Bound for sums of bounded multiplicative functions that are zero at primes
To expand on Lucia's comment, we note that we can assume without loss of generality that each coefficient of $h$ is bounded by $1$, in which case $S(x)$ is largest when $h(p^k) = 1$ for all $k \geq 2$ …

Is the asymptotic for $\sum_n (\mu(n)/\sigma(n)) \log(x/n)$ also an upper bound?
We first observe that as $\frac{\mu(p^k)}{\sigma(p^k)}$ is equal to $1$ if $k = 0$, $-\frac{1}{p + 1}$ if $k = 1$, and $0$ otherwise, its Dirichlet series is
\[\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\mu(n)}{\sig …

Error to sum of Euler phi-functions
This is an interesting question. I don't think anyone has worked out what the distribution of the error term
$$\frac{E(x)}{x} = \frac{1}{x}\left(\sum_{n \leq x}{\phi(n)} - \frac{3x^2}{\pi^2}\right)$$

Asymptotic Formula for a Mertens Style Sum
Expanding on Frank's answer: by partial summation, we have that
$$\sum_{p \leq x} \frac{(\log p)^k}{p} = \frac{(\log x)^k}{x} \pi(x) - \int_{2}^{x} \pi(t) \left(\frac{kt (\log t)^{k-1} - (\log t)^k}{t …

Trivial zeroes of the Riemann Zeta function are simple
As implicitly stated in Igor Rivin's answer, the standard way to show the vanishing of $\zeta(s)$ at negative even integers, and that such zeroes are simple, would be to use the functional equation, a …

Prime races à la Mertens
I think this paper gives a pretty good answer:
http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.em/1317758092
In the appendix, Languasco and Zaccagnini give a proof of Norton that if $q \geq 2$ and $1 \leq a < q$ wit …

What are the analytic properties of Dirichlet Euler products restricted to arithmetic progre...
It's best to split this up into two cases.
Case 1: $\chi(a) = 1$. Then for $\Re(s) > 1$,
$$\prod_{p \equiv a \pmod{q}} \left(1 - \frac{\chi(p)}{p^s}\right)^{-1} = \prod_{p \equiv a \pmod{q}} \left(1 …

Discrete Fourier Transform of the Möbius Function
Expanding on Matt's answer, it is possible to show without too much difficulty (see here, Exercise 3 of section 18.2.1) that if $(a,q) = 1$, then
$$\sum_{n \leq x}{\mu(n) e^{2\pi i an/q}} = \sum_{d \m …

Consistency of the notion of conductor of a representation
In all cases, the analytic conductor is defined as the usual arithmetic conductor $q_{\pi}$ times a product of terms coming from the archimedean places. The issue is the definition of the terms at th …

Distribution of zeros of real quadratic Dirichlet L-functions in small intervals
This is a well-studied problem. The number of zeroes of a Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ associated to a primitive even Dirichlet character $\chi$ modulo $q > 1$ up to height $T \geq 1$,
$$N(T,\ch …

$\sum_{d\leq x} (\mu(d)/d) \log(x/d)$: is (the analogue of) Mertens' conjecture still false?
We have that
\[\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{\mu(n)}{n} \log \frac{x}{n} = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{\sigma_0 - i\infty}^{\sigma_0 + i\infty} \frac{1}{\zeta(s + 1)} \frac{x^s}{s^2} \, ds\]
for $\sigma_0$ suffici …

Sign of the function $f(n)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{\mu(k)}{k}$
Yes it does. To see this, note that by partial summation,
$$\frac{1}{\zeta(s + 1)} = s\int_{1}^{\infty}\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{\mu(n)}{n} x^{-s} \, \frac{dx}{x}$$
for all $\Re(s) > 0$. Now let $\Theta$ …

How strong is the requirement of being a Gelbart-Jacquet lift?
The Gelbart-Jacquet lift of a $\mathrm{GL}_2$ cuspidal automorphic representation $\pi$ is an automorphic representation $\Pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_3$. More generally, the Gelbart-Jacquet lift $\Pi$ is a $ …

What are the best known upper bounds for $\frac{1}{L(s, \chi)}$?
For unconditional results, see Theorem 11.4 of Montgomery-Vaughan, which states the following. Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q > 1$. Then there exists a constant $c > 0$ such t …
