On the divisor function in short intervals

Let d(n) denote the number of positive divisors of the natural number n. The aim of this paper is to investigate the validity of the asymptotic formula

$\begin{array}{lll}\sum \limits_{x < n \leq x+h(x)}d(n)\sim h(x)\log x\end{array}$

for \({x \to + \infty,}\) assuming a hypothetical estimate on the mean

$\begin{array}{lll} \int \limits_X^{X+Y}(\Delta(x+h(x))-\Delta (x))^2\,{d}x, \end{array}$

which is a weakened form of a conjecture of M. Jutila.

Dirichlet series obtained from the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem

In this paper we consider the Dirichlet series obtained from the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem. We shall prove their analytic continuations and determine the locations of poles. We shall also discuss the relation between our results and the conjecture of Lau and Tsang on the mean square estimate of the error term.     

On the average orders of the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem

Let Δ(x) be the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem. The purpose of this paper is to study the difference between two kinds of mean value formulas of Δ(x), that is, the mean value formulas and ∑_n?xΔ(n)^k with a natural number k. In particular we study the case k=2 and 3 in detail.     

Values of the divisor function on short intervals

In this paper we prove (in a rather more precise form) two conjectures of P. Erdös about the maximum and minimum values of the divisor function on intervals of length k.

Weyl asymptotics of bisingular operators and Dirichlet divisor problem

We consider a class of pseudodifferential operators, with crossed vector valued symbols, defined on the product of two closed manifolds. We study the asymptotic expansion of the counting function of positive selfadjoint operators in this class. Using a general Theorem of Aramaki, we can determine the first term of the asymptotic expansion of the counting function and, in a special case, we are able to find the second term. We give also some examples, emphasizing connections with problems of analytic number theory, in particular with Dirichlet divisor function.

On the general additive divisor problem

We obtain a new upper bound for the sum Σ _h≤H Δ _k (N, h) when 1 ≤ H ≤ N, k ∈ ℕ, k ≥ 3, where Δ _k (N, h) is the (expected) error term in the asymptotic formula for Σ _N<n≤2N d _k (n)d _k (n + h), and d _k (n) is the divisor function generated by ζ(s) ^k . When k = 3, the result improves, for H ≥ N ^1/2, the bound given in a recent work of Baier, Browning, Marasingha and Zhao, who dealt with the case k = 3.     

On the exceptional set in Goldbach’s problem in short intervals

Let 1/5 < θ ≤ 1. We prove that there exists a positive constant δ such that the number of even integers in the interval [X, X + X ^θ] which are not a sum of two primes is 《 X ^θ−δ. The proof uses the circle method, a sieve method, exponential sum estimates and zero-density estimates for L-functions. Current address: Department of Mathematics, 20014 University of Turku, Finland.

On the Dirichlet problem

A particular case of the Dirichlet problem is solved using the Convergence Theorem for discrete-time martingales and the mean value property of harmonic functions as the main tools.     

New estimates of the remainder in an asymptotic formula in the multidimensional Dirichlet divisor problem

We obtain a new value of the Karatsuba constant in the multidimensional Dirichlet divisor problem. We also find a new value of the exponent of the main parameter in the estimate of the mean value of the remainder in a given asymptotics. The proof of the main statements is based on the derivation of a new estimate of the Carleson abscissa in the theory of the Riemann zeta function.
