We prove precise conditional estimates for the third moment of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function, refining what is implied by the Selberg central limit theorem, both for the real and imaginary parts. These estimates match…

Furstenberg's $\times 2 \times 3$ conjecture has remained a central open problem in ergodic theory for over $50$ years, and it serves as the basic test case for a broad class of rigidity phenomena which are believed to hold in…

We proved two Three Circles Theorems for harmonic functions on manifolds in integral sense. As one application, on manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, whose tangent cone at infinity is the unique metric cone with unique conic…

In this article, we define a very important sequence of functions, all the functions of this sequence present behaviors very close to that of the Collatz function. The study of such functions allows us to obtain very interesting results…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with $0 < \phi dim (A) = m < \infty$ we prove that there always exist modules $M$ and $N$ such that $\phi(M) = m-1$ and $\phi (N) = 1$. On the other hand, we see an example of an algebra that not every…

The idea of generating integrals analogous to generating functions is first introduced in this paper. A new proof of the well-known Finite Harmonic Series Theorem in Analysis and Analytical Number Theory is then obtained by the method of…

In classical Hamiltonian theories, entropy may be understood either as a statistical property of canonical systems, or as a mechanical property, that is, as a monotonic function of the phase space along trajectories. In classical mechanics,…

In the present work we prove a number of surprising results about gaps between consecutive primes and arithmetic progressions in the sequence of generalized twin primes which could not have been proven without the recent fantastic…

Graphical functions are single-valued complex functions which arise from Feynman amplitudes. We study their properties and use their connection to multiple polylogarithms to calculate Feynman periods. For the zig-zag and two more families…

The edge-of-the-wedge theorem in several complex variables gives the analytic continuation of functions defined on the poly upper half plane and the poly lower half plane, the set of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with all coordinates in the…

The notion of microscopic state of the system at a given moment of time as a point in the phase space as well as a notion of trajectory is widely used in classical mechanics. However, it does not have an immediate physical meaning, since…

Collatz Conjecture (also known as Ulam's conjecture and 3x+1 problem) concerns the behavior of the iterates of a particular function on natural numbers. A number of generalizations of the conjecture have been subjected to extensive study.…

The piecewise-concave function may be used to approximate a wide range of other functions to arbitrary precision over a bounded set. In this short paper, this property is proven for three function classes: (a) the multivariate twice…

The theory of slice regular functions is nowadays widely studied and has found its elegant applications to a functional calculus for quaternionic linear operators and Schur analysis. However, much less is known about their boundary…

We give an optimal version of the classical ``three-gap theorem'' on the fractional parts of $n \theta$, in the case where $\theta$ is an irrational number that is badly approximable. As a consequence, we deduce a version of Kronecker's…

"Period collapse" refers to any situation where the period of the Ehrhart function of a polytope is less than the denominator of that polytope. We study several interesting situations where this occurs, primarily involving triangles. For…

The extended Riemann hypothesis (ERH) for Dedekind zeta functions remains one of the most elusive open problems in number theory. Over the last century, many equivalent statements to the classical Riemann hypothesis alone have been…

It is shown that if three distinct values of a meromorphic function f:C^n -> P^1 of hyper-order strictly less than 2/3 have forward invariant pre-images with respect to a translation t:C^n -> C^n, t(z)=z+c, then f is a periodic function…
