allows for improving on the work of Davenport, Schmidt and Laurent concerning the maximum value of the exponent $\hat{\lambda}_{n}(\zeta)$ among…
We consider the zeta function $\zeta\_\Omega$ for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of a simply connected planar domain $\Omega$ bounded by a smooth closed curve.We prove non-negativeness and growth properties for…
Given a set of integers $A$ and an integer $k$, write $A+k\cdot A$ for the set $\{a+kb:a\in A,b\in A\}$. Hanson and Petridis showed that if $|A+A|\le K|A|$ then $|A+2\cdot A|\le K^{2.95}|A|$. At a presentation of this result, Petridis…
We present improved upper and lower bounds on the spanning ratio of $\theta$-graphs with at least six cones. Given a set of points in the plane, a $\theta$-graph partitions the plane around each vertex into $m$ disjoint cones, each having…
This paper improves the upper bound for the exceptional zeroes of Dirichlet L-functions with even characters. The result is obtained by improving on explicit estimate for $L'(\sigma;\chi)$ for $\sigma$ close to unity, using a result on the…
We consider the sum $\sum 1/\gamma$, where $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval $(0,T]$, and consider the behaviour of the sum as $T \to\infty$. We show that, after subtracting a…
In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…
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…
