Representation of Integers by Positive Quaternary Quadratic Forms

Let $f(x,y,x,w) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + Dw^2$ , where $D >1$ is an integer such that $D \ne d^2$ and ${{\sqrt n } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\sqrt n } {\sqrt D = n^\theta , 0 < \theta < {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}}}} \right. \kern-0em} {\sqrt D = n^\theta , 0 < \theta < {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}}}$ . Let $rf(n)$ be the number of representations of n by f. It is proved that $r_f (n) = \pi ^2 \frac{n}{{\sqrt D }}\sigma _f (n) + O\left( {\frac{{n^{1 + \varepsilon - c(\theta )} }}{{\sqrt D }}} \right),$ where $\sigma _f (n)$ is the singular series, $c(\theta ) >0$ , and ε is an arbitrarily small positive constant.

On the asymptotic behaviour of the ideal counting function in quadratic number fields

LetK be a quadratic number field with discriminantD and denote byF(n) the number of integral ideals with norm equal ton. Forr≥1 the following formula is proved $$\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {F(n)F(n + r) = M_K (r)x + E_K (x,r).} $$ HereM _k (r) is an explicitly determined function ofr which depends onK, and for every ε>0 the error term is bounded by \(|E_K (x,r)|<< |D|^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2} + \varepsilon } x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 6}} \right. \kern-0em} 6} + \varepsilon } \) uniformly for \(r<< |D|^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 6}} \right. \kern-0em} 6}} \) Moreover,E _k (x,r) is small on average, i.e \(\int_X^{2X} {|E_K (x,r)|^2 dx}<< |D|^{4 + \varepsilon } X^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2} + \varepsilon } \) uniformly for \(r<< |D|X^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 4}} \right. \kern-0em} 4}} \) .     

Lower Bounds for the Riemann Zeta Function on the Critical Line

We establish a relation between the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $\zeta (1/2 + iT + s)$ in the disk $|s| \leqslant H$ and the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $\zeta (1/2 + iT + it)$ on the closed interval $|t| \leqslant H$ for $0 < H(T) \leqslant {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}$ . We prove a theorem on the lower bound for the maximum of the modulus of $0 < H(T) \leqslant {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}$ on the closed interval $|t| \leqslant H$ for $40 \leqslant H(T) \leqslant \log \log T$ .
