This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions. By using the approach, we give explicit formulas for several classes of series of hyperbolic functions in terms of Riemann zeta values.…

The well-known sequence $\vartheta_n = \vartheta(p_n) = \sum_{i=1}^n \ln p_i= \ln\left([p_n]\#\right)$ exhibits numerous extremely interesting properties. Since $p_n = \exp(\vartheta_n - \vartheta_{n-1})$, it is immediately clear that the…

In this paper, we prove several new infinite families of Ramanujan--like congruences satisfied by the coefficients of the generating function $U_t(a,q)$ which is an extension of MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors function. As a…

The absolute continuity of the spectrum for the periodic Dirac operator $$ \hat D=\sum_{j=1}^n(-i\frac {\partial}{\partial x_j}-A_j)\hat \alpha_j + \hat V^{(0)}+\hat V^{(1)}, x\in R^n, n\geq 3, $$ is proved given that either $A\in…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…

This paper provides a survey of particular values of Ramanujan's theta function $\varphi(q)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}q^{n^2}$, when $q=e^{-\pi\sqrt{n}}$, where $n$ is a positive rational number. First, descriptions of the tools used to…

Suppose that a coin with bias theta is tossed at renewal times of a renewal process, and a fair coin is tossed at all other times. Let mu_\theta be the distribution of the observed sequence of coin tosses, and let u_n denote the chance of a…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain asymptotic formulas for $\sum_{0<\gamma<T}\zeta(\rho+\delta)\zeta(1-\rho+\overline{\delta})$ in the region $-\frac{a}{\log T} \leq \Re \delta \leq \frac{1}{2}+\frac{a}{\log T}$, $|\Im \delta|\ll…

Let $f_\omega(z)=\sum\limits_{j=0}^{\infty}\chi_j(\omega) a_j z^j$ be a random entire function, where $\chi_j(\omega)$ are independent and identically distributed random variables defined on a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mu)$.…

Each of Ramanujan's series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ is of the form $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^n \frac{ (a_{1})_{n} (a_{2})_{n} (a_{3})_{n} }{ (b_{1})_{n} (b_{2})_{n} (b_{3})_{n} } (c_{1} n + c_2) $$ for rational parameters such that the difference…

The famous Rogers-Ramanujan and Andrews--Gordon identities are embedded in a doubly-infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities labelled by positive integers m and n. For fixed m and n the product side corresponds to a specialised…

Recently G. Louchard obtained an asymptotic series $\sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac{I_j}{n^j}$ for the integral $\int_0^1[x^n+(1-x)^n]^{\frac1n}dx$ as $n\to\infty$, and computed $I_j$ for $j\le 5$ in terms of values of the Riemann zeta function. An…

The near orthgonality of certain $k$-vectors involving the Ramanujan sums were studied by E. Alkan in [J. Number Theory, 140:147--168 (2014)]. Here we undertake the study of similar vectors involving a generalization of the Ramanujan sums…

We formulate a parametrized uniformly absolutely globally convergent series of $\zeta$(s) denoted by Z(s, x). When expressed in closed form, it is given by Z(s, x) = (s -- 1)$\zeta$(s) + 1 x Li s z z -- 1 dz, where Li s (x) is the…

In these lectures we first review the important properties of the Riemann $\zeta$-function that are necessary to understand the nature and importance of the Riemann hypothesis (RH). In particular this first part describes the analytic…

The series $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ converges for $|q|<1$ and defines a {\em partial theta function}. For any fixed $q\in (0,1)$ it has infinitely many negative zeros. It is known that for $q$ taking one of the…

We prove that if $\omega$ is uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$, then as $T\to\infty$, $t\mapsto \zeta(i\omega T+it+1/2)$ converges to a non-trivial random generalized function, which in turn is identified as a product of a very well behaved…

We study universal compression of sequences generated by monotonic distributions. We show that for a monotonic distribution over an alphabet of size $k$, each probability parameter costs essentially $0.5 \log (n/k^3)$ bits, where $n$ is the…

In $2012$, Guillera and Zudilin established the following two supercongruences involving truncated Ramanujan-type series: for any odd prime $p>2$, \begin{align*}…
