We prove several results on the distribution function of $\zeta(1+it)$ in the complex plane, that is the joint distribution function of $\arg\zeta(1+it)$ and $|\zeta(1+it)|$. Similar results are also given for $L(1,\chi)$ (as $\chi$ varies…

Y\i ld\i r\i m obtained an asymptotic formula of the discrete moment of $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|$ over the zero of the higher derivatives of Hardy's $Z$-function. We give a generalization of his result on Hardy's $Z$-function.

It is shown explicitly how the sign of Hardy's function $Z(t)$ depends on the parity of the zero-counting function $N(T)$. Two existing definitions of this function are analyzed, and some related problems are discussed.

Sums of squares of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ over short intervals are investigated. Known upper bounds for the fourth and twelfth moment of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ are derived. A discussion concerning other possibilities for the estimation of higher…

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…
