We investigate the joint distribution of $L$-functions on the line $ \sigma= \frac12 + \frac1{G(T)}$ and $ t \in [ T, 2T]$, where $ \log \log T \leq G(T) \leq \frac{ \log T}{ ( \log \log T)^2 } $. We obtain an upper bound on the discrepancy…

Given an integer $k\ge2$, let $\omega_k(n)$ denote the number of primes that divide $n$ with multiplicity exactly $k$. We compute the density $e_{k,m}$ of those integers $n$ for which $\omega_k(n)=m$ for every integer $m\ge0$. We also show…
