We extend the sum-of-divisors function to the complex plane via the Gaussian integers. Then we prove a modified form of Euler's classification of odd perfect numbers.
Let \{X_1, X_2, ...\} be a sequence of positive independent and identically distributed random variables of Pareto-type with index \alpha>0 and let \{N(t); t\geq 0\} be a mixed Poisson process independent of the X_i's. For t\geq 0, define…
We give a simple inequality that compares the laws of two random variables taking values in a convex subset of a normed vector space. By combining this with Arratia's coupling, recently refined by Koukoulopoulos and the author, we obtain a…
We show that if $F(s)$ is a nondegenerate ordinary Dirichlet series with nonnegative coefficients and $F(k)$ is a rational number for all large enough positive integers $k$, then the denominators of those rational numbers are unbounded. In…
Taking $t$ at random, uniformly from $[0,T]$, we consider the $k$th moment, with respect to $t$, of the random variable corresponding to the $2\beta$th moment of $\zeta(1/2+ix)$ over the interval $x\in(t, t+1]$, where $\zeta(s)$ is the…
This is part II of our examination 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.
The class of Dirichlet series associated with a periodic arithmetical function $f$ includes the Riemann zeta-function as well as Dirichlet $L$-functions to residue class characters. We study the value-distribution of these Dirichlet series…
Let $d_1 = 1 < d_2 < d_3 < \cdots < d_{\tau(n)} = n$ denote the increasing sequence of the divisors of a positive integer $n$. In this paper, for real or complex values of $\alpha$, we define and study some properties of two new divisor…
We prove an asymptotic for the sum of $\zeta^{(n)} (\rho)X^{\rho}$ where $\zeta^{(n)} (s)$ denotes the $n$th derivative of the Riemann zeta function, $X$ is a positive real and $\rho$ denotes a non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function.…
The Riemann zeta function, and more generally the L-functions of Dirichlet characters, are among the central objects of study in number theory. We report on a project to formalize the theory of these objects in Lean's "Mathlib" library,…
Fractional (in time and in space) evolution equations defined on Dirichlet regular bounded open domains, driven by fractional integrated in time Gaussian spatiotemporal white noise, are considered here. Sufficient conditions for the…
We study piecewise polynomial functions $\gamma_k(c)$ that appear in the asymptotics of averages of the divisor sum in short intervals. Specifically, we express these polynomials as the inverse Fourier transform of a Hankel determinant that…
Let $\taue_k \colon \Z\to\Z$ be a multiplicative function such that $ \taue_k(p^a) = \sum_{d_1... d_k=a} 1 $. In the present paper we introduce generalizations of $\taue_k$ over the ring of Gaussian integers $\Zi$. We determine their…
Finite differences of values of the Riemann zeta function at the integers are explored. Such quantities, which occur as coefficients in Newton series representations, have surfaced in works of Maslanka, Coffey, Baez-Duarte, Voros and…
We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that factorization of integers into $k$ parts follows the Dirichlet distribution $\text{Dir}\left(\frac{1}{k},\ldots,\frac{1}{k}\right)$ by multidimensional contour integration, thereby generalizing…
In this paper I introduce a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis, and then using that I prove $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \mu(k)/k^s$ converges for $\Re(s) > \frac{1}{2}$. I use a step function $\nu(x) = 2\{x/2\} - \{x\}$ for the Dirichlet eta…
In this paper we obtain some new estimates for the number of large values of Dirichlet polynomials. Our results imply new zero density estimates for the Riemann zeta function which give a small improvement on results of Bourgain and Jutila.
We establish power saving asymptotics for the sum of the divisor function along a binary quartic form, improving on work of Daniel. The proof involves an application of a recent two dimensional delta method due to Li, Rydin-Myerson, and…
