Number of solutions of linear congruence with bounded variables
Fix some nonzero integers $a_1, \dots, a_k$, with $k \geq 2$, and some real numbers $c_1, \dots, c_k \in (0,1)$.
For every positive integer $m$, let $N(m)$ be the number of $k$-tuple of integers $(x_1,...

What is known about the mode of the number of divisors $\le x$?
Let $d(x)$ be the divisor function. Let $M(x)$ ($x$ a positive integer) be the most frequent value of $d(y)$ for $1 \le y \le x$. Is an asymptotic known for $M(x)$, and failing that, can $M(x)$ at ...

Asymptotic number of "modular primes"
We can say that a number $p$ is prime modulo $N$ if for any two numbers $1<a,b<p$, $ab \not\equiv p \pmod N$. We will define $p(n)$ to be the number of primes mod $n$. I'm wondering about the ...

Effective prime number theorem
The prime number theorem implies that for every $ϵ>0$, there is $n_\epsilon$ such that for all $n≥n_\epsilon$ the number of primes in $[n,cn]$ is at least $\frac{(c−1−\epsilon)n}{\log n}$ and at ...

On an inequality for the arithmetic function counting the number of primes $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$ in the spirit of Ramanujan's prime counting inequality
In page 3 of [1] (please see if you need it the book by Berndt) Axler refers an inequality that involves the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ and that was deduced by Ramanujan. I'm curious to know if ...

A Brun-Titchmarsh type result for divisor sums; asymptotic/improved bound
In Shiu's work ('A Brun-Titchmarsh theorem for multiplicative functions') he proved that if $r\le x$ is a natural number, we have $$\sum_{r<n\le x}d(n)d(n-r)\ll x\log^2x\sum_{d|r}\frac{1}{d}.$$
