Let $V(T)$ denote the number of sign changes in $\psi(x) - x$ for $x\in[1, T]$. We show that $\liminf_{\;T\rightarrow\infty} V(T)/\log T \geq \gamma_{1}/\pi + 1.867\cdot 10^{-30}$, where $\gamma_{1} = 14.13\ldots$ denotes the ordinate of…

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…

By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms $|\pi(x)-\text{li}(x)|$, $|\theta(x)-x|$ and $|\psi(x)-x|$ appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all…

We will provide a new type of zero-density estimate for $\zeta(s)$ when $\sigma$ is sufficiently close to $1$. In particular, we will show that $N(\sigma,T)$ can be bounded by an absolute constant when $\sigma$ is sufficiently close to the…

In this paper, we establish new bounds for classical prime-counting functions. All of our bounds are explicit and assume the Riemann Hypothesis. First, we prove that $|\psi(x) - x|$ and $|\vartheta(x) - x|$ are bounded from above by…

In this article, we prove an explicit bound for $N(\sigma,T)$, the number of zeros of the Riemann zeta function satisfying $\sigma < \Re s <1 $ and $0 < \Im s < T$. This result provides a significant improvement over Rosser's bound for…

In this article, we improve the recent work of Hasanalizade, Shen, and Wong by establishing \[ \left| N (T) - \frac{T}{ 2 \pi} \log \left( \frac{T}{2\pi e}\right) \right|\le 0.10076\log T+0.24460\log\log T+8.08344, \] for every $T\ge e$,…

Let $\delta>0$ and $\sigma=\frac{1}{2}+\tfrac{\delta}{\log T}$. We prove that, for any $\alpha>0$ and $V\sim \alpha\log \log T$ as $T\to\infty$, $\frac{1}{T}\text{meas}\big\{t\in [T,2T]: \log|\zeta(\sigma+\rm{i} \tau)|>V\big\}\geq…

For $V\sim \alpha \log\log T$ with $0<\alpha<2$, we prove \[ \frac{1}{T}\text{meas}\{t\in [T,2T]: \log|\zeta(1/2+ {\rm i} t)|>V\}\ll \frac{1}{\sqrt{\log\log T}} e^{-V^2/\log\log T}. \] This improves prior results of Soundararajan and of…

Prime number theorem asserts that (at large $x$) the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ is approximately the logarithmic integral $\mbox{li}(x)$. In the intermediate range, Riemann prime counting function $\mbox{Ri}^{(N)}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^N…

Let $S(t) \;:=\; \frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle \pi}\arg \zeta(\frac{1}{2} + it)$. We prove that, for $T^{\,27/82+\varepsilon} \le H \le T$, we have $$ {\rm mes}\Bigl\{t\in [T, T+H]\;:\; S(t)>0\Bigr\} = \frac{H}{2} +…

This paper improves the bound on $|S(T)|$. The main result is to show that $|S(T)|\leq 0.111\log T + 0.275\log\log T + 2.450$, which is valid for all $T\geq e$.

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\frac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we sharpen the constant in the best currently known bounds for $S(t)$ and for the change of $S(t)$ in intervals. We…

In 1946, A. Selberg proved $N(\sigma,T) \ll T^{1-\frac{1}{4} \left(\sigma-\frac{1}{2}\right)} \log{T}$ where $N(\sigma,T)$ is the number of nontrivial zeros $\rho$ of the Riemann zeta-function with $\Re\{\rho\}>\sigma$ and…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

Let $0<\gamma_1\leq \gamma_2\leq \ldots$ denote the positive ordinates of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. A result first announced by Selberg states that there exist absolute constants $\Theta, \vartheta>0$ such that for…

Let $S(\sigma,t)=\frac{1}{\pi}\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\sigma+it$ in the critical strip. For $n\geq 1$ and $t>0$, we define \begin{equation*} S_{n}(\sigma,t) = \int_0^t…

It is known, that under the assumption of the generalized Riemannian hypothesis, the function $\pi(x, q, 1) - \pi(x, q, a)$ has infinitely many sign changes. In this article we give an upper bound for the least such sign change. Similarly,…

We consider the sum $\sum 1/\gamma$, where $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval $(0,T]$, and consider the behaviour of the sum as $T \to\infty$. We show that, after subtracting a…

Let $\psi$ be a positive function defined near the origin such that $\lim_{t\to 0^{+}}\psi(t)=0$. We consider the operator \begin{equation*} T_\theta f(x) = \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0^+} \int_\varepsilon^1 e^{i\gamma(t)}f(x-t)…
