It's a result of Davenport that \begin{equation} \sum_{n\leq x}\mu(n)e^{i\alpha n}\ll\frac{x}{\log^Ax} \end{equation} for any $A>0$, and uniformly for $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. My question is: does ...

I have been studying imaginary quadratic fields with class number $1$. The Heegner-Stark theorem states there are $9$ fundamental discriminants with this property: $-3$, $-4$, $-7$, $-8$, $-11$, $-19$,...

We have $\left\lfloor x\right\rfloor$ as the floor function and $\left\{x \right\}$ as the fractional part. Looking for the asymptotic expansion as $x \rightarrow \infty$ of $$DW (x)=\sum_{n \le x} \...

I'd like to prove that $$2\int_0^1 \frac{\operatorname{Li}_2(x(1-x))}{1-x+x^2}\mathrm{d}x=\int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)}{1-x+x^2}\mathrm{d}x.$$ Ok, someone said that this holds, but I tried really ...

Let $Q(x)$ denote the number of squarefree integers up to $x$. I want to show using Perron's formula that $$ Q(x) = \frac{x}{\zeta(2)} + O(x^{1/2} \exp(-c \sqrt{\log x})), $$ where $c$ is a positive ...

I would like to prove that $$\int_0^1 \operatorname{Li}_2 \left(\frac{1-x^2}{4}\right) \frac{2}{3+x^2} \,\mathrm dx= \frac{\pi^3 \sqrt{3}}{486}.$$ It’s known that $\Im \operatorname{Li}_3(e^{2πi/3})= \...

I am reading Iwaniec’s Topics in Classical Automorphic Forms Chapter 3 on Poincaré Series. The set up is for some Fuchsian group of first kind $\Gamma$, some multiplier system $\theta$ of weight $k$. ...

Riemann's Zeta Function Page 17: note $\psi(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}e^{-n^{2}\pi x}$ \begin{equation} \xi(1/2+ti)=4\int_{1}^{+\infty}\frac{d[x^{3/2}\psi^{\prime}(x)]}{dx}x^{-1/4} \cos\left(\frac{t\ln x}...

Let $F(n,d)$ be an arithmetic function of two variables (for example $F(n,d)$ could involve $\mu(d)$, $\lambda(d)$, divisor functions). Then let $$ A(n) := \sum_{d \le n} F(n,d) $$ is always a finite ...

I am getting very confused with taking complex logarithm... I know that the $\zeta(s)$ has the Euler product $$\zeta(s) = \prod_p (1 - p^{-s})^{-1}$$ for $Re(s) > 1$. Furthermore, we can deduce ...

Let $z=x+i y$, $x\geq 1/2$. Is the following inequality true? $$|\Gamma(z)|\leq (2\pi)^{1/2} |z|^{x-1/2} e^{-\pi |y|/2}$$ If you allow a fudge factor such as $e^{\frac{1}{6|z|}}$ on the right side, ...

I’ve been experimenting with a surplus-weighted Dirichlet series that seems to replicate the local behavior of the Riemann zeta function. Below is the definition and a set of plots comparing it to $\...

Going through the proof of Linnik's theorem in Iwaniec and Kowalski's Analytic number theory, I came across an affirmation I don't really understand. On Page 440, starting from the explicit formula ...

I am reading about exponential sums in Analytic Number Theory by Iwaniec and Kowalski, page 199. At one point, they use the inequality $ \sum_{1 \le m \le q/2} \frac{1}{m} \le \log q. $ I understand ...
