We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes. The latter have applications to…

For $X(n)$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we study the maximal size of the random Dirichlet polynomial $$ D_N(t) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n \leq N} X(n) n^{it}, $$ with $t$ in various ranges. In particular, for fixed $C>0$ and…

We use the weighted version of the arithmetic-mean-geometric-mean inequality to motivate new results about Zaremba's function, $z(n) = \sum_{d|n} \frac{\log d}{d}$. We investigate record-setting values for $z(n)$ and the related function…

Let $\nu=(\nu_1,\ldots,\nu_n)\in (-1,\vc)^n$, $n\ge 1$, and let $\mathcal{L}_\nu$ be a self-adjoint extension of the differential operator \[ L_\nu := \sum_{i=1}^n \left[-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i^2} + x_i^2 + \frac{1}{x_i^2}(\nu_i^2 -…

The sum formula is a basic identity of multiple zeta values that expresses a Riemann zeta value as a homogeneous sum of multiple zeta values of a given dimension. This formula was already known to Euler in the dimension two case,…
