Ramanujan-Fourier series and the conjecture D of Hardy and Littlewood

H. Gopalakrishna Gadiyar, Ramanathan Padma (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We give a heuristic proof of a conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood concerning the density of prime pairs to which twin primes and Sophie Germain primes are special cases. The method uses the Ramanujan-Fourier series for a modified von Mangoldt function and the Wiener-Khintchine theorem for arithmetical functions. The failing of the heuristic proof is due to the lack of justification of interchange of certain limits. Experimental evidence using computer calculations is provided for the plausibility...

Real zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms and sieving short intervals

Kaisa Matomäki (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study so-called real zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms, that is, zeros on three geodesic segments on which the cusp form (or a multiple of it) takes real values. Ghosh and Sarnak, who were the first to study this problem, showed the existence of many such zeros if many short intervals contain numbers whose prime factors all belong to a certain subset of the primes.We prove new results concerning this sieving problem which leads to improved lower bounds for the number of real zeros.
