Mertens Bound and the Riemann Hypothesis
Let $M(x)$ denote the Mertens function ($M(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{x}\mu(i)$ where $\mu(i)$ is the Möbius function) and let $\Lambda(i)$ denote the Mangoldt function ($\Lambda(i)$ equals $\log(p)$ if $i=p^{m}$ ...

Restricted divisor summatory function
I have a problem that boils down to prove that the succession $\{a_n\}$ tends to infinity, where
$$a_n:=1+\sum_{0\leq j<n}D_{2j+1}(n-j)$$
and $D_{m}(n)$ is the number of divisors $d>1$ of $n$ ...

Lower bound on exponential sums
Let $k\geq 2$. Consider the following norm of exponenetial sum:
$$
I(N,p,k)=\int_0^1\int_0^1 \left|\sum_{n=0}^N e^{2\pi i (n x+n^k y)}\right|^p dxdy.
$$

Lower bounds on the error term of the prime number theorem
Are there any lower bounds on the error term for the prime number theorem, or in other words, is there a nontrivial $f$ s.t.
$$f(x)\ll |\psi(x) - x|$$
where $\psi$ is the Chebyshev function.

lower and upper bound for $\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{(-1)^{\Omega(k)}}k$?
Are there known any lower and upper bounds for
$$
\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{(-1)^{\Omega(k)}}k,
$$
where $\Omega(n)$ is the number of prime factors counting multiplicities of $n$?
Or at least is it known ...

Quantitative lower bounds related to Zhang's theorem on bounded gaps
Let $\mathcal{H}=\left\{ h_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{k}$ be an admissible set, and define $$\pi_{\mathcal{H}}(x)=\left|\left\{ n\leq x\ :\ \exists\ i,j\leq k,\ i\neq j\ \text{such that both }n+h_{i},\ n+h_{...
