Consider the product of (1-p^(-s))^(-4) over all primes p=1 mod 5. We evaluate its residue at s=1 and compare with the corresponding Mertens constant of Languasco & Zaccagnini. We also count primitive quintic Dirichlet characters mod n and…

We show that if p is an odd prime then $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}E_kE_{p-1-k}=1 (mod p)$$ and $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-3}E_kE_{p-3-k}=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}2E_{p-3} (mod p),$$ where E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers. Moreover, we prove that for any positive integer…

Let $k$ be an even positive integer, $p$ be a prime and $m$ be a nonnegative integer. We find an upper bound for orders of zeros (at cusps) of a linear combination of classical Eisenstein series of weight $k$ and level $p^m$. As an…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

In this paper, we show that the equation $\varphi(|x^{m}-y^{m}|)=|x^{n}-y^{n}|$ has no nontrivial solutions in integers $x,y,m,n$ with $xy\neq0, m>0, n>0$ except for the solutions $(x,y,m,n)=((2^{t-1}\pm1),-(2^{t-1}\mp1),2,1),…

We show, for any $q\ge 3$ and distinct reduced residues $a,b \pmod q$, the existence of certain hypothetical sets of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line implies that $\pi(x;q,a)<\pi(x;q,b)$ for a set of real $x$ of…

We present improved algorithms for computing the left factorial residues $!p=0!+1!+...+(p-1)! \!\mod p$. We use these algorithms for the calculation of the residues $!p\!\mod p$, for all primes $p$ up to $2^{40}$. Our results confirm that…

Sturm obtained the bounds for the number of the first Fourier coefficients of elliptic modular form $f$ to determine vanishing of $f$ modulo a prime $p$. In this paper, we study analogues of Sturm's bound for Siegel modular forms of genus…

Assuming a conjecture on distinct zeros of Dirichlet L-functions we get asymptotic results on the average number of representations of an integer as the sum of two primes in arithmetic progression. On the other hand the existence of good…

We study sharp conditions for the existence and nonexistence of infinitely many nonnegative solutions to the problem $-\Delta_p u = \lambda f(u)$ in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $f$ is a continuous function…

The paper focuses on the behaviour of unimodular Fourier multipliers with exponential growth in the context of weighted $L^p$-spaces. Our main result shows that much of the general theory of multipliers is approachable through the theory of…

We prove unconditionally that for each $\ell \geq 1$, the difference $\phi(p-\ell) - \phi(p+\ell)$ is positive for $50\%$ of odd primes $p$ and negative for $50\%$.

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, and denote by $N(p)$ the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of the reduction modulo $p$ of $E$. A conjecture of Koblitz, refined by Zywina, states that the number of primes $p \leq X$ at which $N(p)$ is…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, define $N^{\times}_{f}(x)=\#\{n\leq x: n=kf(k) \mbox{ for some $k$} \}$. Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…

In the study of Dirichlet series with arithmetic significance there has appeared (through the study of known examples) certain expectations, namely (i) if a functional equation and Euler product exists, then it is likely that a type of…
