Riemann sums, a classical method for approximating the definite integral of a function, have been extensively studied in the past. However, their monotonic properties, while still of great importance, particularly in approximation theory…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of all primes and $\psi(n)=n\prod_{n\in \mathcal{P},p|n}(1+1/p)$ be the Dedekind psi function. We show that the Riemann hypothesis is satisfied if and only if $f(n)=\psi(n)/n-e^{\gamma} \log \log n <0$ for all…

Inspired by a classical result of R\'enyi, we prove that every even integer $N\geq 4$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a number with at most 395 prime factors. We also show, under assumption of the generalised Riemann hypothesis,…

We obtain results bounding the degree of the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1/\alpha_n$, where $\{\alpha_n\}$ is a sequence of algebraic integers satisfying certain algebraic conditions and growth conditions. Our results extend results of…

An equivalence of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) enables a direct bridge to the Young lattice. In specific, the classical threshold $\lim_{n\to\infty} \sigma(n)/(n \log\log n) = e^{\gamma} \approx 1.78107$, derived from the asymptotic behavior…

The primary aim of this chapter is, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Riemann's death, to explain how the idea of {\it Riemann sum} is linked to other branches of mathematics. The materials I treat are more or less classical and…

In 1915, Ramanujan proved asymptotic inequalities for the sum of divisors function, assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH). We consider a strong version of Ramanujan's theorem and define highest abundant numbers that are extreme with respect…

In this article, we studied the inverse Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn problem with the restricted sumset from two components $A$ and $B$ that are not necessarily the same. We give a completely elementary proof for the problem in $\mathbb{Z}$ and some…

We prove that suitable asymptotic formulae in short intervals hold for the problems of representing an integer as a sum of a prime and a square, or a prime square. Such results are obtained both assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and in the…

In this article we propose a revisitation of the well-known argument principle that may lead to the solution of the Riemann hypothesis. We are looking for collaborators.
