Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer. Let $\delta_k(n)$ denote the maximum divisor of $n$ which is co-prime to $k$. We study the error term of the general $m$-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function $\delta_k(n)$ for any positive integer $m \ge…

We study the distribution functions of several classical error terms in analytic number theory, focusing on the remainder term in the Dirichlet divisor problem $\Delta(x)$. We first bound the discrepancy between the distribution function of…

Andrade and Keating computed the mean value of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions at the critical point, in the hyperelliptic ensemble over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Summing $L(1/2,\chi_D)$ over monic, square-free polynomials $D$…

We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

For a fixed irrational $\theta > 0$ with a prescribed irrationality measure function, we study the correlation $\int_1^X \Delta(x) \Delta(\theta x) dx$, where $\Delta$ is the Dirichlet error term in the divisor problem. When $\theta$ has a…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula of the seventh-power moment of $\Delta(x)$ and prove that \begin{equation*} \int_2^T \Delta^7(x)\mathrm{d}x=…

An overview of the classical Rankin-Selberg problem involving the asymptotic formula for sums of coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms is given. We also study the function $\Delta(x;\xi) (0\le\xi\le1)$, the error term in the Rankin-Selberg…

Additive divisor sums play a prominent role in the theory of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. There is a long history of determining sharp asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution sum of the ordinary divisor function. In…

In this series we examine the calculation of the $2k$th moment and shifted moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line using long Dirichlet polynomials and divisor correlations. The present paper is concerned with the precise…

If $(k,\ell)$ is an exponent pair such that $k+\ell<1$, then we have $$ \int_1^T|\zeta(1/2+it)|^4|\zeta(\sigma+it)|^2dt \ll_\epsilon T^{1+\epsilon}\quad(\sigma > \min({5\over6},\max(\ell-k, {5k+\ell\over4k+1})), $$ while if $(k,\ell)$ is an…

We examine the size of $E_{2}(T)$, the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\int_{0}^{T} |\zeta(1/2 + it)|^{4}\, dt$ where $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. We make improvements in the powers of $\log T$ in the known bounds for…

Let $d(n;\ell_1,M_1,\ell_2,M_2)$ denote the number of factorizations $n=n_1n_2$, where each of the factors $n_i\in\mathbb{N}$ belongs to a prescribed congruence class $\ell_i\bmod M_i\,(i=1,2)$. Let $\Delta(x;\ell_1,M_1,\ell_2,M_2)$ be the…

We show the estimates \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^{-1} dt =e^{-\gamma}/4 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) and \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)| dt =e^{-\gamma} \pi^2/24 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) as well as corresponding results for…

Let $-1/2<a<0$ be a fixed real number and \begin{equation*} \Delta_{a}(x)=\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n\leq x} \sigma_a(n)-\zeta(1-a)x-\frac{\zeta(1+a)}{1+a}x^{1+a}+\frac{1}{2}\zeta(-a). \end{equation*} In this paper, we investigate the…

In this article, we obtain effective estimates for the error term $\Delta_{k}(x)$ for all integers $k \geq2$, and completely explicit estimates for integers $k \in [3,9]$. The explicit results improve the powers of $x$ appearing in the…

Suppose $a$ and $b$ are two fixed positive integers such that $(a,b)=1.$ In this paper we shall establish an asymptotic formula for the mean square of the error term $\Delta_{a,b}(x)$ of the general two-dimensional divisor problem.

We study the extent to which divisors of a typical integer $n$ are concentrated. In particular, defining the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function by $\Delta(n) := \max_t \# \{d | n, \log d \in [t,t+1]\}$, we show that $\Delta(n) \geq (\log…

We prove mod-Gaussian convergence for a Dirichlet polynomial which approximates $\operatorname{Im}\log\zeta(1/2+it)$. This Dirichlet polynomial is sufficiently long to deduce Selberg's central limit theorem with an explicit error term.…
