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_{...

Super-linear time complexity lower bounds for any natural problem in NP?
Do we know any problem in NP which has a super-linear time complexity lower bound? Ideally, we would like to show that 3SAT has super-polynomial lower bounds, but I guess we're far away from that. I'd ...

Lower bound on the entries of the Perron vector
Let $A$ be a matrix that satisfies all the conditions of Perron- Frobenius theorem. From the theorem it is known that the entries of the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue will be ...

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 ...

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.

bound for zeros of a polynomial with bounded integer coefficients
Let $f$ be a monic polynomial with bounded integer coefficients and such that all zeros are (in absolute value) greater than $1$. How close can the zeros of $f$ reach $1$ (in absolute value)?

Existence of copula bound pointwise strictly smaller than the Fréchet-Hoeffding upper bound
Consider bivariate copulas $C_1$ and $C_2$ with $\max\{C_1(u,v), C_2(u,v)\}< M_2(u,v)$ for all $u,v \in(0,1)$, where $M_2(u,v) := \min\{u,v\}$ is the Fréchet-Hoeffding upper bound.
Is there a ...

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.

Extension of the Gershgorin circle theorem for symmetric matrices and localization of positive eigenvalues
In mathematics, the Gershgorin circle theorem can be used to localize eigenvalues of a matrix (including symmetric). Let $A$ be a real symmetry $n × n$ matrix, with entries $a_{ij}$. For $i∈{1,…,n}$ ...
