A general technique for proving the irrationality of the zeta constants $\zeta(s)$ for odd $s = 2n + 1 \geq 3$ from the known irrationality of the beta constants $L(2n+1)$ is developed in this note. The results on the irrationality of the…

Several arguments against the truth of the Riemann hypothesis are extensively discussed. These include the Lehmer phenomenon, the Davenport-Heilbronn zeta-function, large and mean values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ on the critical line, and zeros…

We investigate the distribution of positive and negative values of Hardy's function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\chi(1/2+it)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s). $$ In particular we prove that $$ \mu\bigl(I_{+}(T,T)\bigr) \;\gg T\;…

In the context of mod-Gaussian convergence, as defined previously in our work with J. Jacod, we obtain lower bounds for local probabilities for a sequence of random vectors which are approximately Gaussian with increasing covariance. This…

We investigate explicit extreme values of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function in short intervals. As an application, we improve the result of Conrey and Turnage-Butterbaugh concerning $r$-gaps between zeros of the Riemann…

Assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, we prove a sharp upper bound on moments of shifted Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this to obtain conditional upper bounds on high moments of theta functions. Both of these results strengthen…

We prove a new linear relation for multiple zeta values. This is a natural generalization of the restricted sum formula proved by Eie, Liaw and Ong. We also present an analogous result for finite multiple zeta values.

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 $0< k<1$.

Let ${\cal Z}_1(s) = \int_1^\infty |\zeta({1\over2}+ix)|^2x^{-s}{\rm d}x (\sigma = \Re s > 1)$. A result concerning analytic continuation of ${\cal Z}_1(s)$ to $\bf C$ is proved, and also a result relating the order of ${\cal Z}_1(\sigma +…

In this paper, we investigate the sums of mutliple zeta(-star) values of height one: $Z_{\pm}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta(\{1\}^a,b+2)$, $Z_{\pm}^{\star}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta^{\star}(\{1\}^a,b+2)$. In particular, we prove that…

A general hypergeometric construction of linear forms in (odd) zeta values is presented. The construction allows to recover the records of Rhin and Viola for the irrationality measures of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, as well as to explain…

We obtain optimal lower bounds for moments of theta functions. On the other hand, we also get new upper bounds on individual theta values and moments of theta functions on average over primes. The upper bounds are based on bounds of…

Given any complex number $a$, we prove that there are infinitely many simple roots of the equation $\zeta(s)=a$ with arbitrarily large imaginary part. Besides, we give a heuristic interpretation of a certain regularity of the graph of the…

We prove that for $s=\sigma+it$ with $\sigma\ge0$ and $0<t\le x$, we have \[\zeta(s)=\sum_{n\le x}n^{-s}+\frac{x^{1-s}}{(s-1)}+\Theta\frac{29}{14} x^{-\sigma},\qquad \frac{29}{14}=2.07142\dots\] where $\Theta$ is a complex number with…

Some problems involving the classical Hardy function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it)\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s) $$ are discussed. In particular we discuss the odd moments of $Z(t)$, the distribution of its…

Several problems involving $E(T)$ and $E_2(T)$, the error terms in the mean square and mean fourth moment formula for $|\zeta(1/2+it)}$ are discussed. In particular, it is proved that $$ \int_0^T E(t)E_2(t)dt \ll_ T^{7/4}(\log…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $E(T)$ denote the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$. If $E^*(t) := E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/(2\pi))$ with $\Delta^*(x)…

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…
