Divisor functions have attracted the attention of number theorists from Dirichlet to the present day. Here we consider associated divisor functions $c_j^{(r)}(n)$ which for non-negative integers $j, r$ count the number of ways of…

Motivated by questions about the typical sizes of gaps $|f(n+1)-f(n)|$ in the sequence $(f(n))_n$, where $f$ is an integer-valued multiplicative function, we investigate the set of solutions $$ \{n \in \mathbb{N} : f(n+a) = f(n) + b\},…

Let the summatory function of the M\"{o}bius function be denoted $M(x)$. We deduce in this article conditional results concerning $M(x)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal on the negative moments of the…

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…

If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies $f(a^2+b^2+c^2) = f(a)^2+f(b)^2+f(c)^2$ for all positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, then $f$ is an identity function.

For a smooth, closed $n$-manifold $M$, we define an upper semi-continuous integer-valued complexity function on $H^1(M;{\mathbb R})$ using Morse theory. This measures how far an integral class is from being a fiber of a fibration. The fact…

Let $f$ be an entire almost periodic function with zeros in a horizontal strip of finite width; for example, any exponential polynomial with purely imaginary exponents is such a function. Let $\mu$ be the measure on the set of zeros of $f$…

We embed the somewhat unusual multiplicative function, which was serendipitously discovered in 2010 during a study of mutually unbiased bases in the Hilbert space of quantum physics, into two families of multiplicative functions that we…

We obtained the formulas for the quantities of positive, negative and zero values of the Mobius function for any real x in terms of the Mobius function values for square root of x - similar to the identities we found earlier for the Mertens…

Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots$ be independent identically distributed complex- valued random variables such that $\mathbb{E}\log(1+|\xi _0|)<\infty$. We consider random analytic functions of the form…

The manuscript reviews Dirichlet Series of important multiplicative arithmetic functions. The aim is to represent these as products and ratios of Riemann zeta-functions, or, if that concise format is not found, to provide the leading…

There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on…

We study sums of a random multiplicative function; this is an example, of number-theoretic interest, of sums of products of independent random variables (chaoses). Using martingale methods, we establish a normal approximation for the sum…

We consider the Lommel functions $s_{\mu,\nu}(z)$ for different values of the parameters $(\mu,\nu)$. We show that if $(\mu,\nu)$ are half integers, then it is possible to describe these functions with an explicit combination of polynomials…

Let $g$ be a entire function of exponential type on the complex plane $\mathbb C$, $Z=\{ z_k\}_{k=1,2,\dots}$ be a sequence of points in $\mathbb C$. We give a criterion for the existence of an entire function $f\neq 0$ of exponential type…

Recently, Andrews and Ghosh Dastidar (Ramanujan J. \textbf{69}, Art. No. 26, 2026) studied two interesting functions $SOME(n)$ and $DSOME(n)$, where $SOME(n)$ is the sum of all the odd parts in the partitions of $n$ minus the sum of all…

Having a function $f$ and a set of functionals $\{\mathcal{C}_{n}\}$, $c_n^f \equiv \mathcal{C}_n \left(f\right)$, one can interpret function approximation very generally as a construction of some function $\mathcal{A}_{N}^{f}$ such that…

Riemann's hypothesis, formulated in 1859, concerns the location of the zeros of Riemann's Zeta function. The history of the Riemann hypothesis is well known. In 1859, the German mathematician B. Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin…

We investigate a modified M\"obius $\mu$-function which is related to an infinite product of shifted Riemann zeta-functions. We prove conditional and unconditional upper and lower bounds for its summatory function, and, finally, we discuss…

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…
