We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…

Erd\H{o}s first conjectured that infinitely often we have $\varphi(n) = \sigma(m)$, where $\varphi$ is the Euler totient function and $\sigma$ is the sum of divisor function. This was proven true by Ford, Luca and Pomerance in 2010. We ask…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, let $$ N^+_f(x)=\{n\leq x: n=k+f(k) \mbox{ for some } k\}. $$ Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain an upper bound for the 2k-th moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ for every positive integer k. Our bounds are nearly as sharp as…

We establish upper bounds for moments of zeta sums using results on shifted moments of the Riemann zeta function under the Riemann hypothesis.

Under the Riemann hypothesis, we use the distribution of zeros of the zeta function to get a lower bound for the maximum of some derivative of Hardy's function.

Assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, we prove a sharp upper bound on moments of shifted Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this to obtain conditional upper bounds on high moments of theta functions. Both of these results strengthen…

A sharper estimate for the summatory Euler phi function $\sum_{n \leq x} \varphi(n)$ is presented in this work. It improves the established estimate in the current mathematical literature. In addition, an estimate for its reciprocal…

In this paper, we give an approximate formula for the measure of extreme values for the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function and its iterated integrals. The result recovers the unconditional best result for the $\Omega$-result of…

In this article, we give explicit bounds of order $\log t$ for $\sigma$ close to $1$, for two quantities: $|\zeta'(\sigma +it)/\zeta(\sigma +it)|$ and $|1/\zeta(\sigma +it)|$. We correct an error in the literature, and especially in the…

We establish an omega theorem for logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta function near the 1-line by resonance method. We show that the inequality $\left| \zeta^{\prime}\left(\sigma_A+it\right)/\zeta\left(\sigma_A+it\right) \right|…

We propose a generic algorithm for computing the inverses of a multiplicative function under the assumption that the set of inverses is finite. More generally, our algorithm can compute certain functions of the inverses, such as their power…

We consider analytic functions of the Riemann zeta type, for which, if $s$ is a zero, so is $1-s$. We use infinite product representations of these functions, assuming their zeros to be of first order. We use exponential factors to…

We fix a gap in our proof of an upper bound for the number of positive integers $n\le x$ for which the Euler function $\varphi(n)$ has all prime factors at most $y$. While doing this we obtain a stronger, likely best-possible result.

We derive explicit upper bounds for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(\sigma + it)$ on the lines $\sigma = 1 - k/(2^k - 2)$ for integer $k \ge 4$. This is used to show that the zeta-function has no zeroes in the region $$\sigma > 1 -…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…

We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…

We study a weighted divisor function $\mathop{{\sum}'}\limits_{mn\leq x}\cos(2\pi m\theta_1)\sin(2\pi n\theta_2)$, where $\theta_i (0<\theta_i<1)$ is a rational number. By connecting it with the divisor problem with congruence conditions,…

We describe maximal, in a sense made precise, analytic continuations of germs at infinity of unary functions definable in the o-minimal structure R_an,exp on the Riemann surface of the logarithm. As one application, we give an upper bound…

Let G be a finite group with exactly k elements of largest possible order m. Let q(m) be the product of gcd(m,4) and the odd prime divisors of m. We show that |G|\le q(m)k^2/\phi(m) where \phi denotes Euler's totient function. This…
