Let $q\ge 2$ and $N\ge 1$ be integers. W. Zhang (2008) has shown that for any fixed $\epsilon> 0$, and $q^{\epsilon} \le N \le q^{1/2 -\epsilon}$, $$ \sum_{\chi \ne \chi_0} |\sum_{n=1}^N \chi(n)|^2 |L(1, \chi)|^2 = (1 + o(1)) \alpha_q q N…

We produce trigonometric expansions for Jacobi theta functions\\ $\theta_j(u,\tau), j=1,2,3,4$\ where $\tau=i\pi t, t > 0$. This permits us to prove that\ $\log \frac{\theta_j(u, t)}{\theta_j(0, t)}, j=2,3,4$ and $\log \frac{\theta_1(u,…

Let $m$ be a positive integer, and define $$\zeta_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2\pi i/m})^{\omega(n)}}{n^s}\ \ \ \ \text{and} \ \ \ \ \zeta^*_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2\pi i/m})^{\Omega(n)}}{n^s},$$ for $\Re(s)>1$, where…

We present an unconditional proof that non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function must lie strictly on the critical line $\text{Re}(s) = 0.5$. By defining a recursive path of Taylor expansions originating from the domain of absolute…

We consider measurable functions $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ that tile simultaneously by two arithmetic progressions $\alpha \mathbb{Z}$ and $\beta \mathbb{Z}$ at respective tiling levels $p$ and $q$. We are interested in two main questions: what…

Let $K$ be a compact set with connected complement on the half-plane Re$(s)>0$, and let $f$ be a continuous function on $K$ which is analytic in its interior. We prove that for any parameter $0<\alpha<1, \alpha \neq \frac 1 2$ then $f(s)$…

We generalize a number of works on the zeros of certain level 1 modular forms to a class of weakly holomorphic modular functions whose $q$-expansions satisfy \[ f_k(A, \tau) \colon = q^{-k}(1+a(1)q+a(2)q^2+...) + O(q),\] where $a(n)$ are…

We introduce a new method to detect the zeros of the Riemann zeta function which is sensitive to the vertical distribution of the zeros. This allows us to prove there are few `half-isolated' zeros. By combining this with classical methods,…

Two representations of the Bessel zeta function are investigated. An incomplete representation is constructed using contour integration and an integral representation due to Hawkins is fully evaluated (analytically continued) to produce two…

Let $[C]$ be a general point in the moduli space of curves $M_g$ with $g > 1$. Let $G \subset J(C)$ be a connected compact subgroup of real dimension $1$ of the Jacobian, and let $L$ be an even theta characteristic on $C$. We prove that…

The individual terms of the series representing the Riemann zeta function are examined geometrically from their accumulated plot in the complex plane. Symmetry is identified and determined mathematically for comparison with more traditional…

Two theorems on the asymptotic distribution of zeros of sequences of analytic functions are proved. First one relates the asymptotic behavior of zeros to the asymptotic behavior of coefficients. Second theorem establishes a relation between…

Based on the weak expansion property of a long iteration of a family of quasi-Blaschke products near the unit circle established recently, we prove that the Julia sets of a number of transcendental entire functions with bounded type Siegel…

The following theorem is proven: Both real and imaginary parts of the function F(s) defined as F(s)=zeta(s)*Gamma(s/2)*pi**(-s/2)=xi(s)/(s*(s-1)), and whose zeroes exactly coincide with the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function,…

We show that the motivic zeta functions of smooth, geometrically connected curves with no rational points are rational functions. This was previously known only for curves whose smooth projective models have a rational point on each…

Let $\gamma$ denote imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Certain sums over the $\gamma$'s are evaluated, by using the function $G(s) = \sum_{\gamma>0}\gamma^{-s}$ and other techniques. Some integrals…

By considering the prime zeta function, the author intended to demonstrate in that the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) does not vanish for Re(s)>1/2, which would have proven the Riemann hypothesis. However, he later realised that the proof of…

Several identities for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ are proved. For example, if $s = \sigma + it$ and $\sigma > 0$, then $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty |{(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)\over s}|^2dt = {\pi\over\sigma}(1 -…

Let q be an integral quadratic form of signature (2,m+2). We will show that the Siegel theta functions attached to q satisfies certain symmetries. As an application, we prove the symmetries for automorphic forms on the orthogonal group of q…

Sums of the form add((-1)^n q^(n(n-1)/2) x^n, n>=0) are called partial theta functions. In his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded many identities for those functions. In 2003, Warnaar found an elegant formula for a sum of two partial theta…
