Number of elements in the set $\{1,\cdots,n\}\cdot\{1,\cdots,n\}$

Let $A_n=\{a\cdot b : a,b \in \mathbb{N}, a,b\leq n\}$. Are there any estimates for $|A_n|$? Will it be $o(n^2)$?

Walsh Fourier transform of the Möbius function

This question is related to this previous question where I asked about ordinary Fourier coefficients. Special case: is Möbius nearly orthogonal to Morse August Ferdinand Möbius (November 17, 1790 – ...

Exact formulas for the partition function?

I am curious, what kind of exact formulas exist for the partition function $p(n)$? I seem to remember an exact formula along the lines $p(n) = \sum_k f(n, k)$, where $f(n, k)$ was some extremely ...

How many different numbers can be obtained as product of first $n$ natural numbers?

Let m and n be natural numbers, and consider the set of all possible products of m (not necessarily distinct) elements from the set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, that is consider the set $\{1^{a_1} \cdot 2^{...

Möbius Randomness of the Rudin-Shapiro Sequence

The Rudin-Shapiro sequence (also known as the Golay-Rudin-Shapiro sequence) is defined as follows. Let $a_n = \sum \epsilon_i\epsilon_{i+1}$ where $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2,\dots$ are the digits in the ...

Are the Fourier coefficients of $\eta(q^m)^m / \eta(q)$ non-negative?

In this paper, the following result is proved. For any prime $p$, all the Fourier coefficients of $$\eta(q^p)^p / \eta(q) = q^{\frac{p^2-1}{12}} \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1 - q^{pn})^p (1 - q^{n})^{-1}$$ ...

Infinite dimensional lattice for integers and the Riemann hypothesis?

It is known that for each finite set of primes $p$ we have: $\log(p)$ are linear independent over the rational numbers. We have $\log(ab) = \log(a)+\log(b)$ and $\log(n) = \sum_{p |n}v_p(n) \log(p)$. ...

Essential clarifications on application of pigeonhole principle

In here Lemma $4$ using pigeonhole says: For $T_1,\dots,T_s\in\Bbb R$ with $1\leq T_1,\dots,T_s<p$ and $\prod_{i=1}^sT_i > p^{s−1}$ and any integers $a_1,\dots,a_s$ there is an integer $t$ ...
