In this article, we investigate the behaviour of values of zeta sums $\sum_{n\le x}n^{it}$ when $t$ is large. We show some asymptotic behaviour and Omega results of zeta sums, which are analogous to previous results of large character sums…
We investigate the intersections of the curve $\mathbb{R}\ni t\mapsto \zeta({1\over 2}+it)$ with the real axis. We show unconditionally that the zeta-function takes arbitrarily large positive and negative values on the critical line.
We provide explicit upper bounds of the order $\log t/\log\log t$ for $|\zeta'(s)/\zeta(s)|$ and $|1/\zeta(s)|$ when $\sigma$ is close to $1$. These improve existing bounds for $\zeta(s)$ on the $1$-line.
If $(k,\ell)$ is an exponent pair such that $k+\ell<1$, then we have $$ \int_1^T|\zeta(1/2+it)|^4|\zeta(\sigma+it)|^2dt \ll_\epsilon T^{1+\epsilon}\quad(\sigma > \min({5\over6},\max(\ell-k, {5k+\ell\over4k+1})), $$ while if $(k,\ell)$ is an…
A simple proof of the classical subconvexity bound $\zeta(1/2+it) \ll_\epsilon t^{1/6+\epsilon}$ for the Riemann zeta-function is given, and estimation by more refined techniques is discussed. The connections between the Dirichlet divisor…
In this article we prove an explicit sub-Weyl bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s = 1/2 + it$. In particular, we show that $|\zeta(1/2 + it)| \le 66.7\, t^{27/164}$ for $t \ge 3$. Combined, our results…
We show the estimates \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^{-1} dt =e^{-\gamma}/4 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) and \inf_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)| dt =e^{-\gamma} \pi^2/24 \delta^2+ O(\delta^4) as well as corresponding results for…
In this article we exhibit small and large values of $\zeta'(\rho)$ by applying Soundararajan's resonance method. Our results assume the Riemann hypothesis.
Using a polylogarithmic identity, we express the values of $\zeta$ at odd integers $2n+1$ as integrals over unit $n-$dimensional hypercubes of simple functions involving products of logarithms. We also prove a useful property of those…
Let $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ be fixed. We prove that $$ \max_{0 \leq t \leq T} |\zeta(\alpha+it)| \geq \exp\left(\frac{c_\alpha (\log T)^{1-\alpha}}{(\log \log T)^\alpha}\right) $$ for all sufficiently large $T$, where we can choose $c_\alpha =…
We study the distribution of large (and small) values of several families of $L$-functions on a line $\text{Re(s)}=\sigma$ where $1/2<\sigma<1$. We consider the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the $t$-aspect, Dirichlet $L$-functions in…
Small values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ are investigated, using the value distribution results of A. Selberg. This gives an asymptotic formula for $\mu(\{0 < t \le T : |\zeta(1/2+it)| \le c\})$. Some related problems involving values of…
We study the conditional upper bounds and extreme values of derivatives of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet $L$-functions near the 1-line. Let $\ell$ be a fixed natural number. We show that, if $|\sigma-1|\ll1/\log_2t$, then…
In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…
Using the resonance method, we obtain refined estimates for joint extreme values of the Riemann zeta function at harmonic points, improving upon Levinson's 1972 results and providing new insight into the behavior of the Riemann zeta…
It is proved that as $T \to \infty$, uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log_3 T) / (\log_4 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant \big(\mathbf…
An explicit estimate for the Riemann zeta function on the critical line is derived using the van der Corput method. An explicit van der Corput lemma is presented.
In this paper, we study lower bounds of a general family of $L$-functions on the $1$-line. More precisely, we show that for any $F(s)$ in this family, there exists arbitrary large $t$ such that $F(1+it)\geq e^{\gamma_F} (\log_2 t + \log_3…
We give three identities involving multiple zeta values of height one and of maximal height; an explicit formula for the height-one multiple zeta values, a regularized sum formula, and a sum formula for the multiple zeta values of maximal…
This is primarily an overview article on some results and problems involving the classical Hardy function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s). $$ In particular, we discuss the first…
