We study a subtle inequity in the distribution of unnormalized differences between imaginary parts of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We establish a precise measure which explains the phenomenon, that the location of each Riemann zero…

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : \Omega(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$\pi_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x :…

We establish a connection between a function and a series representation using a similar technique with that that Euler used to solve the Basel problem. Our result concerns a more general series from which one can obtain $\zeta(2k)$ as a…

The Ramsey number $r_k(s,n)$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every $N$-vertex $k$-graph contains either a copy of $K_s^{(k)}$ or an independent set of size $n$. A well-known conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal states that for any fixed…

The prime numbers and the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are globally linked by the explicit formula of analytic number theory. Whether they share a hidden, scale-by-scale geometric symmetry has remained unexplored. We…

For a fixed integer $l\geq 1$, let $R(t)$ denote the error term in the Weyl's law of a $(2l+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg manifold with the metric $g_l.$ In this paper we shall prove the asymptotic formula of the $k$-th power moment for any…

Let $k \geq 3$. We prove the following three bounds for the matching number, $\alpha'(G)$, of a graph, $G$, of order $n$ size $m$ and maximum degree at most $k$. If $k$ is odd, then $\alpha'(G) \ge \left( \frac{k-1}{k(k^2 - 3)} \right) n \,…

We study the $k$:th raw moment of a variable $R$ following the binomial distribution $\text{B}(n, p)$, where $n/k \rightarrow \beta > 0$. It is known that $\mathbb{E}(R^k)$ is bounded both from below and from above by functions of the form…

Let $K(=K_{n,\theta})$ be a positive integer-valued random variable whose distribution is given by ${\rm P}(K = x) = \bar{s}(n,x) \theta^x/(\theta)_n$ $(x=1,\ldots,n) $, where $\theta$ is a positive number, $n$ is a positive integer,…

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.

An explicit subconvex bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$ is proved. Previous subconvex bounds relied on an incorrect version of the Kusmin-Landau lemma. After accounting for the needed correction…

We study the extent of independence needed to approximate the product of bounded random variables in expectation, a natural question that has applications in pseudorandomness and min-wise independent hashing. For random variables whose…

We show that for any odd $k$ and any instance of the Max-kXOR constraint satisfaction problem, there is an efficient algorithm that finds an assignment satisfying at least a $\frac{1}{2} + \Omega(1/\sqrt{D})$ fraction of constraints, where…

For an even integer $k$, let $r_{2k}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $2k$ squares. The quantity $r_{2k}(n)$ is appoximated by the classical singular series $\rho_{2k}(n) \asymp n^{k-1}$. Deligne's bound on the…

We answer several questions of P. Erdos and R. Graham by showing that for any rational number r > 0, there exist integers n1, n2, ..., nk, k variable, where N < n1 < n2 < ... < nk < (e^r + o_r(1) ) N, such that r = 1/n1 + 1/n2 + ... + 1/nk.…

Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $\gamma$ denote Euler's constant and $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote…

We obtain global explicit numerical bounds, with best possible constants, for the differences $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\omega(k)-\log\log n$ and$ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\Omega(k)-\log\log n$, where $\omega(k)$ and $\Omega(k)$ refer to…

For rational $1<r\leq 2$, an undirected $r$-power is a word of the form $xyx'$, where $x$ is nonempty, $x'\in\{x,x^\mathrm{R}\}$, and $|xyx'|/|xy|=r$. The undirected repetition threshold for $k$ letters, denoted $\mathrm{URT}(k)$, is the…

Many NP-complete constraint satisfaction problems appear to undergo a "phase transition'' from solubility to insolubility when the constraint density passes through a critical threshold. In all such cases it is easy to derive upper bounds…

A $k$-configuration is a collection of $k$ distinct integers $x_1,\ldots,x_k$ together with their pairwise arithmetic means $\frac{x_i+x_j}{2}$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq k$. Building on recent work of Filmus, Hatami, Hosseini and Kelman on…
