Let $\Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, and let $[t]$ be the integral part of real number $t$. In this note, we prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ the asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n\le x} \Lambda\Big(\Big[\frac{x}{n}\Big]\Big) =…

Given a sequence $\mathscr{A}=\{a_0<a_1<a_2\ldots\}\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $r_{\mathscr{A},h}(n)$ denote the number of ways $n$ can be written as the sum of $h$ elements of $\mathscr{A}$. Fixing $h\geq 2$, we show that if $f$ is a…

Let $L$ be a L\'evy operator. A function $h$ is said to be harmonic with respect to $L$ if $L h = 0$ in an appropriate sense. We prove Liouville's theorem for positive functions harmonic with respect to a general L\'evy operator $L$: such…

We investigate the H\'enon-Lane-Emden system defined by $- \Delta u=|x|^a |v|^{p-1}v$ and $- \Delta v=|x|^b |u|^{q-1}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N \!\setminus\! \{0\}$. We begin by establishing a general Liouville-type theorem for the subcritical…

A fundamental theorem of Liouville asserts that positive entire harmonic functions in Euclidean spaces must be constant. A remarkable Liouville-type theorem of Caffarelli-Gidas-Spruck states that positive entire solutions of $-\Delta u=u^{…

We prove, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, that \int_{T}^{2T} |\zeta(1/2+it)|^{2k} dt \ll_{k} T log^{k^{2}} T for any fixed k \geq 0 and all large T. This is sharp up to the value of the implicit constant. Our proof builds on well known…
