In the first part, we consider generalized quadratic Gauss sums as finite analogues of the Jacobi theta function, and the reciprocity law for Gauss sums as their transformation formula. We attach finite Dirichlet series to Gauss sums using…
Let $Q$ be a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients and let $E(s,Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function associated with $Q$. Assume that the class number of $Q$ is bigger than $1$. Then we estimate the number of zeros of…
The Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is defined as the infinite sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s}$, which converges when ${\rm Re}\,s>1$. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ lie on the line ${\rm Re}\,s=…
The values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, $\zeta(2n+1)$, are shown to admit a representation proportional to the finite-part of the divergent integral $\int_0^{\infty} t^{-2n-1} \operatorname{csch}t\,\mathrm{d}t$.…
We obtain some Bailey pairs associated with indefinite quadratic forms with the $\beta_n$ connected to a finite sum. A new general identity is given, which provides identities for $q$-hypergeometric series, including mock theta functions.
This paper compares the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ with those of a symmetric combination of zeta functions, denoted ${\cal T}_+(s)$, known to have all its zeros located on the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$.…
Levinson and Montgomery proved that the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ and its derivative have approximately the same number of non-real zeros left of the critical line. R. Spira showed that $\zeta'(1/2+it)=0$ implies $\zeta(1/2+it)=0$.…
In this paper, we give the values of a certain kind of $q$-multiple zeta functions at roots of unity. Various multiple zeta values have been proposed and studied by many researchers, but these multiple zeta values naturally arise from…
We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…
The properties of several functions are employed to investigate the zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(a+bi)$ $(0<a<1, b\neq 0)$. If the zeros of the zeta function have not the form $\frac{1}{2}+ib$ where $i=\sqrt{-1}$, we derive a…
Consider a nonzero contraction $T$ and a bounded operator $X$ satisfying $TX=qXT$ for a complex number $q$. There are some interesting results in the literature on $q$-commuting dilation and $q$-commutant lifting of such pair $(T,X)$ when…
This note investigates the prime values of the polynomial $f(t)=qt^2+a$ for any fixed pair of relatively prime integers $ a\geq 1$ and $ q\geq 1$ of opposite parity. For a large number $x\geq1$, an asymptotic result of the form $\sum_{n\leq…
The Riemann hypothesis states that all nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie in the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$. Hilbert and P\'olya suggested that one possible way to prove the Riemann hypothesis is to interpret the nontrivial zeros in…
This paper studies zeta functions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \chi(n) n^{-s}$, with $\chi$ a completely multiplicative function taking only unimodular values. We denote by $\sigma(\chi)$ the infimum of those $\alpha$ such that the…
One of the generalizations of multiple zeta values is the $q$-version, and in the case of finite sums, they may be expressed explicitly in polynomial form. Several results have been found when the powers of the factors in the denominator…
In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…
In the space of bounded real-valued functions on the interval $(0,1)$, we study the convergent sequences of $q$-analogues of multiple zeta values which do not converge to $0$. And we obtain the derived sets of the set of some $q$-analogue…
This article considers linear relations between the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function. The main application is an alternative disproof to Mertens' conjecture. We show that $\limsup M(x)x^{-1/2} \geq 1.6383$ and that $\liminf…
We study the Lambert series $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty k^s q^{k x}/(1-q^k)$, for all $s \in \mathbb{C}$. We obtain the complete asymptotic expansion of $\mathscr{L}_q(s,x)$ near $q=1$. Our analysis of the Lambert series yields…
We show the zero-density estimate \[ N(\zeta_{\mathcal{P}}; \alpha, T) \ll T^{\frac{4(1-\alpha)}{3-2\alpha-\theta}}(\log T)^{9} \] for Beurling zeta functions $\zeta_{\mathcal{P}}$ attached to Beurling generalized number systems with…
