Gonek, Graham, and Lee have shown recently that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) can be reformulated in terms of certain asymptotic estimates for twisted sums with von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$. Building on their ideas, for each…

Let pi(x) denote the number of primes smaller or equal to x. We compare sqrt{pi}(x) with sqrt{R}(x) and sqrt{li}(x), where R(x) and li(x) are the Riemann function and the logarithmic integral, respectively. We show a regularity in the…

We establish upper bounds for the joint moments of the $2k^{\text{th}}$ power of the Riemann zeta function with the $2h^{\text{th}}$ power of its derivative for $0 \leq h \leq 1$ and $1 \leq k \leq 2$. These bounds are expected to be sharp…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $s=\tfrac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we give a new and simple proof of the sharpest known bound for $S(t)$. We discuss a generalization of this bound…

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 verify numerically, in a rigorous way using interval arithmetic, that the Riemann hypothesis is true up to height $3\cdot10^{12}$. That is, all zeroes $\beta + i\gamma$ of the Riemann zeta-function with $0<\gamma\leq 3\cdot 10^{12}$ have…

In this article, we provide explicit bounds for the prime counting function $\theta(x)$ in all ranges of $x$. The bounds for the error term for $\theta (x)- x$ are of the shape $\epsilon x$ and $\frac{c_k x}{(\log x)^k}$, for…

In this paper we use a theorem first proved by S.W.Golomb and a famous inequality by J.B. Rosser and L.Schoenfeld in order to prove that there exists an exact formula for $\pi(n)$ which holds infinitely often.

We consider partial sums of a weighted Steinhaus random multiplicative function and view this as a model for the Riemann zeta function. We give a description of the tails and high moments of this object. Using these we determine the likely…

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality sum_{d|n}d<e^{gamma}n loglog n is satisfied for n>=5041, where gamma denotes the Euler(-Mascheroni) constant. We show by elementary methods…

We improve the lower bound for $V(T)$, the number of sign changes of the error term $\psi(x)-x$ in the Prime Number Theorem in the interval $[1,T]$ for large $T$. We show that \[ \liminf_{T\to\infty}\frac{V(T)}{\log…

We present the results of numerical experiments in connection with the Riesz and Hardy-Littlewood criteria for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). The coefficients c_k of the Pochammer's expansion for the reciprocal of the Riemann…

Let $\Theta$ denote the supremum of the real parts of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We demonstrate that $\Theta=1$, which entails the existence of infinitely many Riemann zeros off the critical line (thus disproving the Riemann…

Using the Riemann Hypothesis over finite fields and bounds for the size of spherical codes, we give explicit upper bounds, of polynomial size with respect to the size of the field, for the number of geometric isomorphism classes of…

We introduce a strategy to tackle some known obstructions of current approaches to the Fourier uniformity conjecture. Assuming GRH, we then show the conjecture holds for intervals of length at least $(\log X)^{\psi(X)}$, with $\psi(X)…

We analyze algorithms for computing the $n$th prime $p_n$ and establish asymptotic bounds for several approaches. Using existing results on the complexity of evaluating the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$, we show that the binary search…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of all primes and $\psi(n)=n\prod_{n\in \mathcal{P},p|n}(1+1/p)$ be the Dedekind psi function. We show that the Riemann hypothesis is satisfied if and only if $f(n)=\psi(n)/n-e^{\gamma} \log \log n <0$ for all…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain an upper bound for the moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Our bound is nearly as sharp as the conjectured asymptotic formulae for these moments. The method extends to moments…

We introduce the weighted prime sum $S(x) = \sum_{p \le x} \sqrt{(\log p)/p}$ and the derived quantity $E(x) = S(x)^2 - M(x)$, where $M(x) = \sum_{p \le x} (\log p)/p$. We prove that the order-of-magnitude estimate $S(x) \asymp \sqrt{x /…
