We show that the sign constancy for the values of certain weighted summatory functions of the von Mangoldt function implies the Riemann hypothesis or the generalized Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions. While such sign constancy…
We define an $f$-restricted partition $p_f(n,k)$ of fixed length $k$ given by the bivariate generating series \begin{align*} Q_f(z,u) \coloneqq 1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} p_f(n,k) u^kz^n…
Given a sequence $\mathscr{A}=\{a_0<a_1<a_2\ldots\}\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $r_{\mathscr{A},h}(n)$ denote the number of ways $n$ can be written as the sum of $h$ elements of $\mathscr{A}$. Fixing $h\geq 2$, we show that if $f$ is a…
Let $F(s)=\sum_n a_n/\lambda_n^s$ be a general Dirichlet series which is absolutely convergent on $\Re(s)>1$. Assume that $F(s)$ has an analytic continuation and satisfies a growth condition, which gives rise to certain invariants namely…
We determine all entire functions $f$ such that for nonzero complex values $a\neq b$ the implications $f=a \Rightarrow f' =a$ and $f' =b \Rightarrow f=b$ hold. This solves an open problem in uniqueness theory. In this context we give a…
We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…
The binary sum-of-digits function $\mathsf{s}$ returns the number of ones in the binary expansion of a nonnegative integer. Cusick's Hamming weight conjecture states that, for all integers $t\geq 0$, the set of nonnegative integers $n$ such…
Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…
We obtain (conditional and unconditional) results on large values of $L$-functions $L(s,\chi)$ in the critical strip $1/2 \leq \Re s \leq 1$ when the character $\chi$ runs through a thin subgroup of all characters modulo an integer $q$.…
Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is of type 1 if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{Z}$ that is not a Dirac mass and that has finite support. We prove that if the coefficients of a monic polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ are chosen independently at random…
Given a partition $\{E_0,\ldots,E_n\}$ of the set of primes and a vector $\mathbf{k} \in \mathbb{N}_0^{n+1}$, we compute an asymptotic formula for the quantity $|\{m \leq x: \omega_{E_j}(m) = k_j \ \forall \ 0 \leq j \leq n\}|$ uniformly in…
For a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n \geq 1} \subseteq (0, \infty)$ and a Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s},$ let $\sigma_a(f)$ denote the abscissa of absolute convergence of $f$ and let \begin{equation} \delta_a(f): =…
This paper investigates certain classes of entire functions in C^n that, together with their partial derivatives, share a finite set consisting of three elements. By employing normality criteria, we study the behaviour of such functions and…
Given polynomials $f_1,\ldots,f_n$ in $m$ variables with integral coefficients, we give upper bounds for the number of integral $m$-tuples $\mathbf{u}_1,\ldots, \mathbf{u}_n$ of bounded height such that $f_1(\mathbf{u}_1), \ldots,…
We study the rate of growth of ergodic sums along a sequence (a_n) of times: S_N f(x)=f(T^{a_1}x) + ... + f(T^{a_N}x). We characterize the maximal rate of growth of these ergodic sums and identify a number of sequences such as (2^n) that…
In a recent article, Donoso, Le, Moreira and Sun studied sets of recurrence for actions of the multiplicative semigroup $(\mathbb{N}, \times)$ and provided some sufficient conditions for sets of the form $S=\{(an+b)/(cn+d) \colon n \in…
A classical problem in number theory is showing that the mean value of an arithmetic function is asymptotic to its mean value over a short interval or over an arithmetic progression, with the interval as short as possible or the modulus as…
For an open set $V\subset\mathbb{C}^n$, denote by $\mathscr{M}_{\alpha}(V)$ the family of $\alpha$-analytic functions that obey a boundary maximum modulus principle. We prove that, on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^n$, with…
We provide a uniform bound on the partial sums of multiplicative functions under very general hypotheses. As an application, we give a nearly optimal estimate for the count of $n \le x$ for which the Alladi-Erd\H{o}s function $A(n) =…
