Questions on de Branges' work on the Riemann hypothesis
According to Wikipedia, Louis de Branges de Bourcia has obtained some notable
results, such as a proof of the Bieberbach conjecture in 1985, which is now
known as de Branges' theorem. Initially, his ...

On a paper of Alain Connes entitled 'Around Wilson's Theorem '
A relatively recent paper Alain Connes - Around Wilson's theorem
introduced the function
$$
S(n,x ) = \sum_{i=1}^n \sin^2\Bigl(\frac{(i-1)! x}{i}\Bigr).
$$
In the same paper, he proved that the ...

Injectivity of product functions on natural number sequences
Let $M = \{ a = (a_i)_{i} : a_i \in \mathbb{N}, a_1 \geq 2, a_i > a_j \forall i>j\}$ the set of all ascending natural number sequences, with $a_1$ at least 2.
We now define for each $k \geq 2$ ...

Solving a system of differential-like equations for reverse Euler-Maclaurin summation
Aim
A particular instance of a rational zeries that has as of yet not been evaluated is:
\begin{align}
Z:= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\zeta(2n)}{(2n)!}. \label{EM1} \tag{EM1}
\end{align}
This sum ...

What rational zeta series with non-integer arguments appear in mathematics?
Background
Rational zeta series are series of the form $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} q_{n} \zeta(n + p, m), \label{1} \tag{1} $$ where $\zeta(x,m)$ is the Hurwitz zeta function and $q_{n}, \ p \in \mathbb{Q} \...

Upper bound of a product of sines
Consider the function
$$ f_n(t)= \prod_{1 \leq k \leq n-1,\\ \gcd(k,n)=1} \sin\Big(t-\frac{k \pi}{n}\Big),\quad t \in [0,\pi].$$
I wonder whether it is possible to compute some nontrivial upper ...

electrostatic potential energy of equal point charges at all primes up to $x$
given by
$$E(x)=\sum_{p_1<p_2\leq x}\frac{1}{p_2-p_1}$$

Eigenfunction of $h\mapsto H(h')|_{[-1,1]}$?
Let $H$ be the Hilbert transform. Is there a continuous, even function $h:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ with support on $[-1,1]$ such that, for some $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$,
$$H(h')(t) = \lambda h(t)$$

For $\Phi$ a majorant of $1_{[-1/2,1/2]}$, how small can the total variation of $\widehat\Phi$ be?
Let $\Phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a real-valued, symmetric, non-negative function such that $\Phi(t)\geq 1$ for $|t|\leq 1/2$. Assume furthermore that $\Phi$ and $\widehat\Phi$ are both in $L^1\...

An exponential sum estimate on small intervals
Let $1<r<2$ be a real number. Let $4<p\le 6$. Consider the exponential sum estimate
$$\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^{N^{r-2}} \left|\sum_{n=1}^N e^{inx+in^2 y}\right|^p \, dy \, dx$$
Notice that the $y$...

Reflection formula for the Hurwitz zeta function and odd zeta values
A reflection formula for the Hurwitz zeta function, which does not seem to be well known, uses half of the polynomials generated by $\frac{1}{-1+\sqrt{t-1}\cot(\sqrt{t-1}u)}$. (Look at the sections "...

various Hardy-Littlewood Tauberian theorems $ \sum \frac{a_n nx^n}{1-x^n} \to \frac{A}{1-x} $ implies $\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k = A$
I am seeing the Hardy-Littlewood Tauberian Theorem phrased in several different ways. Are they all equivalent?
A If $\sum a_n x^n \sim \frac{1}{1-x}$ then $\sum_{k=0}^n a_k = n$
B If $\sum a_n e^{...

Prove or disprove that $|(1/\zeta)^{(n)}(x)| \leq \frac{n!}{(x-\frac{1}{2})}$ for all real $x>1$
$|(1/\zeta)^{(n)}(x)| \leq \frac{n!}{(x-\frac{1}{2})}$ for all real $x>1$.
I had this conjecture for a long time. I tried various methods and techniques but they all failed. It might also be wrong ...

Integral of $|1/\zeta(\sigma+i T)|$ (or $|(1/\zeta(\sigma+i T))^{(k)}|$) on a horizontal half-line in the left upper quadrant
Let $T_0\geq 20$. Let $L$ be the half-line from $-\infty + i T$ to (say) $-1/2 + i T$. Since $|\zeta(s)|$ is roughly proportional to $(T/2 \pi e)^\sigma$ for $s=\sigma+ i T$ on $L$, it is clear that ...

Is there an asymptotic expansion for the reciprocal of the classical Euler beta function?
The classical Euler beta function can be defined by
$$
B(p,q)=\int_0^1t^{p-1}(1-t)^{q-1}\operatorname{d\!}t
$$
for $\Re(p),\Re(q)>0$.
The beta function and the classical Euler gamma function $\...

Strong estimates for the zeta function on natural numbers
Let $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}$$
be the Riemann zeta function (here we just consider real $s$).
We do have a description given by
$$\zeta(s) = \frac{s}{s-1}-s\int_{1}^\infty \frac{...
