Cancellation in exponential sum involving Möbius? [closed]
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 ...

Are the discriminants $-12$, $-16$, $-27$, $-28$ known to have class number $1$?
I have been studying imaginary quadratic fields with class number $1$. The Heegner-Stark theorem states there are $9$ fundamental discriminants with this property: $-3$, $-4$, $-7$, $-8$, $-11$, $-19$,...

Asymptotic expansion as $x \rightarrow \infty$ of $\sum_{n \le x} \lfloor\frac{x}{n}\rfloor \left\{{2\sqrt{\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\rfloor}}\right\}$
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} \...

Prove that $2\int_0^1 \frac{\operatorname{Li}_2(x(1-x))}{1-x+x^2}\mathrm{d}x=\int_0^1 \frac{\ln x \ln(1-x)}{1-x+x^2}\mathrm{d}x$
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 ...

Estimate for number of squarefree integers up to a given number using Perron's formula
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 ...

Prove that $\int_0^1\operatorname{Li}_2\left(\frac{1-x^2}{4}\right)\frac{2}{3+x^2}\,\mathrm dx= \frac{\pi^3 \sqrt{3}}{486}$
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})= \...

Convergence of Poincaré Series
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 $k$. ...

Convergence of Integral Expressions for ξ(s) Involving ψ'(x) and ψ''(x) in the Complex Plane
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}...

Does analytic continuation preserve equality after rearranging a Dirichlet-type double sum when one side is made absolutely convergent by a weight?
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 ...

Getting confused about log of the zeta function...
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 ...

Clean version of inequality for $\Gamma(z)$ - known?
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, ...

Why does this surplus-weighted Dirichlet sum reproduce the Riemann zeta function so closely?
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 $\...

Technical step in the proof of Linnik's theorem in Iwaniec-Kowalski (18.82)
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 ...

Why does $\sum_{1 \le m \le q/2} \frac{1}{m} \le \log q$ hold on page 199 of *Analytic Number Theory* by Iwaniec and Kowalski?
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 ...
