Let $\mathbf{P} \subset [H_0,H]$ be a set of primes, where $\log H_0 \geq (\log H)^{2/3 + \epsilon}$. Let $\mathscr{L} = \sum_{p \in \mathbf{P}} 1/p$. Let $N$ be such that $\log H \leq (\log N)^{1/2-\epsilon}$. We show there exists a subset…

Congruences are found modulo powers of 5, 7 and 13 for Andrews' smallest parts partition function spt(n). These congruences are reminiscent of Ramanujan's partition congruences modulo powers of 5, 7 and 11. Recently, Ono proved explicit…

We prove several results which imply the following consequences. For any $\varepsilon>0$ and any sufficiently large prime $p$, if $\cI_1,\ldots, \cI_{13}$ are intervals of cardinalities $|\cI_j|>p^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ and $abc\not\equiv…

We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…

In this paper, we study the counting functions $\psi_\mathcal{P}(x)$, $N_\mathcal{P}(x)$ and $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ of a generalized prime system $\mathcal{N}$. Here $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ is the partial sum of the M\"{o}bius function over…

For $k\geq 1$ an integer and $x\geq 1$ a real number, let $\pi_k(x)$ be the number of integers smaller than $x$ having exactly $k$ distinct prime divisors. Building on recent work of Matom\"aki and Radziwi\l\l, we investigate the asymptotic…

The orders of magnitudes of the summatory Liouville function L(x), and the summatory Mobius function M(x), are unconditionally proven to be of the forms L(x) = O(x^.5)), and M(x) = O(x^.5) respectively. Furthermore, applications of these…

Let $f(n)$ denote a multiplicative function with range $\{-1,0,1\}$, and let $F(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f(n)$. Then $F(x)/\sqrt{x} = a\sqrt{x} + b + E(x)$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $E(x)$ is an error term that either tends to $0$ in…

Corollary 2, Entry 9, Chapter 4 of Ramanujan's first notebook claims that a certain sum is asymptotic to ln(x) + gamma, where x is a real variable in the sum and gamma is Euler's constant. Ramanujan's claim is known to be correct for the…

In this Ph.D. thesis, written under the direction of D.B. Zagier and R.W. Bruggeman, we study the mock theta functions, that were introduced by Ramanujan. We show how they can be interpreted in the theory of (real-analytic) modular forms.…

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers with $m,n \geq 2$. The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture states that the number of primes in the interval $(m,m+n]$ is always less than or equal to the number of primes in the interval $[2,n]$. Based on…

Ramanujan presented four identities for third order mock theta functions in his Lost Notebook. In 2005, with the aid of complex analysis, Yesilyurt first proved these four identities. Recently, Andrews et al. provided different proofs by…

We study the prime pair counting functions $\pi_{2k}(x),$ and their averages over $2k.$ We show that good results can be achieved with relatively little effort by considering averages. We prove an asymptotic relation for longer averages of…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…

We prove certain conjecture holds true for a finite category which has M\"obius inversion. The conjecture states a relationship between the zeta function of a finite category and the Euler characteristic of a finite category.

We prove that the M\"obius function is orthogonal to polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ (up to a characteristic condition). We use this orthogonality property to count prime solutions to affine-linear equations of bounded complexity in…

We consider the class of all non-negative on $\mathbb{R_+}$ functions such that each of them satisfies the Reverse H\"older Inequality uniformly over all intervals with some constant the minimum value of which can be regarded as the…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of divisors function of a positive integer $n$. Robin proved that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n) < e^{\gamma}n \log \log n$ holds for every positive integer $n \geq…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…
