This paper studies combinations of the Riemann zeta function, based on one defined by P.R. Taylor, which was shown by him to have all its zeros on the critical line. With a rescaled complex argument, this is denoted here by ${\cal T}_-(s)$,…

The Riemann hypothesis states that all nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie in the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$. Hilbert and P\'olya suggested that one possible way to prove the Riemann hypothesis is to interpret the nontrivial zeros in…

In this Ph.D. thesis, written under the direction of D.B. Zagier and R.W. Bruggeman, we study the mock theta functions, that were introduced by Ramanujan. We show how they can be interpreted in the theory of (real-analytic) modular forms.…

We use the Prime Number Theorem to prove the existence of zero-free strips for the Riemann-zeta function. Precisely, we prove that there exists $\delta>0$ for which if $0\leq r<\delta $ then $\zeta(s)\neq 0$ for Re$(s)>1-r$.

The meromorphic function $W(s)$ introduced in the Riemann-Zeta function $\zeta(s) = W(s) \zeta(1-s)$ maps the line of $s = 1/2 + it$ onto the unit circle in $W$-space. $|W(s)| = 0$ gives the trivial zeroes of the Riemann-Zeta function…

In this paper, we derive a unified generalization of Ramanujan's transformation identities for the theta function $f(a,b)$, originally appearing in Ramanujan's Notebooks, Parts~III and IV. Using an approach based on residue-class…

For a given prime $p$, we study the properties of the $p$-dissection identities of Ramanujan's theta functions $\psi(q)$ and $f(-q)$, respectively. Then as applications, we find many infinite family of congruences modulo 2 for some…

This paper presents a new approach towards the Riemann Hypothesis. On iterative expansion of integration term in functional equation of the Riemann zeta function we get sum of two series functions. At the `non-trivial' zeros of zeta…

In this article, we study the zeta function $\zeta_q$ associated to the Laplace operator $\Delta_q$ acting on the space of the smooth $(0,q)$-forms with $q=0,\ldots,n$ on the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ endowed with…

After a brief introduction to Ramanujan's method of summation, we give an expansion of the Riemann Zeta function in the critical strip as a convergent series $\sum_{m\geq 0}x_m P_m(s) $ where the functions $P_m$ are polynomials with their…

The Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is defined as the infinite sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s}$, which converges when ${\rm Re}\,s>1$. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ lie on the line ${\rm Re}\,s=…

We obtain formulas for the coefficients of positive and negative powers of a partial theta function.

We present combinatorial and analytical results concerning a Sheffer sequence with a generating function of the form $G(x,z)=Q(z)^{x}Q(-z)^{1-x}$, where $Q$ is a quadratic polynomial with real zeros. By using the properties of Riordan…

The main aim of this paper is twofold. First we generalize, in a novel way, most of the known non-vanishing results for the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function by establishing the existence of an infinite sequence of regions in the…

Let $0<a\leq1, s\in\mathbb{C}$, and $\zeta(s,a)$ be the Hurwitz zeta-function. Recently, T.~Nakamura showed that $\zeta(\sigma,a)$ does not vanish for any $0<\sigma<1$ if and only if $1/2\leq a \leq1$. In this paper, we show that…

The research shows that Riemann proved that all of zeros of Riemann's zeta function are on $\sigma=1/2$ based on the functional equation \begin{align*} \pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma \left( \frac{s}{2} \right) \zeta(s)&={\frac{1}{s(s-1)} +…

In this paper, by applying a range of classic summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, we obtain a three-term identity for partial theta functions. It extends the Andrews-Warnaar partial theta function…

We introduce multiple versions of L-functions for Witten zeta functions. We study their algebraic and analytic properties. Especially we investigate the existence of zeros at negative integers. These results strongly suggest the universal…

We obtain infinite product expansions in the sense of Borcherds for theta functions associated with certain positive-definite binary quadratic and binary hermitian forms. Among other things, we show that every weight 1 binary theta function…

The Kronecker theta function is a quotient of the Jacobi theta functions, which is also a special case of Ramanujan's $_1\psi_1$ summation. Using the Kronecker theta function as building blocks, we prove a decomposition theorem for theta…
