On the infinity of $\{p\in \mathbb {N}:\exists n\in\mathbb{N}~p| \left \lfloor{r^n}\right \rfloor\}$
I've already asked this same question on MSE here, but didn't get much help, so I will try on this site as well.
For which $r\in\mathbb{R}$ is the set $\mathscr{P}_r=\{p \in \mathbb{P}:\ (\exists n\...

Evaluating Shintani cone zeta functions
Hi everyone
I am trying the evaluate sums of the form
$$ \sum_{n_1>0,n_2>0,\ldots,n_m>0} \frac{1}{\big((a_{1,1}n_1 +\ldots +a_{1,m}n_m)^k \ldots (a_{m,1}n_1+ \ldots +a_{m,m}n_m)^k\big)}$$

Can the inverse of the Riemann zeta function in $s > 1$ be expressed as a series?
In this post, we are interested in the Rimenann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in $s > 1$ only where it is strictly decreasing rather than $s$ in the entire complex plane. We have the Stieltjes series ...

Is the ratio of a number to the variance of its divisors injective?
The variance $v_n$ of a natural number $n$ is defined as the variance of its divisors. There are distinct integer whose variances are equal e,g. $v_{691} = v_{817}$. However I observed that for $n \le ...

Proving that a certain function (related to a volume of a region) has a bounded derivative
Let $F$ be a homogeneous form in $n$ variables with integer coefficients.
Let $D$ be a closed box in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (product of closed and bounded intervals). Assume that the partial $\partial F/\...

operation on Ord., Exp., Dri. generating functions
The ordinary, exponential and Dirichlet generating functions for a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq0}$ are given (at least on the formal side), respectively, by
$$F(x)=\sum_{n\geq0}a_nx^n, \qquad E(x)=\sum_{n\...

Injectivity of product functions on natural number sequences
Let $M = \{ a = (a_i)_{i} : a_i \in \mathbb{N}, a_1 \geq 2, a_i > a_j \forall i>j\}$ the set of all ascending natural number sequences, with $a_1$ at least 2.
We now define for each $k \geq 2$ ...

Why is the smallest (fractional) absolute central moment of a Gaussian distribution almost at $\sqrt{3}/2$?
Let $X$ be a standard normal random variable. What $\alpha$ minimizes $E|X|^{\alpha}$?
Numerically, $\alpha$ turns out to be equal to $\sqrt{3}/2-\varepsilon$ where $\varepsilon$ is of the order $10^...

What kind of points are left in the set with rationals subtracted, who contains all rationals and is null?
Let {$q_i$} be a list of all rationals, $U_{i,n}$ be an open interval centered at $q_i$ with length of $2^{-i}/n$. Then open set $\bigcup_{i}U_{i,n} $ has the length of $1/n$ and contains all ...

Conjecture: The sequence {$π(2n+1)!$} is equidistributed in the interval (0,1)
Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$.
From the book "Uniform Distribution of Sequences" (available here) by L. Kuipers and H. Niederreiter, (from pg. 8) I found that for any irrational $\theta$, the ...

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 ...

Number of solutions to a diophantine equation
Given a positive integer $n$, consider the diophantine equation $4x^2+y^2+4x+y=2n$ with solutions in non-negative integers $x$ and $y$.
Define the proportion
$$\delta_n=\frac{\#\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}^2_{...

An implication of the Zagier et al result on the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for the Riemann zeta function?
In their paper recently published in the PNAS, Zagier et al demonstrated that
The Jensen polynomials $J_{\alpha}^{d,n}(X)$ of the Riemann zeta function of degree $d$ and shift $n$ are hyperbolic for ...

Questions on Riemann's explicit formula
If we consider this version of the prime-counting function
$$\pi_0(x) = \frac{1}{2} \lim_{h\to 0} (\pi(x+h) + \pi(x-h))$$
(with $\pi$ being the normal prime-counting function), then we can write $\...

Fejer-Jackson-like inequality with divisor sum
A question was recently asked about a generalization of the Fejer-Jackson inequality $$\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{\sin kx}{k}\gt 0 \quad \forall\: n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\: \text{and}\: 0\lt x\lt\pi$$

equivalent of an alternating series
Let $d_n=\mathrm{lcm}(1,\cdots,n)$. By the prime number theorem $d_n=e^{n+o(n)}$.
I look for an equivalent of the function $\sum_{n\ge0}(-1)^n\frac{d_n}{n!}t^n$ when $t\to+\infty$. Unfortunately, the ...

Strong estimates for the zeta function on natural numbers
Let $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}$$
be the Riemann zeta function (here we just consider real $s$).
We do have a description given by
$$\zeta(s) = \frac{s}{s-1}-s\int_{1}^\infty \frac{...
