The Riemann hypothesis, stating that the real part of all non-trivial zero points fo the zeta function must be $\frac{1}{2}$, is one of the most important unproven hypothesises in number theory. In this paper we will proof the Riemann…
A classical theorem of Paley asserts the existence of an infinite family of quadratic characters whose character sums become exceptionally large. In this paper, we establish an analogous result for characters of any fixed even order.…
By some hypergeometric summation theorems, the authors establish a series of new infinite summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers related to Riemann-Zeta function, with three different patterns.
We show that the Euler-MacLaurin formula for Riemann sums has an n-dimensional analogue in which intervals on the line get replaced by convex polytopes.
For absolutely convergent series we state explicitly a one-sided summation estimate that can be viewed as the discrete analogue of the change of variable formula on the half line. This estimate is implicit in Pascal Lef\`evre's recent…
Suppose that the Riemann hypothesis is false and $\rho_{*} = 1/2 + \eta_{*} + i \gamma_{*}$, $\eta_{*} > 0$, is a nontrivial zero of the Riemann $\zeta$-function off the critical line. Under the negation of the Riemann hypothesis for the…
We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for manifolds with a single asymptotically flat end, but otherwise arbitrary other ends, which can be incomplete and contain negative scalar curvature. The incompleteness and negativity is…
We study smoothed character sums involving $\sum_{m,n} ( \frac{m}{n} )_2$, where $( \frac{m}{n} )_2$ denotes the quadratic symbol in the Gaussian field. We extend previously known results to obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums…
Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer introduced a recipe to find asymptotic formulas for the sum of ratios of products of shifted L-functions. These ratios conjectures are very powerful and can be used to determine many statistics of L-functions,…
Nicolas criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis is based on an inequality that Euler totient function must satisfy at primorial numbers. A natural approach to derive this inequality would be to prove that a specific sequence related to that…
We give a uniform estimate and an inequality for solutions of an equation with Dirichlet boundary condition.
We present further results on a class of sums which involve complex powers of the distance to points in a two-dimensional square lattice and trigonometric functions of their angle, supplementing those in a previous paper (McPhedran {\em et…
The conjectured Robin inequality for an integer $n>7!$ is $\sigma(n)<e^\gamma n \log \log n,$ where $\gamma$ denotes Euler constant, and $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d | n} d $. Robin proved that this conjecture is equivalent to Riemann hypothesis…
The Riemann Hypothesis is not proved yet and this article gives a possible proof for the hypothesis which confirms that the only possible nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function has its real value equal to 1/2. From the result, the…
We consider the alternating Riemann zeta function $\zeta^*(s)= \sum^{\infty} _{ n=1} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^s}$, which converges if $Re (s)>0 .$ By using Rouche's theorem, the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem and by method of contradiction we…
We use the Jacobi theta function to give a representation of the modulus of the Riemann $\xi$ function. Based on this modulus representation, we show that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the validity of a family of polynomial…
We present further results on a class of sums which involve complex powers of the distance to points in a two-dimensional square lattice and trigonometric functions of their angle, supplementing those in a previous paper (McPhedran et al,…
The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…
We show that an almost trivial inequality for the first and second mean of a random variable can be used to give non-trivial improvements on deep results. As applications we improve on results on lower bounds for the Riemann zeta-function…
The paper presents several new sufficient conditions, as well as new equivalent criteria for the classical Riemann Hypothesis. Noteworthy are also other statements and remarks about $\zeta$ to be found throughout the paper.
