We examine the calculation of the second and fourth moments and shifted moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line using long Dirichlet polynomials and divisor correlations. Previously this approach has proved unsuccessful in…

In this article, we establish an asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of the Riemann zeta function, assuming the Riemann hypothesis and a quaternary additive divisor conjecture. This builds on the work of the first author on the sixth…

For any large prime $q$, $x \leq 1$ and any real $k\geq 2$, we prove a lower bound for the following $2k$-th moment \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi \in X_q^*}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k}, \end{equation*} where…

A representation number is a function which expresses the number of ways an integer can be written as a sum of elements of chosen sets. One of the oldest number-theoretic results on representation numbers is Fermat's theorem which says that…

In the present paper, we study large values of Dirichlet $L$- functions inside the critical strip. For every $1/2<\sigma<1$, we show that for $q$ sufficiently large, there exists a non-principal character $\chi$ modulo $q$ and a constant…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we establish an upper bound for the $2k$-th discrete moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function at nontrivial zeros, where $k$ is a positive real number. Our upper bound agrees with conjectures of…

Let $S(t) = \tfrac{1}{\pi} \arg \zeta \big({1/2} + it \big)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\tfrac12 + it$. For $n \geq 1$ and $t>0$ define its antiderivatives as \begin{equation*} S_n(t) = \int_0^t S_{n-1}(\tau)…

Let $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the mixed moment of the product of $\zeta(s)$ and $L(s,f)$ on the critical line. Similarly, we prove an asymptotic formula for the mixed moment of the…

For a fairly general family of L-functions, we survey the known consequences of the existence of asymptotic formulas with power-sawing error term for the (twisted) first and second moments of the central values in the family. We then…

Let $S(t,f)=\pi^{-1}\arg L(1/2+it, f)$, where $f$ is a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $2$ and prime level $q$. In this paper, we establish an unconditional asymptotic formula for the moments of $S(t,f)$, providing a level aspect…

Let $E(s, Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function attached to a positive definite quadratic form of discriminant $D<0$, such that $h(D)\geq 2$, where $h(D)$ is the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$. We denote by…

Consider exponential Carmichael function $\lambda^{(e)}$ such that $\lambda^{(e)}$ is multiplicative and $\lambda^{(e)}(p^a) = \lambda(a)$, where $\lambda$ is usual Carmichael function. We discuss the value of $\sum \lambda^{(e)}(n)$, where…

Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein, and Snaith, recently conjectured formulas for the full asymptotics of the moments of $L$-functions. In the case of the Riemann zeta function, their conjecture states that the $2k$-th absolute moment of…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, let $L(s, \chi)$ be the attached Dirichlet $L$-function, and let $L^\prime(s, \chi)$ denotes its derivative with respect to the complex variable $s$. The main purpose of this paper is to give…

We prove several results regarding the distribution of numbers that are the product of a prime and a $k$-th power. First, we prove an asymptotic formula for the counting function of such numbers; this generalises a result of E. Cohen. We…
