Let $\xi_0, \xi_1, \dots$ be i.i.d. random variables with zero mean and unit variance. We study the following four families of random analytic functions: $\sum_{k=0}^n \sqrt{\binom nk} \xi_k z^k$ (spherical polynomials), $\sum_{k=0}^\infty…

Let $\chi$ be a real and non-principal Dirichlet character, $L(s,\chi)$ its Dirichlet $L$-function and let $p$ be a generic prime number. We prove the following result: If for some $0\leq \sigma<1$ the partial sums $\sum_{p\leq…

Assume that all the Sylow subgroups of a finite group $G$ can be generated by $d$ elements. Then the expected number of elements of $G$ which have to be drawn at random, with replacement, before a set of generators is found, is at most…

Let $S_n$ be the sum of independent random variables with distribution $F$. Under the assumption that $-\log(1-F(x))$ is slowly varying, conditions for $$ \lim_{n\to\infty}\sup_{s\ge t_n}\left|{P[S_n>s]\over n(1-F(s))}-1\right| =0 $$ are…

We consider linear statistics of the scaled zeros of Dirichlet $L$--functions, and show that the first few moments converge to the Gaussian moments. The number of Gaussian moments depends on the particular statistic considered. The same…

The large degree asymptotics of the expected number of real zeros of a random trigonometric polynomial $$ T_n(x) = \sum_ {j=0} ^{n} a_j \cos (j x) + b_j \sin (j x), \ x \in (0,2\pi), $$ with i.i.d. real-valued standard Gaussian coefficients…

A numerical set is a co-finite subset of the natural numbers that contains zero. Its Frobenius number is the largest number in its complement. Each numerical set has an associated semigroup $A(T)=\{t\mid t+T\subseteq T\}$, which has the…

We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…

The average properties of the well-known Subset Sum Problem can be studied by the means of its randomised version, where we are given a target value $z$, random variables $X_1, \ldots, X_n$, and an error parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, and we…

Let $1/2\leq\beta<1$, $p$ be a generic prime number and $f_\beta$ be a random multiplicative function supported on the squarefree integers such that $(f_\beta(p))_{p}$ is an i.i.d. sequence of random variables with distribution…

Zeros of the Riemann zeta function and its derivatives have been studied by many mathematicians. Among, the number of zeros and the distribution of the real part of non-real zeros of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function have been…

In this paper, we use the Thue-Morse sequence and the paperfolding sequence to build a Dirichlet series that evaluates to a linear combination of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers and odd powers of $\pi$. In doing so, we…

We deal with the distribution of the fractional parts of $p^{\lambda}$, $p$ running over the prime numbers and $\lambda$ being a fixed real number lying in the interval $(0,1)$. Roughly speaking, we study the following question: Given a…

We study the value-distribution of Dirichlet polynomials on the critical line $\Re(s)=\tfrac{1}{2}$. As a consequence, we prove a corollary on small consecutive gaps between zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We also examine the…

We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some negative power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method…

We consider sums of the form $\sum \phi(\gamma)$, where $\phi$ is a given function, and $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in a given interval. We show how the numerical estimation of such…

The Mertens function, $M(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, is defined as the summatory function of the classical M\"obius function. The Dirichlet inverse function $g(n) := (\omega+1)^{-1}(n)$ is defined in terms of the shifted strongly…

Integer sequences where each element is determined by a previous randomly chosen element are investigated analytically. In particular, the random geometric series x_n=2x_p with 0<=p<=n-1 is studied. At large n, the moments grow…

Let \sigma(n) be the sum of divisors of a positive integer n. Robin's theorem states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the inequality \sigma(n)<e^\gamma n\log\log n for all n>5040 (\gamma is Euler's constant). It is a natural…

We explicitly evaluate a special type of multiple Dirichlet $L$-values at positive integers in two different ways: One approach involves using symmetric functions, while the other involves using a generating function of the values. Equating…
