Let $\gamma$ denote imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Certain sums over the $\gamma$'s are evaluated, by using the function $G(s) = \sum_{\gamma>0}\gamma^{-s}$ and other techniques. Some integrals…

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…

The finite Dirichlet series from the title are defined by the condition that they vanish at as many initial zeroes of the zeta function as possible. It turned out that such series can produce extremely good approximations to the values of…

We study the parity of coefficients of classical mock theta functions. Suppose $g$ is a formal power series with integer coefficients, and let $c(g;n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in its series expansion. We say that $g$ is of parity type…

A scaling and renormalization approach to the Riemann zeta function, $\zeta$, evaluated at $-1$ is presented in two ways. In the first, one takes the difference between $U_{n}:=\sum_{q=1}^{n}q$ and $4U_{\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor…

We give an algebraic analog of the functional equation of Riemann's theta function. More precisely, we define a `theta multiplier' line bundle over the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian schemes with theta characteristic and…

We prove a general alternate circular summation formula of theta functions, which implies a great deal of theta-function identities. In particular, we recover several identities in Ramanujan's Notebook from this identity. We also obtain two…

We produce trigonometric expansions for Jacobi theta functions\\ $\theta_j(u,\tau), j=1,2,3,4$\ where $\tau=i\pi t, t > 0$. This permits us to prove that\ $\log \frac{\theta_j(u, t)}{\theta_j(0, t)}, j=2,3,4$ and $\log \frac{\theta_1(u,…

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…

Jacobi's $\theta$ function has numerous applications in mathematics and computer science; a naive algorithm allows the computation of $\theta(z,\tau)$, for $z, \tau$ verifying certain conditions, with precision $P$ in $O(\mathcal{M}(P)…

In this article, we present a binary tree with vertices given by rational functions $p(x)/q(x)$; the root and functional derivation of children are inspired by continued fractions. We prove some special properties of the tree. For example,…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…

We investigate the zeros of Epstein zeta functions associated with a positive definite quadratic form with rational coefficients in the vertical strip $ \sigma_1 < \Re s < \sigma_2 $, where $ 1/2 < \sigma_1 < \sigma_2 < 1 $. When the class…

Quantum theta functions were introduced by the author in [Ma1]. They are certain elements in the function rings of quantum tori. By definition, they satisfy a version of the classical functional equations involving shifts by the…

Given a multiplicative function $f$, we let $S(x,f)=\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ be the associated partial sum. In this note, we show that lower bounds on partial sums of divisor-bounded functions result in lower bounds on the partial sums…

The definitions and main properties of the Ihara and Bartholdi zeta functions for infinite graphs are reviewed. The general question of the validity of a functional equation is discussed, and various possible solutions are proposed.

We provide an explicit formula for the Tornheim double series T(a,0,c) in terms of an integral involving the Hurwitz zeta function. For integer values of the parameters, a=m, c=n, we show that in the most interesting case of even weight…

Let $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}q^{n(n-1)/2}x^n$ ($0<q<1$) be the deformed exponential function. It is known that the zeros of $f(x)$ are real and form a negative decreasing sequence $(x_k)$ ($k\ge 1$). We investigate the complete…

This paper is divided into two independent parts. The first part presents new integral and series representations of the Riemaan zeta function. An equivalent formulation of the Riemann hypothesis is given and few results on this formulation…
