Prime number theorem via the explicit formula
Can the prime number theorem be obtained from the explicit formula,
$\psi(x)=x-\sum_{\zeta(\rho)=0}\frac{x^\rho}{\rho}+O(1)$?
Here, $\psi(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\sum_{p^k<x}\log p$

Best possible unconditional partial sum estimate of $\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{\ln(p)}{({p})^{n/2}}$:
Consider the following partial sum:
$$S(x,n)=\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{\ln(p)}{({p})^{n/2}}$$
Here p runs through primes and $n$ is constant
What is the best possible unconditional( using best known version ...

Averages of Möbius function in arithmetic progressions
It is mentioned in multiple occasions here that the bound
$$
\mathop{\sum_{n=1}^{N}}_{n\equiv a\mod l} \mu(n) = o(N)
$$
is equivalent to the prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions. But I am ...

Is $\lim_{s \rightarrow 1} E(f(X_s)) = \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{k=1}^N f(k)$?
Let $s>1$ be a real number. We look at the zeta probability function / Zipf probability function defined as:
$$P(X = n) = \frac{1}{n^s \zeta(s)}$$
Suppose $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is ...

Deriving an asymptotic for $\pi(x)$ directly from $\log \zeta(s)$?
Denote by $\pi(x)$ the number of primes $p\leq x$. We generally give approximations for $\pi(x)$ by first approximating $\psi(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} \Lambda(n)$. Part of the reason is presumably that, if ...

Proving that the Riemann zeta function is zero free on Re=1 using the prime number theorem
Is $\frac{-\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)}+\frac{-s}{s-1}$ an analytic continuation, holomorphic for $Re\ s > 0,\ s\neq 1$, of $f(s)=s\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\psi(x)-x}{x^{s+1}}\mathrm{d}x$?
If so: Let $s_{0}$ ...

Any simplification of this inequality if it is true? :For $t\geq 1.22$: $|\zeta(0.5+it)|\leq 0.5 \frac{|\Gamma(0.5+it)|}{|\Gamma(-0.5+it)|}$
When I tried to give bounds for $\zeta(0.5+it)$ using some transformations over Gamma function using the function $f(x)=\exp(-n x)$ over the range $(0,+\infty)$ , For $ Re(s)=\frac12 $ and $t >0$ ...

Is finding positive integer solutions of $\zeta(a/b) = c$ equivalent to deciding the rationality of $\gamma$?
This question requires little bit of explanation of the background hence it is a bit lengthy. Note: The question was initially posted in MSE but did not get answers hence posting in MO.
For every ...

Motivated account of the prime number theorem and related topics
Though my own research interests (described below) are pretty far from analytic number theory, I have always wanted to understand the prime number theorem and related topics. In particular, I often ...

Counting prime powers $p^{\frac{k}{t}} \left( t \in \mathbb{R}{+}, k \in \mathbb{N} \right)$ by changing $\rho$'s in $\psi(x)$?
With $\rho=\beta+ \gamma \,i$ being a non-trivial zero of $\zeta(s)$, the logarithmic prime counting function is:
$$\psi(x) = x - \log(2\pi) - \frac12 \log\left(1- \frac{1}{x^2}\right) - \sum_{\rho}...

Implications of divergence of $1/\zeta(s) $ at 1/2
$1/\zeta(s)=\sum_{n>0}\frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}$ where $\mu$ is the Moebius function.
This series is known to converge for $s\ge 1$ and diverge for $s\le 1/2$.
Its convergence is unknown if $1/2< s&...
