Zeros of Bessel functions $J_\alpha$ play an important role in physics. They are a motivation for studying zeros of exponential polynomials defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and more generally of $E$-functions. In this paper we…

Let $a=(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ be a periodic sequence, $F_a(s)$ the meromorphic continuation of $\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n/n^s$, and $N_a(\sigma_1, \sigma_2, T)$ the number of zeros of $F_a(s)$, counted with their multiplicities, in the rectangle $\sigma_1…

In this note we investigate the existence of zeros of linear twists of $L$-functions outside of the critical strip. In particular, we show that the Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,\alpha,s)$ has infinitely many zeros for $1<\sigma<1+\eta$,…

The Hardy function $Z(t)=\zeta(1/2+it)e^{i\theta(t)}$ takes real values for real $t$ and its real zeros are zeros $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $1/2+it$. After discovering the critical value of the local maximum in 1956, Lehmer formulated…

For a fixed $\theta\neq 0$, we define the twisted divisor function $$ \tau(n, \theta):=\sum_{d\mid n}d^{i\theta}\ .$$ In this article we consider the error term $\Delta(x)$ in the following asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n\leq x}^*|\tau(n,…

We prove that the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(\sigma + it)$ has no zeros in the region $\sigma \geq 1 - 1/(5.573412 \log|t|)$ for $|t|\geq 2$. This represents the largest known zero-free region within the critical strip for…

The Mordell-Tornheim zeta function and the Herglotz-Zagier function $F(x)$ are two important functions in Mathematics. By generalizing a special case of the former, namely $\Theta(z, x)$, we show that the theories of these functions are…

The least $r$-gap, $g_r(\lambda)$, of a partition $\lambda$ is the smallest part of $\lambda$ appearing less than $r$ times. In this article we introduce two new partition functions involving least $r$-gaps. We consider a bisection of a…

Let $\psi$ be a positive function defined near the origin such that $\lim_{t\to 0^{+}}\psi(t)=0$. We consider the operator \begin{equation*} T_\theta f(x) = \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0^+} \int_\varepsilon^1 e^{i\gamma(t)}f(x-t)…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$. Let $F(s)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)n^{-s}$ be the associated Dirichlet series and $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ be the truncated Dirichlet…

Hardy's theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ says that it admits infinitely many complex zeros on the line $\Re({s}) = \frac{1}{2}$. In this note, we give a simple proof of this statement which, to the best of our knowledge, is…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field and $\mathfrak{o}$ the ring of integers of $F$. We study theta functions which are Hilbert modular forms of half-integral weight for the Hilbert modular group $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathfrak{o})$. We obtain…

Given a function $f(n)$ periodic of period $q\geq 1$ and an irrational number $0<\alpha\leq 1$, Chatterjee and Gun proved that the series $F(s,f,\alpha)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{f(n)}{(n+\alpha)^s}$ has infinitely many zeros for $\sigma>1$…

We consider the problem of whether or not certain mock theta functions vanish at the roots of unity with an odd order. We prove for any such function $f(q)$ that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any odd integer $n>C$ the function…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

We study the asymptotic representation for the zeros of the deformed exponential function $\sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^\infty {\frac1{n!}{q^{n(n - 1)/2}{x^n}}} $, $q\in (0,1)$. Indeed, we obtain an asymptotic formula for these zeros: \[x_n=-…
