Let $\psi$ be a function such that $\psi(x) \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty.$ Let $\lambda_{f}(n)$ be the $n$-th Hecke eigenvalue of a fixed holomorphic cusp form $f$ for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z}).$ We show that for any real valued…

We show that the analytic continuations of Helson zeta functions $ \zeta_\chi (s)= \sum_1^{\infty}\chi(n)n^{-s} $ can have essentially arbitrary poles and zeroes in the strip $ 21/40 < \Re s < 1 $ (unconditionally), and in the whole…

We prove that analogues of the Hardy-Littlewood generalised twin prime conjecture for almost primes hold on average. Our main theorem establishes an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $n=p_1p_2 \leq X$ such that $n+h$ is a…

Let $f$ be a smooth real function with strictly monotone first $k$ derivatives. We show that for a finite set $A$, with $|A+A|\leq K|A|$, $|2^kf(A)-(2^k-1)f(A)|\gg_k |A|^{k+1-o(1)}/K^{O_k(1)}$. We deduce several new sum-product type…

Plagne recently determined the asymptotic behavior of the function E(h), which counts the maximum possible number of essential elements in an additive basis for N of order h. Here we extend his investigations by studying asymptotic behavior…

In these lectures we first review the important properties of the Riemann $\zeta$-function that are necessary to understand the nature and importance of the Riemann hypothesis (RH). In particular this first part describes the analytic…

We prove Hypothesis H in full generality for ${\rm GL}_n$ over any number field. This result is a consequence of our stronger effective bound on Euler products involving Rankin--Selberg coefficients at prime ideal powers. The proof rests on…

A recent heuristic argument based on basic concepts in spectral analysis showed that the twin prime conjecture and a few other related primes counting problems are valid. A rigorous version of the spectral method, and a proof of the more…

Let $\gamma$ denote the imaginary parts of complex zeros $\rho = \beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta(s)$. The problem of analytic continuation of the function $G(s) := \sum\limits_{\gamma > 0}\gamma^{-s}$ to the left of the line $\Re s = -1$ is…

We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

For a fixed natural number $h$, we prove meromorphic continuation of the two-variable Dirichlet series $\sum_m r_2(m) \sigma_w(m + h) (m + h)^{-s + w}$ to $\mathbb{C}^2$ and use this to obtain asymptotics for $\sum_{m^2 + n^2 \leq X}…

The aim of this article is to investigate how various Riemann Hypotheses would follow only from properties of the prime numbers. To this end, we consider two classes of $L$-functions, namely, non-principal Dirichlet and those based on cusp…

We discuss how one could study asymptotics of cyclotomic quantities via the mean values of certain multiplicative functions and their Dirichlet series using a theorem of Delange. We show how this could provide a new approach to Artin's…

An extension of two finite trigonometric series is studied to derive closed form formulae involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function. The trigonometric series involves angles with a geometric series involving the powers of 3. These closed…

If a is a point in the domain of convergence of a planar power series f in a single variable x one con expand f into a planar power series in the variable (x-a). One arrives at the notion of planar analytic functions on any domain D in the…

Let $H = N^{\theta}, \theta > 2/3$ and $k \geq 1$. We obtain estimates for the following exponential sum over primes in short intervals: \[ \sum_{N < n \leq N+H} \Lambda(n) e(g(n)), \] where $g$ is a polynomial of degree $k$. As a…

For a function $\varphi$ in $L^2(0,1)$, extended to the whole real line as an odd periodic function of period 2, we ask when the collection of dilates $\varphi(nx)$, $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, constitutes a Riesz basis or a complete sequence in…
