In this paper, we establish hybrid results on Diophantine approximation with primes from short intervals. In particular, we prove the following result in a slightly modified form: If $\alpha$ is an irrational number having a continued…

Let $f$ be a primitive positive definite integral binary quadratic form of discriminant $-D$ and let $\pi_f(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$ which are represented by $f$. We prove several types of upper bounds for $\pi_f(x)$ within a…

The positivity of the sum from the title is the first condition in the well-known criterium for the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis suggested by X.-J. Li. In the paper this value is represented as an infinite sum with positive summands.

In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…

We establish explicit exponential convergence estimates for the renewal theorem, in terms of a uniform component of the inter arrival distribution, of its Laplace transform which is assumed finite on a positive interval, and of the Laplace…

This article considers the error term of the primes counting function. It applies some recent results on the densities of prime numbers in short intervals to derive an improvement of the error term from subexponential size to fractional…

We prove that if $x$ is large enough, namely $x\ge x_0$, then there exists a prime between $x(1- \Delta^{-1})$ and $x$, where $\Delta$ is an effective constant computed in terms of $x_0$. This improves some previous results of Ramar\'e and…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, this article discusses a new elementary argument that seems to prove that the maximal prime gap of a finite sequence of primes p_1, p_2, ..., p_n <= x, satisfies max {p_(n+1) - p_n : p_n <= x} <=…

In the present paper, we prove that the generalized Riemann hypothesis for the Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ is equivalent to the following bound: Let $k \geq 1$ and $\ell$ be positive real numbers. For any $\epsilon >0$, we have…

We introduce the the fractional Laplacian on a subgraph of a graph with Dirichlet boundary condition. For a lattice graph, we prove the upper and lower estimates for the sum of the first $k$ Dirichlet eigenvalues of the fractional…

This thesis determines some of the implications of non-universal and emergent universal statistics on arithmetic correlations and fluctuations of arithmetic functions, in particular correlations amongst prime numbers and the variance of the…

In this article, after recalling and discussing the conventional extremality, local extremality, stationarity and approximate stationarity properties of collections of sets and the corresponding (extended) extremal principle, we focus on…

We obtain sufficient conditions for an exponential type entire function not to have zeros in the open lower half-plane. An exact inequality containing the real and imaginary parts of such functions and their derivatives restricted to the…

A well-known result, due to Dirichlet and later generalized by de la Vallee-Poussin, expresses a relationship between the sum of fractional parts and the Euler-Mascheroni constant. In this paper, we prove an asymptotic relationship between…

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…

We show that for all large enough $x$ the interval $[x,x+x^{1/2}\log^{1.39}x]$ contains numbers with a prime factor $p > x^{18/19}.$ Our work builds on the previous works of Heath-Brown and Jia (1998) and Jia and Liu (2000) concerning the…

In this paper we study sums of Dirichlet series whose coefficients are terms of the Thue-Morse sequence and variations thereof. We find closed-form expressions for such sums in terms of known constants and functions including the Riemann…

The error term in the approximate functional equation for exponential sums involving the divisor function will be improved under certain conditions for the parameters of the approximate functional equation.

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

We estimate short exponential sums weighted by the Fourier coefficients of a Maass form. This requires working out a certain transformation formula for non-linear exponential sums, which is of independent interest. We also discuss how the…
