We give a general lower bound on the frequency of sign changes in the real coefficients of L-functions of the Selberg class. We in particular recover existing results in the cases of GL(2) and GL(3), and obtain new bounds in the case of…

We prove that $|\zeta(\sigma+it)|\le 70.7 |t|^{4.438 (1-\sigma)^{3/2}}\log^{2/3}|t|$ for $1/2\le\sigma\le 1$ and $|t|\ge 3$. As a consequence, we improve the explicit zero-free region for $\zeta(s)$, showing that $\zeta(\sigma+it)$ has no…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize our earlier work on the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function to linear combinations of logarithms of primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with constant real coefficients. Under the assumption of…

We prove explicit formulae for $\alpha$-points of $L$-functions from the Selberg class. Next we extend a theorem of Littlewood on the vertical distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ to the case of $\alpha$-points of…

Hybrid Euler-Hadamard products have previously been studied for the Riemann zeta function on its critical line and for Dirichlet L-functions in the context of the calculation of moments and connections with Random Matrix Theory. According…

Let $S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, defined as $$ S(t)=\dfrac{1}{\pi}\,\Im\log\zeta(1/2+it). $$ Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove that $$ S(t)=\Omega_{\pm}\bigg(\dfrac{\log t\log\log\log t}{\log\log…

We establish a uniform upper estimate for the values of zeta(s)/zeta(s+A), 0<= A, on the critical line (conditionally on the Riemann Hypothesis). We use this to give a variant, purely complex analytic, to Baez-Duarte's proof of a…

Small values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ are investigated, using the value distribution results of A. Selberg. This gives an asymptotic formula for $\mu(\{0 < t \le T : |\zeta(1/2+it)| \le c\})$. Some related problems involving values of…

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…

Let $1/2\leq\beta<1$, $p$ be a generic prime number and $f_\beta$ be a random multiplicative function supported on the squarefree integers such that $(f_\beta(p))_{p}$ is an i.i.d. sequence of random variables with distribution…

Let $S(t,f)=\pi^{-1}\arg L(1/2+it, f)$, where $f$ is a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $2$ and prime level $q$. In this paper, we establish an unconditional asymptotic formula for the moments of $S(t,f)$, providing a level aspect…

In order to study the analytic properties of the Goldbach generating function we consider a smooth version, similar to the Chebyshev function for the Prime Number Theorem. In this paper, we obtain explicit numerical estimates for the…

We define an axiomatic class of L-functions extending the Selberg class. We show in particular that one can recast the traditional conditions of an Euler product, analytic continuation and functional equation in terms of distributional…

In [Yan22a], we defined so-called ``log-type" GCD sums and proved the lower bounds $\Gamma^{(\ell)}_1(N) \gg_{\ell} \left(\log\log N\right)^{2+2\ell}$. We will establish the upper bounds $\Gamma^{(\ell)}_1(N)\ll_{\ell} \left(\log \log…

This is an expanded version of the author's lecture at the XX Congresso U.M.I., held in Siena in September 2015. After a brief review of L-functions, we turn to the classical converse theorems of H.Hamburger, E.Hecke and A.Weil, and to some…

We derive integral representations for the Rankin-Selberg L-functions on GL(3) x GL(1) and GL(3) x GL(2) by a process of unipotent averaging at archimedean places. A key feature of our result is that it allows one to fix the choice of test…

In this paper, we establish new explicit bounds for the Mertens function $M(x)$. In particular, we compare $M(x)$ against a short-sum over the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$, whose difference we can bound using…

We prove some new bounds for the maximum of Riemann zeta-function on very short segments of the critical line. All the theorems are based on the Riemann hypothesis.

A short proof of the generalized Riemann hypothesis (gRH in short) for zeta functions $\zeta_{k}$ of algebraic number fields $k$ - based on the Hecke's proof of the functional equation for $\zeta_{k}$ and the method of the proof of the…

We develop a formal group--theoretic framework for the Riemann zeta function by treating its Euler product as an element of the multiplicative formal group $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}_m$ and its logarithm as the associated formal group logarithm.…
