Let F be a Siegel cusp form of integral weight k on the Siegel modular group Sp₂(ℤ) of genus 2. The coefficients of the spinor zeta function $Z_F\left(s\right)$ are denoted by cₙ. Let $D_{\rho }(x;Z_F)$ be the Riesz mean of cₙ. Kohnen and Wang obtained the truncated Voronoï-type formula for $D_{\rho }(x;Z_F)$ under the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture. In this paper, we study the higher power moments of $D_{\rho }(x;Z_F)$, and then derive an asymptotic formula for the hth (h=3,4,5) power moments of $D₁(x;Z_F)$ by using Ivić’s large value arguments and other techniques. ...

Let $\zeta \left(s\right)$ be the Riemann zeta-function. If $t\ge 6.8$ and $\sigma >1/2$, then it is known that the inequality $\left|\zeta \right(1-s\left)\right|>\left|\zeta \right(s\left)\right|$ is valid except at the zeros of $\zeta \left(s\right)$. Here we investigate the Lerch zeta-function $L(\lambda ,\alpha ,s)$ which usually has many zeros off the critical line and it is expected that these zeros are asymmetrically distributed with respect to the critical line. However, for equal parameters $\lambda =\alpha$ it is still possible to obtain a certain version of the inequality $|L(\lambda ,\lambda ,1-\overline{s})|>|L(\lambda ,\lambda ,s)|$.

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a nonnormal cubic extension which is given by an irreducible polynomial $g\left(x\right)=x^3+a{x}^2+bx+c$. Denote by ${\zeta }_K\left(s\right)$ the Dedekind zeta-function of the field $K$ and $a_K\left(n\right)$ the number of integral ideals in $K$ with norm $n$. In this note, by the higher integral mean values and subconvexity bound of automorphic $L$-functions, the second and third moment of $a_K\left(n\right)$ is considered, i.e., $$\sum _{n\le x}{a}_K^2\left(n\right)=x{P}_1(logx)+O\left(x^{5/7+ϵ}\right),\sum _{n\le x}{a}_K^3\left(n\right)=x{P}_4(logx)+O\left(X^{321/356+ϵ}\right),$$ where $P_1\left(t\right)$, $P_4\left(t\right)$ are polynomials of degree 1, 4, respectively, $ϵ>0$ is an arbitrarily small number.

Let ϕ(n) denote the Euler totient function. We study the error term of the general kth Riesz mean of the arithmetical function n/ϕ(n) for any positive integer k ≥ 1, namely the error term $E_k\left(x\right)$ where $1/k!{\sum }_{n\le x}n/\varphi \left(n\right){(1-n/x)}^k=M_k\left(x\right)+E_k\left(x\right)$. For instance, the upper bound for |Ek(x)| established here improves the earlier known upper bounds for all integers k satisfying $k\gg {\left(logx\right)}^{1+ϵ}$.

Let $(𝒪,\Sigma ,F_{\infty })$ be an arithmetic ring of Krull dimension at most 1, $𝒮=\mathrm{Spec}𝒪$ and $(\pi :𝒳\to 𝒮;{\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_n)$ an $n$-pointed stable curve of genus $g$. Write $𝒰=𝒳\setminus {\cup }_j{\sigma }_j\left(𝒮\right)$. The invertible sheaf ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}({\sigma }_1+\cdots +{\sigma }_n)$ inherits a hermitian structure ${\parallel ·\parallel }_{\mathrm{hyp}}$ from the dual of the hyperbolic metric on the Riemann surface ${𝒰}_{\infty }$. In this article we prove an arithmetic Riemann-Roch type theorem that computes the arithmetic self-intersection of ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}{({\sigma }_1+...+{\sigma }_n)}_{\mathrm{hyp}}$. The theorem is applied to modular curves $X\left(\Gamma \right)$, $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$ or ${\Gamma }_1\left(p\right)$, $p\ge 11$ prime, with sections given by the cusps. We show $Z^{\text{'}}(Y\left(\Gamma \right),1)\sim e^a{\pi }^b{\Gamma }_2{(1/2)}^{c}L(0,{ℳ}_{\Gamma })$, with $p\equiv 11mod12$ when $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$. Here $Z\left(Y\right(\Gamma ),s)$ is the Selberg...

Let d(n) be the divisor function. In 1916, S. Ramanujan stated without proof that ${\sum }_{n\le x}d²\left(n\right)=xP\left(logx\right)+E\left(x\right)$, where P(y) is a cubic polynomial in y and $E\left(x\right)=O\left(x^{3/5+\epsilon }\right)$, with ε being a sufficiently small positive constant. He also stated that, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), $E\left(x\right)=O\left(x^{1/2+\epsilon }\right)$. In 1922, B. M. Wilson proved the above result unconditionally. The direct application of the RH would produce $E\left(x\right)=O\left(x^{1/2}\left(logx\right)⁵loglogx\right)$. In 2003, K. Ramachandra and A. Sankaranarayanan proved the above result without any assumption. In this paper, we prove $E\left(x\right)=O\left(x^{1/2}\left(logx\right)⁵\right)$. ...

Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $r_n\left(\Gamma \right)$ the number of its $n$-dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function ${𝒵}_{\Gamma }\left(s\right)={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{r}_n\left(\Gamma \right)n^{-s}$. When $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then ${𝒵}_{\Gamma }\left(s\right)$ has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite...

The Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) extends to an outer function in ergodic Hardy spaces on ${}^{\omega }$, the infinite-dimensional torus indexed by primes p. This enables us to investigate collectively certain properties of Dirichlet series of the form $(a_p,s)={\prod }_p{(1-a_p{p}^{-s})}^{-1}$ for $a_p$ in ${}^{\omega }$. Among other things, using the Haar measure on ${}^{\omega }$ for measuring the asymptotic behavior of ζ(s) in the critical strip, we shall prove, in a weak sense, the mean-value theorem for ζ(s), equivalent to the Lindelöf hypothesis.

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 ${li}^{-1}\left(n\right)$, after having retained the first $m$ terms, for $1\le m\le 11$, are given. Finally, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we give estimations of the best possible $r_3$ such that, for $n\ge r_3$, we have $p_n\>s_3\left(n\right)$ where $s_3\left(n\right)$ is the sum of the first four terms of the asymptotic...
