We derive formulas for the terms in the conjectured asymptotic expansions of the moments, at the central point, of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions, $L(1/2,\chi_d)$, and also of the $L$-functions associated to quadratic twists of an…

We obtain in closed form averages of polynomials, taken over hermitian matrices with the Gaussian measure involved in the Kontsevich integral, and prove a conjecture of Witten enabling one to express analogous averages with the full (cubic…

We improve unconditional estimates on $\Delta_k(x)$, the remainder term of the generalised divisor function, for large $k$. In particular, we show that $\Delta_k(x) \ll x^{1 - 1.889k^{-2/3}}$ for all sufficiently large fixed $k$.

Consider the divisor sum $\sum_{n\leq N}\tau(n^2+2bn+c)$ for integers $b$ and $c$. We extract an asymptotic formula for the average divisor sum in a convenient form, and provide an explicit upper bound for this sum with the correct main…

The author in [7] was proved the generalized remainder and quotient theorems of polynomial in one indeterminate where the divisor is complete factorization to linear factors. In this paper we give the formula for the generalized remainder…

We prove a bound for quintilinear sums of Kloosterman sums, with congruence conditions on the "smooth" summation variables. This generalizes classical work of Deshouillers and Iwaniec, and is key to obtaining power-saving error terms in…

We exploit the properties of a sequence of functions that approximate the divisor functions and combine them with an analytical formula of a delta-like sequence to give a new proof of a theorem of Gronwall on the asymptotic of the divisor…

Recently, Li obtained an asymptotic formula for a certain partial sum involving coefficients for the polynomial in the First Borwein conjecture. As a consequence, he showed the positivity of this sum. His result was based on a sieving…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. An asymptotic formula with the error term $O(T^{53/28+\epsilon})$ is established for the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^4(x)dx.$ Similar results are also established for some…

In this article, we investigate conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients. We prove some Omega results under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

In this note we investigate connections between zero density estimates for the Riemann zeta function and large value estimates for Dirichlet polynomials. It is well known that estimates of the latter type imply estimates of the former type.…

We prove Dual Smale's mean value conjecture for all odd polynomials with nonzero linear term. Precisely, if $P$ is an odd polynomial of degree $d\ge3$ with $P(0)=0$ and $P'(0)=1$, then there exists a critical point $\zeta$ of $P$ such that…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the $2k$th moments of partially smoothed divisor sums of the M\"obius function. When $2k$ is small compared with $A$, the level of smoothing, then the main contribution to the moments come from integers…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

We establish an asymptotic formula for the logarithmic mean value of a 1-bounded multiplicative function that is sharp in many cases of interest. We derive from it a variety of applications, making progress on several old problems. As a…

We evaluate the first moment of central values of the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions using the method of double Dirichlet series. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term of…

The prime divisors of a polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients are those primes $p$ for which $P(x) \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$ is solvable. Our main result is that the common prime divisors of any several polynomials are exactly the prime…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. The asymptotic formula of the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^k(x)dx$ is established for any integer $3\leq k\leq 9$ by an unified method. Similar results are also established for…

Additive divisor sums play a prominent role in the theory of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. There is a long history of determining sharp asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution sum of the ordinary divisor function. In…
