A simple question about the classical divisor problems

It is known (see Titchmarsh Chapter 12) that if you define $\gamma_k$ the lower bound of $\sigma > 0, \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{|\zeta(\sigma+it)|^{2k}}{|\sigma+it|^2}dt < \infty$, then $\frac{k-1} …

Upper bound for a subset of $\mathbb{N}^2$

Case 1: $m>0$, then $m \leq 4N^2$, so $d(m)=O((4N^2)^{\epsilon})= O(N^\epsilon)$, but then $c=a-b, d=a+b$ are divisors of $m$ so the number of such pairs lies in a $O(N^\epsilon)^2=O(N^\epsilon)$ set, …

On the spacing of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function

On the critical line, zeros are analyzed with the Hardy function which is real and has very good approximation formulas (Riemann-Siegel)- tons of references online including a fairly good book by Ivic …

Can any Hurwitz zeta function be written as an Euler product?

To add a little to the excellent answer above - it is known that for $0<a<1, a \ne 1/2$ the Riemann Hurwitz function has a lot of zeroes in the strip $1 < \sigma < 1+a$, so, in particular, there canno …

On Exercise 2.5.10 in Ram. M. Murty's book, "Problems in Analytic Number Theory."

The computation of the powers is wrong and the result stated in the book is incorrect and it should be $cx+ O(x^{(1+\delta-\delta^2)/(2-\delta)})+O(x^{\frac{(1-\delta)(1+\alpha)}{2-\delta}})$ If $y=x …

The Dirichlet series of the harmonic numbers

Let me put my comment in an answer since it seems to solve the problem at least in the analytic continuation, poles, residues etc way. Fix a level $k \ge 1$, then using the asymptotics $H_n=\log n+\ga …

Is there a collection of evidence and heuristic arguments against the Riemann hypothesis?

(note that the original question before being edited out had an argument about why RH is false and the post below was a refutation of that); the Ivic paper linked by @Mayank contains some good argumen …

Where can I find the problem by Lagarias?

The easiest way is to use Ivic's inequality $\sigma(n)<2.59n \log \log n, n \ge 7$ Then $H_n>\log n +\gamma$ so $e^{H_N}>e^{\gamma}n$ and $\log H_n > \log \log n$ for $n \ge 3$ hence: $2\exp(H_n)\log( …

Does $\int_{2}^{\infty} (\pi(x)-Li(x))x^{-s-1} \mathrm{d}x$ converge on the real axis for $s...

the answer to the original question is obviously we do not know (as noted the question is equivalent to RH), while the reasoning above doesn't work for the same reason that, for example, the fact that …

A generalization of strong primes

As requested I put my comment as a (partial) answer: Since we know there are infinitely many consecutive primes with finite gap $C$ (smallest proved $C$ as of now seems to be $246$), any $\theta$ for …

A question on an equivalence of RH

Note that if $1/2< \sigma <1, t \in \mathbb R$ one has $\frac{2\sigma-1}{\sigma^2+t^2} < \frac{2\sigma-1}{(1-\sigma)^2+t^2}$. By a little manipulation, one gets: $\frac{2\sigma}{\sigma^2+t^2} + \frac{ …

Why is so much work done on numerical verification of the Riemann Hypothesis?

I would add a few more comments to the very pertinent ones above: 1: We are lucky to have two things that work in our favor - an excellent representation of $\zeta$ on the critical line by a simple …

There is no Weil Zeta Function per se, but a bunch of such associated with various algebraic-geometric objects (the simplest ones are associated with elliptic curve structures on toruses); such functi …

Fourier coefficients of Selberg polynomials

As it is odd, we can write the Vaaler polynomial $V_K(x)=\sum_{1 \le k \le K}c_{k,K} \sin 2\pi kx$ and its fundamental property is that $|c_{k,K}| \le \frac{1}{\pi k}$. This follows easily from its de …
