We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…

In this paper, we use methods of exponential sums to derive a formula for estimating effective upper bounds of $|\zeta'(1/2+it)|$. Different effective upper bounds can be obtained by choosing different parameters.

We study the sums $$ S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor\right) $$ when $f$ is supported on $r$th powers with $r\geq 2$. This restriction allows us to give nontrivial estimates for one of the error terms in…

In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums \[M_{k,\omega}(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{p_{1}(n)> y\\ n\leq x} } \mu(n) {\omega(n)-1\choose k-1},\] where $y$ can grow with $x$ but we…

The main objective of this article is to study the exponential sums associated to Fourier coefficients of modular forms supported at numbers having a fixed set of prime factors. This is achieved by establishing an improvement on…

We look at upper bounds for the count of certain primes related to the Fermat numbers $F_n=2^{2^n}+1$ called elite primes. We first note an oversight in a result of Krizek, Luca and Somer and give the corrected, slightly weaker upper bound.…

We consider Birkhoff sums of functions with a singularity of type 1/x over rotations and prove the following limit theorem. Let $S_N= S_N(\alpha,x)$ be the N^th non-renormalized Birkhoff sum, where $x in [0,1)$ is the initial point,…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of the primes. We consider a class of random multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that $\{f(p)\}_{p\in\mathcal{P}}$ form a sequence of $\pm1$ valued independent random…

In this note, we mainly show the analogue of one of Alladi's formulas over $\mathbb{Q}$ with respect to the Dirichlet convolutions involving the M\"{o}bius function $\mu(n)$, which is related to the natural densities of sets of primes by…

We offer some comments on series involving the M$\ddot{o}$bius function which approximate sums over primes. To accomplish this, we utilize the derivative of the Gram series by applying Riemann-Stieltjes integration. We offer a new formula…

This article provides new asymptotic results for the summatory Mobius function $\sum_{p \leq x} \mu(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right )$ and the summatory Liouville function $\sum_{p \leq x} \lambda(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right…

We extend some methods of bounding exponential sums of the type $\displaystyle\sum_{n\le N}e^{2\pi iag^n/p}$ to deal with the case when $g$ is not necessarily a primitive root. We also show some recent results of Shkredov concerning…

In the work we shall present formulas to sum Lambert series using Euler's q-exponential functions, and several Lambert series associated with well-known arithmetic functions are given as examples. These functions are: the M\"{o}bius…

Using a recent verification of the Riemann hypothesis up to height $3\cdot 10^{12}$, we provide strong estimates on $\pi(x)$ and other prime counting functions for finite ranges of $x$. In particular, we get that…

We provide numerical bounds for $\Sigma(X)=\sum_{\substack{d_1,d_2\le X}}\frac{\mu(d_1)\mu(d_2)}{[d_1,d_2]}$. We show in particular that $0\le \Sigma(X)\le 17/25$ for every $X\ge2$.

We introduce M\"obius functions of higher rank, a new class of arithmetic functions so that the classical M\"obius function is of rank 2. With this idea, we evaluate Dirichlet series on the sum of the reciprocal square of all $r$-free…

Let ${\mathcal H}$ be a multiplicative subgroup of $\mathbb{F}_p^*$ of order $H>p^{1/4}$. We show that $$ \max_{(a,p)=1}\left|\sum_{x\in {\mathcal H}} {\mathbf{\,e}}_p(ax)\right| \le H^{1-31/2880+o(1)}, $$ where ${\mathbf{\,e}}_p(z) =…

We improve an existing result on exponential quadrilinear sums in the case of sums over multiplicative subgroups of a finite field and use it to give a new bound on exponential sums with quadrinomials.

Let $\nu_{f}(n)$ be the $n$-th nomalized Fourier coefficient of a Hecke--Maass cusp form $f$ for ${\rm SL}(2,\Z)$ and let $\alpha$ be a real number. We prove strong oscillations of the argument of $\nu_{f}(n)\mu (n) \exp (2\pi i n \alpha)$…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of solutions $(m, n)\in \mathbb{N}^2$ to the inequality $ | \alpha^n - \beta^m | \leq x $ when $x$ tends to infinity. Here $\alpha, \beta$ are given multiplicatively independent…
