Conditionally on the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain bounds of the correct order of magnitude for the 2k-th moment of the Riemann zeta-function for all positive real k < 2.181. This provides for the first time an upper bound of the correct…
We present several formulae for the large-$t$ asymptotics of the modified Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta_1(x,s),x>0,s=\sigma+it,0<\sigma\leq1,t>0,$ which are valid to all orders. In the case of $x=0$, these formulae reduce to the asymptotic…
Let $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the mixed moment of the product of $\zeta(s)$ and $L(s,f)$ on the critical line. Similarly, we prove an asymptotic formula for the mixed moment of the…
This paper describes a method to compute lower bounds for moments of $\zeta$ and $L$-functions. The method is illustrated in the case of moments of $|\zeta(\frac 12+it)|$, where the results are new for small moments $0< k<1$.
We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of a product of two Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line, which has a power saving in the error term and which is uniform with respect to the involved Dirichlet characters. As…
The authors conjecture an asymptotic expression for the sixth power moment of the Riemann zeta function. They establish related results on the asymptotics of the zeta function that support the conjecture.
We prove an asymptotic formula with four main terms for the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions unconditionally. Our proof is based on the work of Li , Soundararajan, and Soundararajan-Young. Our proof requires several new…
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain an upper bound for the moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Our bound is nearly as sharp as the conjectured asymptotic formulae for these moments. The method extends to moments…
t is proved in this paper that there is a fine correlation between the values of $|\zeta(1/2+i\varphi(t)/2)|^4$ and $|\zeta(1/2+it)|^2$ which correspond to two segments with gigantic distance each from other. This new asymptotic formula…
In this paper we extend a result on the asymptotics of moments of certain cotangent sums associated to the Estermann and Riemann zeta functions established in a previous paper for integer exponents to arbitrary positive real exponents.
Let $-1/2<a<0$ be a fixed real number and \begin{equation*} \Delta_{a}(x)=\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n\leq x} \sigma_a(n)-\zeta(1-a)x-\frac{\zeta(1+a)}{1+a}x^{1+a}+\frac{1}{2}\zeta(-a). \end{equation*} In this paper, we investigate the…
We study the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s= \frac{1}{2}$. We show an asymptotic formula under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and obtain a precise lower bound unconditionally. The proofs of these results…
The leading asymptotic behaviour as $t\to \infty$ of the celebrated Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s), \ s = \sigma + it, \quad 0<\sigma<1, \quad t>0 , \ t\to\infty,$ can be expressed in terms of a transcendental sum. The sharp estimation of…
Motivated by a probabilistic analysis of a simple game (itself inspired by a problem in computational learning theory) we introduce the \emph{moment zeta function} of a probability distribution, and study in depth some asymptotic properties…
The aim of the present work is to exhibit a new proof of the explicit spectral expansion for the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function that was established by the second named author a decade ago. Our proof is new, particularly in the…
A new method for continuing the usual Dirichlet series that defines the Riemann zeta function ${\zeta}(s)$ is presented. Numerical experiments demonstrating the computational efficacy of the resulting continuation are discussed.
We analyse a collection of mixed moments of the Riemann zeta function and establish the validity of asymptotic formulae. Such examinations are performed both unconditionally and under the assumption of a weaker version of the $abc$…
If $Z(t) = \chi^{-1/2}(1/2+it)\zeta(1/2+it)$ denotes Hardy's function, where $\zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s)$ is the functional equation of the Riemann zeta-function, then it is proved that $$ \int_0^T Z(t)\d t = O_\e(T^{1/4+\e}). $$
We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…
We obtain, for $T^\epsilon \le U=U(T)\le T^{1/2-\epsilon}$, asymptotic formulas for $$ \int_T^{2T}(E(t+U) - E(t))^2 dt,\quad \int_T^{2T}(\Delta(t+U) - \Delta(t))^2 dt, $$ where $\Delta(x)$ is the error term in the classical divisor problem,…
