In 1914, Hardy proved that there are infinitely many non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line Re$(s)=1/2$ using the Jacobi theta relation. In this paper, we first establish a number field analogue of…

For an entire function $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k,$ $a_k >0,$ we define the sequence of the second quotients of Taylor coefficients $Q := \left( \frac{a_k^2}{a_{k-1}a_{k+1}} \right)_{k=1}^\infty$. We find new necessary conditions for…

It is shown how sums of squares of real valued functions can be used to give new proofs of the reality of the zeros of the Bessel functions $J_\alpha (z)$ when $\alpha \ge -1,$ confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_0F_1(c\/; z)$ when $c>0$…

There exists a well-known relation between the zeros of sine function, Bernoulli numbers and the Riemann Zeta function. In the present paper, we find a similar relation for zeros of q-sine function. We introduce a new q-extension of the…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, where $q=p^r$ is a power of the prime $p$, and $\left(\beta_1, \beta_2, \dots, \beta_r \right)$ be an ordered basis of ${\mathbb F}_q$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$. For…

There exists an absolute constant $\delta > 0$ such that for all $q$ and all subsets $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ of the finite field with $q$ elements, if $|A| > q^{2/3 - \delta}$, then \[ |(A-A)(A-A)| = |\{ (a -b) (c-d) : a,b,c,d \in A\}| >…

We compute the special values of partial zeta function at $s=0$ for family of real quadratic fields $K_n$ and ray class ideals $\fb_n$ such that $\fb_n^{-1} = [1,\delta(n)]$ where the continued fraction expansion of $\delta(n)$ is purely…

In this paper we consider the polynomial sequence $(P_{n}^{\alpha,q}(x))$ that is orthogonal on $[-1,1]$ with respect to the weight function $x^{2q+1}(1-x^{2})^{\alpha}(1-x), \alpha>-1, q\in \mathbb N$; we obtain the coefficients of the…

We present combinatorial and analytical results concerning a Sheffer sequence with a generating function of the form $G(x,z)=Q(z)^{x}Q(-z)^{1-x}$, where $Q$ is a quadratic polynomial with real zeros. By using the properties of Riordan…

We study certain algebras of theta-like functions on partitions, for which the corresponding generating functions give rise to theta functions, quasi-Jacobi forms, Appell-Lerch sums, and false theta functions.

We show that if $A$ is a finite set of non-negative integers then the number of zeros of the function \[ f_A(\theta) = \sum_{a \in A} \cos(a\theta), \] in $[0,2\pi]$, is at least $(\log \log \log |A|)^{1/2-\varepsilon}$. This gives the…

We investigate reciprocals of false theta functions, producing results such as congruences, simple asymptotic bounds, and combinatorial identities. Of particular interest is a connection between $1/\Psi(-q^2,q)$ and the truncated pentagonal…

Let $\lambda =\left( \lambda_{1},\lambda_{2},...,\lambda_{r}\right) $ be an integer partition, and $\left[p_{\lambda }\right] $ the $q$-analog of the symmetric power function $%p_{\lambda }$. This $q$-analogue has been defined as a special…

The properties of several functions are employed to investigate the zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(a+bi)$ $(0<a<1, b\neq 0)$. If the zeros of the zeta function have not the form $\frac{1}{2}+ib$ where $i=\sqrt{-1}$, we derive a…

False theta functions closely resemble ordinary theta functions, however they do not have the modular transformation properties that theta functions have. In this paper, we find modular completions for false theta functions, which among…

We introduce a q-analogue of the classical Zeta polynomial of finite partially ordered sets, as a polynomial in one variable x with coefficients depending on the indeterminate q. We prove some properties of this polynomial invariant,…

Let $\mathcal{L}(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n n^{-s}$ be an $L$-function in the Selberg class, and $q_{\mathcal{L}}$ its conductor. Let $\ell_0(\mathcal{L})$ be the constant term of the Laurent expansion of $\mathcal{L}'/\mathcal{L}$ at…

In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…

In this paper, we show the following; (1) The periodic zeta function ${\rm{Li}}_s (e^{2\pi ia})$ with $0<a<1/2$ or $1/2 < a <1$ does not vanish on the real line. (2) All real zeros of $Y(s,a):=\zeta (s,a) - \zeta (s,1-a)$, $O(s,a) := -i…
