On the second moment for primes in an arithmetic progression
Mertens’ product formula asserts thatas . Calculation shows that the right side of the formula exceeds the left side for . It was suggested by Rosser and Schoenfeld that, by analogy with Littlewood’s result on , this and a complementary inequality might change their sense for sufficiently large values of . We show this to be the case.
In questo lavoro vengono migliorati i risultati ottenuti in «Primes in Almost All Short Intervals» riguardo la distribuzione dei primi in quasi tutti gli intervalli corti della forma , con funzione reale appartenente ad una ampia classe di funzioni. Il problema viene trattato mettendo in relazione l'insieme eccezionale per la distribuzione dei primi in intervalli nella forma con l'insieme eccezionale per la formula asintotica I risultati presentati vengono quindi ottenuti grazie allo studio...
This Memoir studies Weil’s well-known Explicit Formula in the theory of prime numbers and its associated quadratic functional, which is positive semidefinite if and only if the Riemann Hypothesis is true. We prove that this quadratic functional attains its minimum in the unit ball of the -space of functions with support in a given interval , and prove again Yoshida’s theorem that it is positive definite if is sufficiently small. The Fourier transform of the functional gives rise to a quadratic...
Riemann’s memoir is devoted to the function π(x) defined as the number of prime numbers less or equal to the real and positive number x. This is really the fact, but the “main role” in it is played by the already mentioned zeta-function.
Riemann conjectured that all the zeros of the Riemann ≡-function are real, which is now known as the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). In this article we introduce the study of the zeros of the truncated sums ≡N(z) in Riemann’s uniformly convergent infinite series expansion of ≡(z) involving incomplete gamma functions. We conjecture that when the zeros of ≡N(z) in the first quadrant of the complex plane are listed by increasing real part, their imaginary parts are monotone nondecreasing. We show how this...
