$\zeta(s+1)/\zeta(s)$

If I understand correctly, what Scott wants is a citation for Franel's paper on (Farey series and) the Riemann Hypothesis. That would be Les suites de Farey et le problème des nombres premiers, Göttin …

Representations as a sum of cubes following Jacobi

I'm sure the sums you write down are used, in conjunction with the circle method, to find asymptotic expressions for the number of representations as sums of cubes, but if it were possible to do for c …

Minimum number of twin primes < N

Let $f(N)$ be the number of known twin primes up to $N$. Then I'm afraid the only known lower bound for the number of twin primes up to $N$ is $f(N)$. If no one has ever looked to see whether there ar …

Need to require a assertion for two subsets of natural numbers

T C Brown and Peter Jau-shyong Shiue, A remark related to the Frobenius problem, Fibonacci Quart. 31 (1993) 32-36, MR 93k:11018 gives you what you need. "For given $a,b$ with $(a, b) = 1$, let $NR(a …

sums of fractional parts of linear functions of n

Let $C_m(\alpha)=\sum_{k=1}^m((k\alpha))$ where $((x))$ is $x-[x]-1/2$ if $x$ is not an integer, 0 if $x$ is an integer (so this agrees with your definition away from points where $k\alpha$ is an inte …

Range of $2^n$ mod $n$

The smallest such $n$ is $n=4700063497$. A few others are known. J. Crump found $n=8365386194032363$ in 2000. Max Alekseyev found $n=3468371109448915$. Joe Crump found $n=10991007971508067$. Some info …

Questions about normal numbers

I think the answer to the 2nd question is yes (provided I understand the question). Take any normal sequence in any base $b>1$. Change the 1st symbol (if necessary) so the sequence begins with 1. Chan …

Spacing of zeros of zeta function on the critical line

I can't figure out what $\Lambda(k)$ is. The author defines $\Lambda$ by (1.4) on page 3, and it's an absolute constant. Then $\Lambda$ as a function shows up for the first time at (1.18) on page 6, w …

Distribution mod 1 of Factorial Multiples of Real Numbers.

I'll have to look this up in Kuipers and Niederreiter to make sure I have it right, but I think that for any increasing sequence $a_1,a_2,\dots$ of integers the sequence $a_1x,a_2x,\dots$ is uniformly …

S(3) field extensions

If $f$ is a cubic, irreducible over the rationals, then its splitting field has Galois group cyclic of order three if the discriminant is a square, symmetric on three letters otherwise. I don't know e …

Why are the only numbers $m$ for which $n^{m+1}\equiv n \bmod m$ also the only numbers such ...

We have, for both congruences, if $p$ is a prime dividing $m$, then $p-1$ also divides $m$, and $p^2$ doesn't divide $m$; conversely, if $m$ satisfies these properties, then it works in both congruenc …

Distribution of integers with number of prime factors lying in a given arithmetic progression

What you call $\lambda(n)$ is often denoted $\Omega(n)$ in the literature. Hubert Delange, Sur la distribution des valeurs de certaines fonctions arithmétiques, Colloque sur la Théorie des Nombres, …

Covering systems

A covering system (or, simply, a cover) is a finite collection of congruences $x\equiv a_i\pmod{m_i}$ with distinct moduli, each modulus exceeding 1, such that every integer satisfies at least one of …

How long can a primal egyptian fraction be, that optimally approaches unity?

This may be related to Giuga numbers: composite numbers $n$ such that $p$ divides $(n/p)-1$ for every prime divisor $p$ of $n$. A 10-factor Giuga number is given in the comments on that page: $$\eqali …
