Is the upper bound on $H_{1}$ a decreasing function of the proportion of critical zeros of Zeta?
This question stems from https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.19762 and the numerical observation that the best unconditional upper bound for $H_{1}:=\lim\inf_{n\to\infty}p_{n+1}-p_{n}$, namely $H_{1}^{\flat}=...

Conjectured error term when counting square-free integers
It is well know that the density of positive square-free integers up to $x$ is asymptotically $x/\zeta(2)$. The error term
$$ E(x)=\sum_{1\leq n \leq x } \mu(n)^2 -\frac{x}{\zeta(2)}
$$ can easily ...

Why is $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sigma_a(pn)}{n^s}=(1+p^a-p^{a-s}) \zeta(s) \zeta(s-a)$ only when $p$ is a prime number?
I tried to find the summation for $a,b\in N$ and $s>a+1$
$$ \Omega_a(b,s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sigma_a(bn)}{n^s}$$
where $\sigma_a(n)$ is sum of positive divisors function which defined by
