The Mertens function is defined as $M(x) = \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, where $\mu(n)$ is the M\"obius function. The Mertens conjecture states $|M(x)/\sqrt{x}| < 1$ for $x > 1$, which was proven false in 1985 by showing $\liminf M(x)/\sqrt{x} <…

An explicit formula for the quadratic mean value at $s=1$ of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with the odd Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ is known. Here we present a situation where we could prove an explicit formula for the…

We provide some upper bounds for the Mertens function ($M(n)$: the cumulative sum of the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function) by an approach of statistical mechanics, in which the M$\ddot{\mathrm{o}}$bius function is taken as a particular…

Some results and conjectures on $Z_2(s) = \int_1^\infty |\zeta(1/2+ix)|^4x^{-s}dx (\Re s > 1)$ are presented. Consequences of these conjectures regarding the eighth moment of $|\zeta(1/2+it)$ and the error term in the fourth moment of…

Euler discovered a formula for expressing the value of the Riemann zeta function for all even positive integer arguments. A closed-form expression for the Riemann zeta function for all odd integer arguments, based on the values of the…

We investigate the relation between the Riesz and the Baez-Duarte criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular we present the relation between the function $R(x)$ appearing in the Riesz criterion and the sequence $c_k$ appearing in…

We introduce a new set of prime numbers functions including an exact Generating Function and a Discriminating Function of Prime Numbers neither based on prime number tables nor on algorithms. Instead these functions are defined in terms of…

We describe in detail three distinct families of generalized zeta functions built over the (nontrivial) zeros of a rather general arithmetic zeta or L-function, extending the scope of two earlier works that treated the Riemann zeros only.…

Lehmer's totient problem asks whether there exists any composite number $n$ such that $\varphi(n) \, \mid \, (n-1)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler totient function. It is known that if any such $n$ exists, it must be Carmichael and $n >…

Let $(M, {g})$ be a compact, $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. Suppose further that $(M,g)$ is either two dimensional and has no conjugate points or $(M,g)$ has non-positive sectional curvature. The goal of this note is…

We consider random polynomials with independent identically distributed coefficients with a fixed law. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that such polynomials are irreducible and their Galois groups…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain a formula for the mean value of the $k$-derivative of $\zeta'/\zeta$, depending on the pair correlation of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. This formula allows us to obtain new equivalences to…

As well known, the study of Riemanns zeta function {\zeta}(s) involves the related entire function {\xi}(s). A close relative of {\zeta}(s) is the alternating zeta function {\eta}(s). Similar to {\zeta}(s), also {\eta}(s) has a…

We introduce a deficiency-based representation and approximation framework for values of the Riemann zeta function. The method is based on comparing two nonlinear accumulation mechanisms: global transformation of a base partial sum and…

For each positive integer $r$, let $S_r$ denote the $r^{th}$ Schemmel totient function, a multiplicative arithmetic function defined by \[S_r(p^{\alpha})=\begin{cases} 0, & \mbox{if } p\leq r; \\ p^{\alpha-1}(p-r), & \mbox{if } p>r…

The main aim of this paper is to study an analogue of the generalized divisor function in a number field $\mathbb{K}$, namely, $\sigma_{\mathbb{K},\alpha}(n)$. The Dirichlet series associated to this function is…

By using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, we deduce new integral representations for the Riemann zeta function at positive odd-integer arguments. The explicit expressions enable us to obtain criteria for the dimension of the vector space…

Approximation in measure is employed to solve an asymptotic Dirichlet problem on arbitrary open sets and to show that many functions, including the Riemann zeta-function, are universal in measure. Connections with the Riemann Hypothesis are…
