Associative photoproduction of $\omega$-meson and $N^{*}(1440)$ on nucleons, $\gamma+N\to\omega+N^{*}(1440)$, in the near threshold region is investigated in a framework employing effective Lagrangians. Besides $\pi$-exchange in t-channel,…
Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $s=\tfrac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we give a new and simple proof of the sharpest known bound for $S(t)$. We discuss a generalization of this bound…
