This is a question about pedagogy. I want to sketch the proof of the prime number theorem or any other application of complex analysis to number theory in a single lecture, in a complex analysis ...

[I'm going to ask this question very carefully as a question similar to this received a critical response on this platform. I myself am very skeptical about this but I want to know, from the experts' ...

I am looking for a short proof of the fact that $\zeta(z)\neq 0$ for $\Re z>a$ implies the prime number theorem with an error bound $O(x^{a+\varepsilon})$ for any $\varepsilon>0$, which would be ...

I am teaching a graduate course in Complex Analysis and I am covering Newman's proof of the prime number theorem. I have been using the simplified version in the papers of Zagier and Korevaar. However,...

Let $\psi(x)=\sum_{p^{k}\leq x} \log p$, $k\in \mathbb{N}$. If i recall correctly, the convergence of the integral $s\int_{1}^{\infty} (\psi(x)-x)x^{-s-1} \mathrm{d}x$ at $s=1$ is equivalent to the ...

A relatively recent paper Alain Connes - Around Wilson's theorem introduced the function $$ S(n,x ) = \sum_{i=1}^n \sin^2\Bigl(\frac{(i-1)! x}{i}\Bigr). $$ In the same paper, he proved that the ...
