A well-known conjecture asserts that, for any given positive real number $\lambda$ and nonnegative integer $m$, the proportion of positive integers $n \le x$ for which the interval $(n,n + \lambda\log n]$ contains exactly $m$ primes is…
The Riemann Hypothesis states that the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$ admits a set of ``non-trivial'' zeros that are complex numbers supposed to have real part $1/2$. Their distribution on the complex plane is thought to be the key to…
We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…
We investigate the distribution of the Riemann zeta-function on the line $\Re(s)=\sigma$. For $\tfrac 12 < \sigma \le 1$ we obtain an upper bound on the discrepancy between the distribution of $\zeta(s)$ and that of its random model,…
(This is only a first preliminary version, any suggestions about it will be welcome.) In this paper it is shown how to compute Riemann's zeta function $\zeta(s)$ (and Riemann-Siegel $Z(t)$) at any point $s\in\mathbf C$ with a prescribed…
The Riemann Hypothesis is not proved yet and this article gives a possible proof for the hypothesis which confirms that the only possible nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function has its real value equal to 1/2. From the result, the…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
Given a zero-free region and an averaged zero-density estimate over all Dirichlet $L$-functions modulo $q\in\mathbb{N}$, we refine the error terms of the prime number theorem in all and almost all short arithmetic progressions. For example,…
We present highlights of computations of the Riemann zeta function around large values and high zeros. The main new ingredient in these computations is an implementation of the second author's fast algorithm for numerically evaluating…
We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, where $q\in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$ and either $x\in \mathbb{R}$ or $x\in \mathbb{C}$. We prove that for $x\in \mathbb{R}$, in each of the two cases $q\in…
We present in this work a heuristic expression for the density of prime numbers. Our expression leads to results which possesses approximately the same precision of the Riemann's function in the domain that goes from 2 to 1010 at least.…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper bounds with explicit main terms for moduli of $\left(\cL'/\cL\right)(s)$ and $\log{\cL(s)}$ for $1/2+\delta\leq\sigma<1$, fixed $\delta\in(0,1/2)$ and for functions in…
In previous work, the author has extended the concept of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields k_{0}, using the values of the zeta function \zeta_{k_{0}} at negative integers as our ``higher…
We establish the equivalence of conjectures concerning the pair correlation of zeros of $L$-functions in the Selberg class and the variances of sums of a related class of arithmetic functions over primes in short intervals. This extends the…
In this paper we study the distribution of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ (and other L-functions) using Montgomery's pair correlation approach. We use semidefinite programming to improve upon numerous…
Let $-1/2<a<0$ be a fixed real number and \begin{equation*} \Delta_{a}(x)=\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n\leq x} \sigma_a(n)-\zeta(1-a)x-\frac{\zeta(1+a)}{1+a}x^{1+a}+\frac{1}{2}\zeta(-a). \end{equation*} In this paper, we investigate the…
Two identities extracted from the literature are coupled to obtain an integral equation for Riemann's $\xi(s)$ function, and thus $\zeta(s)$ indirectly. The equation has a number of simple properties from which useful derivations flow, the…
For $i\in \{1,2,3\}$, let $E_i(x)$ denote the error term in each of the three theorems of Mertens on the asymptotic distribution of prime numbers. We show that for $i\in \{1,2\}$ the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the condition…
We determine the behavior of multiplicative functions vanishing at a positive proportion of prime numbers in almost all short intervals. Furthermore we quantify "almost all" with uniform power-saving upper bounds, that is, we save a power…
We establish lower bounds for all weighted even moments of primes up to $X$ in intervals which are in agreement with a conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan. Our bounds hold unconditionally for an unbounded set of values of $X$, and…
