Gonek, Graham, and Lee have shown recently that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) can be reformulated in terms of certain asymptotic estimates for twisted sums with von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$. Building on their ideas, for each…
In this paper we consider error sums of the form \[\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \varepsilon_m\Big( \,b_m\alpha - \frac{a_m}{c_m}\,\Big) \,,\] where $\alpha$ is a real number, $a_m$, $b_m$, $c_m$ are integers, and $\varepsilon_m=1$ or $\varepsilon_m…
The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is a long-standing open problem in mathematics. It conjectures that non-trivial zeros of the zeta function all have real part equal to 1/2. The extent of the consequences of RH is far-reaching and touches a wide…
Let $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$ denote a sequence of nonnegative integers. Let $0.a(1)a(2)...$ denote the real number obtained by concatenating the digit expansions, in a fixed base, of consecutive entries of $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$.…
We introduce a theory of probabilistic renormalization for series, the renormalized values being encoded in the expectation of a certain random variable on the set of natural numbers. We identify a large class of weakly renormalizable…
For a word $\pi$ and integer $i$, we define $L^i(\pi)$ to be the length of the longest subsequence of the form $i(i+1)\cdots j$, and we let $L(\pi):=\max_i L^i(\pi)$. In this paper we estimate the expected values of $L^1(\pi)$ and $L(\pi)$…
We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis and a bound for the negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function (resp. Dirichlet $L$-functions), we prove the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the normalized partial…
Motivated by the connection to the pair correlation of the Riemann zeros, we investigate the second derivative of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function, in particular the zeros of this function. Theorem 1 gives a zero-free region.…
In his groundbreaking work on pair correlation, Montgomery analyzed the distribution of the differences $\gamma'-\gamma$ between ordinates $\gamma$ of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis. In…
In this paper a new integral for the remainder of $\pi(x)$ is obtained. It is proved that there is an infinite set of the formulae containing miscellaneous parts of this integral.
Let $P^{\left(\frac 12\right)}(n)$ denote the middle prime factor of $n$ (taking into account multiplicity). More generally, one can consider, for any $\alpha \in (0,1)$, the $\alpha$-positioned prime factor of $n$, $P^{(\alpha)}(n)$. It…
We study a 2-parametric family of probability measures on an infinite-dimensional simplex (the Thoma simplex). These measures originate in harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group (S.Kerov, G.Olshanski and A.Vershik, Comptes Rendus…
We consider the ensemble of $N\times N$ real random symmetric matrices $H_N^{(R)}$ obtained from the determinant form of the Ihara zeta function associated to random graphs $\Gamma_N^{(R)}$ of the long-range percolation radius model with…
We establish the equivalence of conjectures concerning the pair correlation of zeros of $L$-functions in the Selberg class and the variances of sums of a related class of arithmetic functions over primes in short intervals. This extends the…
We consider the summatory function of the totient function after applications of a suitable smoothing operator and study the limiting behavior of the associated error term. Under several conditional assumptions, we show that the smoothed…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper bounds with explicit main terms for moduli of $\left(\cL'/\cL\right)(s)$ and $\log{\cL(s)}$ for $1/2+\delta\leq\sigma<1$, fixed $\delta\in(0,1/2)$ and for functions in…
We prove precise conditional estimates for the third moment of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function, refining what is implied by the Selberg central limit theorem, both for the real and imaginary parts. These estimates match…
We study the correlations of pairs of logarithms of positive integers at various scalings, either with trivial weigths or with weights given by the Euler function, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the…
