Bounding a number-theoretic integral

Find a good upper bound on $$\int_1^T\frac{\zeta'(s)}{\zeta(s)\zeta(1-s)}X^sdt,$$ where $s=c+it$ for a constant $c>1$ and $X>0$ is a parameter. If needed, we can assume RH. My attempt here is ...

Size of $\zeta'(s)$ at its zeros

How large can the derivative of the Riemann zeta function be at its zeros? More specifically, let $\rho$ be a zero of the zeta function with $\Im(\rho)\in (0,T]$. What can we say about $|\zeta'(\rho)|...

Explicit bounds on gaps between zeros of $\zeta^\prime(s)$

In $\S$9.1 of "Theory of the Riemann Zeta Function", Titchmarsh uses Borel-Carathéodory and Hadamard Three Circles to show that every circle of radius 6 and center $3+iT$ contains a zeros of ...

Reference request for the explicit formula for $\sum_{n\leq x} \Lambda(n)n^{-s}$

Denote by $\Lambda(n)$ the von Mangoldt function, which is equal to $\log p$ if $p\geq 2$ is a prime, and $0$ otherwise. Let $\rho$ denote a complex zero of the Riemann $\zeta$-function. If I recall ...

Approximating $\zeta^{(r)}(s)$ by a sum

Let $\eta:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ be compactly supported, continuous and piecewise $C^1$, with its derivative $\eta'$ being of bounded variation. It is completely unsurprising that one can prove (...

an eigenvalue problem for Jacobi Forms

Assume $G(q,z)$ is a Jacobi form of a certain index k. It is known that $G$ can be expanded in a Taylor series with coefficients in the ring of quasi-modular forms (generators $E_2, E_4$ and $E_6$). $\...

Extending an assignment property from Q to R (or C)

Property of any odd number of nonnegative integers: Given $x_1 \leq \cdots \leq x_{2n + 1}$ with each $x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, suppose that for any $x_i$ we remove, the remaining numbers can be ...

Is there a way to tie up even and "newly suggested odd" Riemann zeta values?

Define the sequence $$a_s=(-1)^{\binom{s-1}2}\left(\frac{\pi}2\right)^s\frac1{2\cdot s!}\begin{cases} s\,E_{s-1}, \qquad \text{if $s$ is odd} \\ 2^{2s}B_s, \qquad \,\,\text{if $s$ is even};\end{cases}$...

Has there been further work on Bender-Brody-Müller approach to RH?

Earlier this year (April 4, 2017), a seemingly tantalizing approach of the Riemann Hypothesis based on ideas dating back to Hilbert and Pólya by Bender, Brody and Müller was made publicly available. I ...

References on Taylor series expansion of Riemann xi function

I am looking for the references on Taylor series expansion of Riemann xi function at $\frac{1}{2}$. $$ \xi (s)=\sum_0^{\infty}a_{2n}(s-\frac{1}{2})^{2n}$$ where $$a_{2n}=4\int_1^{\infty}\frac{d[x^{3/...

Pair correlation for the Riemann zeros and $(\zeta^\prime(s)/\zeta(s))^\prime$

Added Background: The pair correlation of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function is influenced by the the derivative of the logarithmic derivative $(\zeta^\prime(s)/\zeta(s))^\prime$; see for example ...

distance-set along the orbit of $e^{2\pi i\theta}$

Let $z=e^{2\pi i\theta}$ for a fixed real number $\theta$. It's known that if $\theta\not\in\mathbb{Q}$ (is irrational) then the set $S(\theta)=\{z^n: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ is dense on the unit circle $\...

Kasteleyn's formula for domino tilings generalized?

It seems a marvel when a bunch of irrational numbers "conspire" to become rational, even better an integer. An elementary example is $\prod_{j=1}^n4\cos^2\left(\pi j/(2n+1)\right)=1$. Kasteleyn's ...

Zeros of the derivative of Riemann's $\xi$-function

The Riemann xi function $\xi(s)$ is defined as $$ \xi(s)=\frac12 s(s-1)\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta(s). $$ It is an entire function whose zeros are precisely those of $\zeta(s)$. Since $\xi$ is real ...

Intuition behind $\zeta(2) = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$ [closed]

In literature, there are many proofs of the well-known result $$\zeta(2) = \frac{\pi^2}{6}.$$ However, as far as I know, they do not offer an intuitive explanation of why this result should be true. ...

Queries about the Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem (integer zeros of exponential polynomials)

The Skolem-Mahler-Lech Theorem says that the integer zeros of an exponential polynomial are the union of complete arithmetic progressions and a finite number of exceptional zeros. http://terrytao....
