Explicit expression for a function in number theory

In their paper "Moyenne de certains fonctions arithmétiques sur les entiers friables", Tenenbaum and Wu proved that for the case of the function $\beta$ which is the indicator function of ...

Integrating on $\mathbb{R}$ by summing on $\mathbb{Q}^+$

Does the following integration method hold for regular enough functions $F:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$? \begin{align} &\zeta(2)\sum_{\frac{a}{b}\in\mathbb{Q}_n} \frac{F(\log \frac{a}{b})}{\sqrt{abn}...

Bounded sums involving primes

I'm trying to generalize the Theorem 2.7.1 in [1] where they prove: $$\sum_{p \leq x} f(p) = \int_{2}^{x} \frac{f(t)}{\log{t}} dt + \epsilon(x)f(x) - \int_{2}^{x} \epsilon(t) f^{'}(t) dt $$ where $\...

Evaluating the integral $\int_1^x \log^k t \frac{\sqrt{t-1}}{t^2} dt$

I am trying to evaluate the integral $$ I_k(x)=\int_1^x \log^k t \frac{\sqrt{t-1}}{t^2} dt $$ with $x$ tending to infinity. In fact, I wish to have an estimate $$ \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{\log^k x} ...

Is there an explicit version of Morse Lemma used in stationary phase method?

In the proof of the stationary phase method (at least the one I have seen) Morse lemma shows up, which states: Let $g:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R$ be a function of class $C^\infty$ for which $0$ is a ...

Question about the stationary phase method and the smooth function used

A statement of the stationary phase method I know is the following. Suppose $\phi(x_0) = \phi'(x_0) = 0$ and $\phi''(x_0) \not = 0$. If $\psi$ is a smooth function supported in a sufficiently small ...

Basic question related to Stieltjes integral

I am reading this paper. I am stuck on something, which I think is something basic but I haven't been able to figure it out yet, and I was hoping someone could explain it to me. Let $$ \sigma(u) = \...

An interesting integral expression for $\pi^n$?

I came on the following multiple integral while renormalizing elliptic multiple zeta values: $$\int_0^1\cdots \int_0^1\int_1^\infty {{1}\over{t_n(t_{n-1}+t_n)\cdots (t_1+\cdots+t_n)}} dt_n\cdots dt_1.$...

Is the singular integral that come up in circle method independnet of the representatin of the equations?

Let $F_1(\mathbf{x}), F_2(\mathbf{x}) \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, ..., x_n]$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous polynomial. For the system of equations $$F_1(\mathbf{x})= F_2(\mathbf{x}) =0,$$ we have the ...
