On Certain Sums Involving Von Mangoldt's Function In Short Intervals
The goal of this paper is to outline the proof of a conjecture of Gelfond [6] (1968) in a recent work in collaboration with Christian Mauduit [11] concerning the sum of digits of prime numbers, reflecting the lecture given in Edinburgh at the Journées Arithmétiques 2007.
We shall establish an explicit formula for the Davenport series in terms of trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, where by the Davenport series we mean an infinite series involving a PNT (Prime Number Theorem) related to arithmetic function with the periodic Bernoulli polynomial weight and PNT arithmetic functions include the von Mangoldt function, Möbius function and Liouville function, etc. The Riesz sum of order or gives the well-known explicit formula for respectively the partial...
