Abstract

Let Z(t)=χ1/2(1/2+it)ζ(1/2+it)=eiθ(t)ζ(1/2+it)Z(t)=\chi^{-1/2}(1/2+it)\zeta(1/2+it)=e^{i\theta(t)}\zeta(1/2+it) be Hardy's function and g(n)g(n) be the nn-th Gram points defined by θ(g(n))=πn\theta(g(n))=\pi n. Titchmarsh proved that nNZ(g(2n))=2N+O(N3/4log3/4N)\sum_{n \leq N} Z(g(2n)) =2N+O(N^{3/4}\log^{3/4}N) and nNZ(g(2n+1))=2N+O(N3/4log3/4N)\sum_{n \leq N} Z(g(2n+1)) =-2N+O(N^{3/4}\log^{3/4}N). We shall improve the error terms to O(N1/4log3/4NloglogN)O(N^{1/4}\log^{3/4}N \log\log N).
