For a fixed integer $k\ge 3$ and fixed $1/2 < \sigma > 1$ we consider $$ \int_1^T |\zeta(\sigma + it)|^{2k}dt = \sum_{n=1}^\infty d_k^2(n)n^{-2\sigma}T + R(k,\sigma;T), $$ where $R(k,\sigma;T) = o(T) (T\to\infty)$ is the error term in the…

Using as a main tool our recent result on the strict minimax inequality proved in [5], in this note we establish a multiplicity theorem for a problem of the type $$\cases{-K\left(\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u(x)|^2dx\right)\Delta u = h(x,u) & in…

In this article, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis implies a conjecture of Chandee on shifted moments of the Riemann zeta function. The proof is based on ideas of Harper concerning sharp upper bounds for the $2k$-th moments of the…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that $$\int_X^{2X}\Big|\sum_{x\leq n \leq x+h}\lambda(n) \Big|^2 dx \ll Xh(\log X)^6,$$ as $X\rightarrow \infty$, provided $h=h(X)\leq…

We establish in this paper sharp lower bounds for the $2k$-th moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line for all real $k \geq 0$.

Let $\omega^*(n) = \{d|n: d=p-1, \mbox{$p$ is a prime}\}$. We show that, for each integer $k\geq2$, $$ \sum_{n\leq x}\omega^*(n)^k \asymp x(\log x)^{2^k-k-1}, $$ where the implied constant may depend on $k$ only. This confirms a recent…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, $\zeta(s)$, at the point $s=\frac{1}{2}+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we present two proofs of the bound $$ |S(t)| \leq \left(\tfrac{1}{4} + o(1) \right)\tfrac{\log…

We study the $2k$-th moment of central values of the family of primitive cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions. We establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 1/2$ unconditionally for the cubic case and under the Lindel\"of…

The class of Dirichlet series associated with a periodic arithmetical function $f$ includes the Riemann zeta-function as well as Dirichlet $L$-functions to residue class characters. We study the value-distribution of these Dirichlet series…

We study the problem of obtaining asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$ and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$, where $\Lambda$ is the von Mangoldt function, $d_k$ is the $k^{\operatorname{th}}$…

Let $S(t) = \frac{1}{\pi}\Im \log\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)$. We prove an unconditional lower bound on the measure of the sets $\{t\in [T,2T] \colon S(t) \geq V\}$ for $\sqrt{\log\log T} \leq V \ll \left(\frac{\log T}{\log \log…

We improve the error terms in the Davenport-Heilbronn theorems on counting cubic fields to $O(X^{2/3 + \epsilon})$. This improves on separate and independent results of the authors and Shankar and Tsimerman. The present paper uses the…

Given a multiplicative function $f$, we let $S(x,f)=\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ be the associated partial sum. In this note, we show that lower bounds on partial sums of divisor-bounded functions result in lower bounds on the partial sums…

The main task of this work is to give an improvement for the upper bounds of the Laplace transform $$\int_0^{+\infty}\Bigl|\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)\Bigr|^{2\beta}e^{-\delta t}dt \ll_{\beta,\varepsilon}…

N. Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can…

Given $\pi \in S_n$, let $Z_{n,k}(\pi)=\sum_{1\leq i_1<\dots<i_k\leq n} \mathbf{1}(\{ \pi_{i_1}<\dots<\pi_{i_k}\}$ denote the number of increasing subsequences of length $k$. Consider the "generalized Ulam problem," studying the…

We prove mod-Gaussian convergence for a Dirichlet polynomial which approximates $\operatorname{Im}\log\zeta(1/2+it)$. This Dirichlet polynomial is sufficiently long to deduce Selberg's central limit theorem with an explicit error term.…

We prove the existence of multiple solutions for the following sixth-order $p(x)$-Kirchhoff-type problem: $-M(\int_\Omega \frac{1}{p(x)}|\nabla \Delta u|^{p(x)}dx)\Delta^3_{p(x)} u = \lambda f(x)|u|^{q(x)-2}u + g(x)|u|^{r(x)-2}u + h(x) \ \…

We improve using elementary means an explicit bound on the divisor function due to Friedlander and Iwaniec. Consequently we modestly improve a result regarding a sieving inequality for Gaussian sequences.

Building on work in \cite{AB24} on the Riemann zeta function at height $T$ off the critical line, we prove an unconditional lower bound on the critical line for real large deviations of the order $V\sim\alpha\log\log T$ for any $\alpha>0.$…
