The $2$kth pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ are, following Conrey and Gamburd, the $2k$th integral moments of the partial sums of $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line. For fixed $k>1/2$, these moments are known to grow like…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis and a bound for the negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function (resp. Dirichlet $L$-functions), we prove the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the normalized partial…

We examine the size of $E_{2}(T)$, the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\int_{0}^{T} |\zeta(1/2 + it)|^{4}\, dt$ where $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. We make improvements in the powers of $\log T$ in the known bounds for…

The leading asymptotic behaviour as $t\to \infty$ of the celebrated Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s), \ s = \sigma + it, \quad 0<\sigma<1, \quad t>0 , \ t\to\infty,$ can be expressed in terms of a transcendental sum. The sharp estimation of…

We establish sharp upper bounds for the $2k$th moment of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line, for all real $0 \leqslant k \leqslant 2$. This improves on earlier work of Ramachandra, Heath-Brown and Bettin-Chandee-Radziwi\l\l

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/2\pi)$ with $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) +…
