In his famous paper, On the distribution of spacings between zeros of the zeta function (https://www.ams.org/journals/mcom/1987-48-177/S0025-5718-1987-0866115-0/S0025-5718-1987-0866115-0.pdf), Odlyzko …

The quadratic irrational $\frac{2221564096+283748\sqrt{462}}{491993569}$ is known as Freiman's constant and arises in the theory of continued fractions. I'm curious as to its simple continued fractio …

A complete answer is at Asymptotic behavior of a "strange" arithmetic function. The sum $\sum_{n \leq x} a_n$ is not $O(x (\log x)^A)$ for any $A$, due to the precise asymptotics stated there for the …

Roth's theorem states that every algebraic irrational has approximation exponent equal to $2$. It follows from Theorem 1 of https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0406300 that the approximation exponent of an ir …

One has \begin{align*} \sum_{n \leq x}\frac{n}{\operatorname{rad}n} & = (1+o(1)) \, x \sqrt{\frac{2}{\log x \log \log x}} \exp\left((1+o(1))\sqrt{\frac{8\log x}{\log \log x}}\right) \ (x \to \infty), …

As all analytic number theorists know, iterated logarithms ($\log x$, $\log \log x$, $\log \log \log x$, etc.) are prevalent in analytic number theory. One can give countless examples of this phenome …

Factoring arithmetic functions in the ring $\text{Arith}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ of all arithmetic functions over $\mathbb{Z}$ into irreducibles is unlikely to have much use as far as their analytic properties …

This is my last question, building off of Riemann-Von Mangoldt formula and Does $\frac{1}{\pi}\operatorname{Arg} \zeta(1/2+2\pi i t)$ have mean value $0$?. I apologize for taking a while to understan …

Let $x >0$. How can one find good $O$ bounds on the integrals $$\int_0^x\frac{\operatorname{li}(t)-\pi(t)}{t}dt$$ and $$\int_x^\infty\frac{\operatorname{li}(t)-\pi(t)}{t^2}dt$$ where $\pi(x)$ is the …

Let $\pi(x)$ denote the prime counting function and $$\pi_0(x) = \lim_{\epsilon \to 0} \frac{\pi(x+\epsilon)+\pi(x-\epsilon)}{2}.$$ I've seen noted in a few references the explicit formula $$\pi_0(x) …

I think I might now have an answer to my question, in that the approximation I gave should be within $O(1)$ of $t_n$, and it can be related to the function $N(T)$. However, I am not yet sure in what …

NOTE: I've edited the question one last time, to be much simpler, in the hopes of getting more responses. SETUP: Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th prime, let $p_x = p_{\lceil x \rceil}$ for all $x > 0$, let …

Not all multiplicative functions are rational. For simplicity take arithmetic functions with complex values. It is easy to show that $f$ is rational of order $(m,n)$ (meaning the Dirichlet product o …

Let $h(x)$ be a function that is positive on $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ and satisfies $h(x) = o(x)$ and $(\log x)^a = o(h(x))$ for all $a > 0$, as $x \to \infty$. Is it reasonable to expect under these condi …

For all positive integers $n$, let $$t_n = \frac{1}{2\pi} \operatorname{Im} \rho_n,$$ where $\rho_n$ donates the $n$th nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function in the upper half plane (listed in i …
