The Hooley-Huxley contour method for problems in number fields III : frobenian functions

Mark D. Coleman (2001)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper we study finite valued multiplicative functions defined on ideals of a number field and whose values on the prime ideals depend only on the Frobenius class of the primes in some Galois extension. In particular we give asymptotic results when the ideals are restricted to “small regions”. Special cases concern Ramanujan's tau function in small intervals and relative norms in “small regions” of elements from a full module of the Galois extension.

The hyperbola x y = N

We include several results providing bounds for an interval on the hyperbola x y = N containing k lattice points.

The joint distribution of Q -additive functions on polynomials over finite fields

Michael Drmota, Georg Gutenbrunner (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let K be a finite field and Q K [ T ] a polynomial of positive degree. A function f on K [ T ] is called (completely) Q -additive if f ( A + B Q ) = f ( A ) + f ( B ) , where A , B K [ T ] and deg ( A ) < deg ( Q ) . We prove that the values ( f 1 ( A ) , ... , f d ( A ) ) are asymptotically equidistributed on the (finite) image set { ( f 1 ( A ) , ... , f d ...

The n -th prime asymptotically

Juan Arias de Reyna, Jérémy Toulisse (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

A new derivation of the classic asymptotic expansion of the n -th prime is presented. A fast algorithm for the computation of its terms is also given, which will be an improvement of that by Salvy (1994).Realistic bounds for the error with li - 1 ( n ) , after having retained the first m terms, for 1 m 11 , are given. Finally, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we give estimations of the best possible r 3 such that, for n r 3 , we have p n > s 3 ( n ) where s 3 ( n ) is the sum of the first four terms of the asymptotic expansion.

The range of the sum-of-proper-divisors function

Florian Luca, Carl Pomerance (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Answering a question of Erdős, we show that a positive proportion of even numbers are in the form s(n), where s(n) = σ(n) - n, the sum of proper divisors of n.
