The function $\sum_{p\leq x} \frac{1}{p} - \log\log(x) - M$ is known to change sign infinitely often, but so far all calculated values are positive. In this paper we prove that the first sign change occurs well before $\exp(495.702833165)$.

An improved estimate is given for $|\theta(x) -x|$, where $\theta(x) = \sum_{p\leq x} \log p$. Three applications are given: the first to arithmetic progressions that have points in common, the second to primes in short intervals, and the…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms $|\pi(x)-\text{li}(x)|$, $|\theta(x)-x|$ and $|\psi(x)-x|$ appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all…

We will show that the number of integers $\leq x$ that can be written as the square of an integer plus the square of a prime equals $\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac {x}{\log x}$ minus a secondary term of size $x/(\log x)^{ 1+\delta+o(1)}$, where…

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(n)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo integer $n\geq 1$. We prove that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that if $x^{1-\delta}\log^3 x = o(y)$, then $$ \frac1y \sum_{a<y} \frac1x…

Let $a>1$. Denote by $l_a(p)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo $p$. We look for an estimate of sum of $\frac{l_a(p)}{p-1}$ over primes $p\leq x$ on average. When we average over $a\leq N$, we observe a statistic of $C\mathrm{Li}(x)$.…

In this work, we show that for all $t\geq e$, \[|\zeta(1+it)|\leq 0.6443 \log t. \] The equality is achieved when $t=17.7477$. We also use the Riemann-Siegel formula and numerical computations to show that \[|\zeta(1+it)|\leq\frac{1}{2}\log…

We improve the unconditional explicit bounds for the error term in the prime counting function $\psi(x)$. In particular, we prove that, for all $x>2$, we have \[ \left| \psi(x)-x \right| < 9.22106 \, x \, (\log x)^{3/2}…

Let $t \in \mathbb{N}$, $\eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q \leq x^{5/12-\eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $\chi^*$ (if it exists).…

In this paper we provide an explicit bound for $|\zeta(1+it)|$ in the form of $|\zeta(1+it)|\leq \min\left(\log t, \frac{1}{2}\log t+1.93, \frac{1}{5}\log t+44.02 \right)$. This improves on the current best-known explicit bound of…

This article proves the bound $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2} + it)|\leq 0.732 t^{\frac{1}{6}} \log t$ for $t \geq 2$, which improves on a result by Cheng and Graham. We also show that $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|\leq 0.732 |3.3081+it|^{\frac{1}{6}} \log…

The sequence of 1/2-discrepancy sums of $\{x + i \theta \bmod 1\}$ is realized through a sequence of substitutions on an alphabet of three symbols; particular attention is paid to $x=0$. The first application is to show that any asymptotic…

We show that the functions $\sum_{p\leq x} (\log p)/p - \log x - E$ and $\sum_{p\leq x} 1/p - \log \log x -B$ change sign infinitely often, and that under certain assumptions, they exhibit a strong bias towards positive values. These…

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(p)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo primes $p$. We prove that if $\frac{x}{\log x\log\log x}=o(y)$, then $$\frac 1 y \sum_{a\leq y}\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{1}{l_a(p)}=\log x + C\log\log…

This article provides a proof that the Ramanujan's Inequality given by, $$\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big)$$ holds unconditionally for every $x\geq \exp(43.5102147)$. In case for an alternate proof of the result stated…

Helfgott proved that there exists a $\delta>0$ such that if $S$ is a symmetric generating subset of $SL(2,p)$ containing 1 then either $S^3=SL(2,p)$ or $|S^3|\geq |S|^{1+\delta}$. It is known that $\delta\geq 1/3024$. Here we show that…

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 =…

Let $V(T)$ denote the number of sign changes in $\psi(x) - x$ for $x\in[1, T]$. We show that $\liminf_{\;T\rightarrow\infty} V(T)/\log T \geq \gamma_{1}/\pi + 1.867\cdot 10^{-30}$, where $\gamma_{1} = 14.13\ldots$ denotes the ordinate of…

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…
