This paper studies combinations of the Riemann zeta function, based on one defined by P.R. Taylor, which was shown by him to have all its zeros on the critical line. With a rescaled complex argument, this is denoted here by ${\cal T}_-(s)$,…

In order to study the analytic properties of the Goldbach generating function we consider a smooth version, similar to the Chebyshev function for the Prime Number Theorem. In this paper, we obtain explicit numerical estimates for the…

$\tau$-Li coefficients describe if a function satisfies the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis or not. In this paper we prove that certain values of the $\tau$-Li coefficients lead to existence or non-existence of certain zeros. The first main…

This article contains work associated with a resolution of the Riemann hypothesis, following work by Taylor \cite{prt}, Lagarias and Suzuki \cite{lagandsuz} and Ki \cite{ki}, as well as Pustyl'nikov \cite{pust, pust2} and Keiper…

The positivity of the sum from the title is the first condition in the well-known criterium for the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis suggested by X.-J. Li. In the paper this value is represented as an infinite sum with positive summands.

In this note we give a short and self-contained proof that, for any $\delta > 0$, $\sum_{x \leq n \leq x+x^\delta} \lambda(n) = o(x^\delta)$ for almost all $x \in [X, 2X]$. We also sketch a proof of a generalization of such a result to…

For any real number $s$, let $\sigma_s$ be the generalized divisor function, i.e., the arithmetic function defined by $\sigma_s(n) := \sum_{d \, \mid \, n} d^s$, for all positive integers $n$. We prove that for any $r > 1$ the topological…

In this note we prove a general version of the Extrapolation Theorem, extending the classical linear extrapolation theorem due to B. Maurey. Our result shows, in particular, that the operators involved do not need to be linear.

Recently, by the Riordan's identity related to tree enumerations, \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}(k+1)!(n+1)^{n-k} &=& (n+1)^{n+1}, \end{eqnarray*} Sun and Xu derived another analogous one, \begin{eqnarray*}…

We construct new continued fraction expansions of Jacobi-type J-fractions in $z$ whose power series expansions generate the ratio of the $q$-Pochhamer symbols, $(a; q)_n / (b; q)_n$, for all integers $n \geq 0$ and where $a,b,q \in…

In this work we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a genus $0$ entire function $f(z)$ has only positive zeros by applying Hausdorff moment problem and Mergelyan's theorem, the obtained criterion is very much reminiscent of…

In this note we define a generalization of Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions using formal group law and give an elementary proof of the generating function formula for the generalized Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. We also give some…

Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…

The location of zeros of the basic double sum over the square lattice is studied. This sum can be represented in terms of the product of the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet beta function, so that the assertion that all its…

Asymptotic expansions for generalised trigonometric integrals are obtained in terms of elementary functions, which are valid for large values of the parameter $a$ and unbounded complex values of the argument. These follow from new…

Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…

Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…

Chebyshev famously observed empirically that more often than not, there are more primes of the form $3 \bmod 4$ up to $x$ than of the form $1 \bmod 4$. This was confirmed theoretically much later by Rubinstein and Sarnak in a logarithmic…

A discussion involving the evaluation of the sum $\sum_{0<\gamma\le T} |\zeta(1/2+i\gamma)|^2$ is presented, where $\gamma$ denotes imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Three theorems involving certain…

Let $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and $(r_G(n) = \sum_{m_1 + m_2 = n} \Lambda(m_1) \Lambda(m_2))$ be the counting function for the Goldbach numbers. Let $N \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that $$\begin{align} &\sum_{n \le N} r_G(n)…
