Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Number theory has been described as a queen of mathematics, which is no longer the case with the development of computers and coding theory, combinatorics, etc. It is more properly attributed as a touchstone of other subjects to develop themselves thorough application to concrete problems. Analytic number theory begins with Dirichlet’s prime number theorem in an arithmetic progression thorough the class number formula. Here one sees the profound interplay between analysis and number theory. Since the advent of Dirichlet’s theorem, analytic methods have been ubiquitous in the development of number theory and related areas. In our Special Issue, we assemble applications of analytic methods (ranging from complex and harmonic analysisto differential equations and functional analysis) to other areas including number theory, combinatorics, etc. We welcome papers which attain analytic expressions and algebraic elucidation thereof, but manuscripts on other relevant topics are also welcome.

In this paper, the approximation of analytic functions by shifts ζP(s+iτ) of Beurling zeta-functions ζP(s) of certain systems P of generalized prime numbers is discussed. It is required that the system of generalized integers NP generated by P satisfies mx,mN1=ax+O(xδ)a>00δ<1, and the function ζP(s) in some strip lying in σ^<σ<1σ^>δ, which has a bounded mean square. Proofs are based on the convergence of probability measures in some spaces. Full article

Let a={am:mN} be a periodic multiplicative sequence of complex numbers and L(s;a), s=σ+it a Dirichlet series with coefficients am. In the paper, we obtain a theorem on the approximation of non-vanishing analytic functions defined in the strip 1/2<σ<1 via discrete shifts L(s+ihtk;a), h>0, kN, where {tk:kN} is the sequence of Gram points. We prove that the set of such shifts approximating a given analytic function is infinite. This result extends and covers that of [Korolev, M.; Laurinčikas, A. A new application of the Gram points. Aequat. Math. 2019, 93, 859–873]. For the proof, a limit theorem on weakly convergent probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied. Full article

In the paper, the approximation of analytic functions on compact sets of the strip {s=σ+itC1/2<σ<1} by shifts F(ζ(s+iu1(τ)),,ζ(s+iur(τ))), where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta-function, u1,,ur are certain differentiable increasing functions, and F is a certain continuous operator in the space of analytic functions, is considered. It is obtained that the set of the above shifts in the interval [T,T+H] with H=o(T), T, has a positive lower density. Additionally, the positivity of a density with a certain exceptional condition is discussed. Examples of considered operators F are given. Full article

Let a={am} and b={bm} be two periodic sequences of complex numbers, and, additionally, a is multiplicative. In this paper, the joint approximation of a pair of analytic functions by shifts (ζnT(s+iτ;a),ζnT(s+iτ,α;b)) of absolutely convergent Dirichlet series ζnT(s;a) and ζnT(s,α;b) involving the sequences a and b is considered. Here, nT and nTT2 as T. The coefficients of these series tend to am and bm, respectively. It is proved that the set of the above shifts in the interval [0,T] has a positive density. This generalizes and extends the Mishou joint universality theorem for the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions. Full article

In this paper, we shall establish a hierarchy of functional equations (as a G-function hierarchy) by unifying zeta-functions that satisfy the Hecke functional equation and those corresponding to Maass forms in the framework of the ramified functional equation with (essentially) two gamma factors through the Fourier–Whittaker expansion. This unifies the theory of Epstein zeta-functions and zeta-functions associated to Maass forms and in a sense gives a method of construction of Maass forms. In the long term, this is a remote consequence of generalizing to an arithmetic progression through perturbed Dirichlet series. Full article

Suppose that Q is a positive defined n×n matrix, and Q[x̲]=x̲TQx̲ with x̲Zn. The Epstein zeta-function ζ(s;Q), s=σ+it, is defined, for σ>n2, by the series ζ(s;Q)=x̲Zn{0̲}(Q[x̲])s, and it has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. Let n4 be even, while φ(t) is an increasing differentiable function with a continuous monotonic bounded derivative φ(t) such that φ(2t)(φ(t))1t, and the sequence {aφ(k)} is uniformly distributed modulo 1. In the paper, it is obtained that 1N#Nk2N:ζ(σ+iφ(k);Q)A, AB(C), for σ>n12, converges weakly to an explicitly given probability measure on (C,B(C)) as N. Full article

In this paper, we consider the simultaneous approximation of tuples of analytic functions by tuples of shifts of Lerch zeta-functions with arbitrary parameters. We prove that there exists a closed set of tuples of functions analytic in the right-hand side of the critical strip, which is approximated by the above tuples of shifts. Further, a generalization for some compositions of tuples of Lerch zeta-functions is given. Full article

The famous Selberg class is defined axiomatically and consists of Dirichlet series satisfying four axioms (Ramanujan hypothesis, analytic continuation, functional equation, multiplicativity). The Selberg–Steuding class S is a complemented Selberg class by an arithmetic hypothesis related to the distribution of prime numbers. In this paper, a joint universality theorem for the functions L from the class S on the approximation of a collection of analytic functions by shifts L(s+ia1τ),,L(s+iarτ), where a1,,ar are real algebraic numbers linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, is obtained. It is proved that the set of the above approximating shifts is infinite, its lower density and, with some exception, density are positive. For the proof, a probabilistic method based on weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied together with the Backer theorem on linear forms of logarithms and the Mergelyan theorem on approximation of analytic functions by polynomials.

We extend Bourgain’s bound for the order of growth of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line to Lerch zeta functions. More precisely, we prove L(λ, α, 1/2 + it) ≪ t13/84+ϵ as t → ∞. For both, the Riemann zeta function as well as for the more general Lerch zeta function, it is conjectured that the right-hand side can be replaced by tϵ (which is the so-called Lindelöf hypothesis). The growth of an analytic function is closely related to the distribution of its zeros. Full article

Chowla’s (inverse) problem (CP) is to mean a proof of linear independence of cotangent-like values from non-vanishing of L(1,χ)=n=1χ(n)n. On the other hand, we refer to determinant expressions for the (relative) class number of a cyclotomic field as the Maillet–Demyanenko determinants (MD). Our aim is to develop the theory of discrete Fourier transforms (DFT) with parity and to unify Chowla’s problem and Maillet–Demyanenko determinants (CPMD) as different-looking expressions of the relative class number via the Dedekind determinant and the base change formula.

The Voronoĭ summation formula is known to be equivalent to the functional equation for the square of the Riemann zeta function in case the function in question is the Mellin tranform of a suitable function. There are some other famous summation formulas which are treated as independent of the modular relation. In this paper, we shall establish a far-reaching principle which furnishes the following. Given a zeta function Z(s) satisfying a suitable functional equation, one can generalize it to Zf(s) in the form of an integral involving the Mellin transform F(s) of a certain suitable function f(x) and process it further as Z˜f(s). Under the condition that F(s) is expressed as an integral, and the order of two integrals is interchangeable, one can obtain a closed form for Z˜f(s). Ample examples are given: the Lipschitz summation formula, Koshlyakov’s generalized Dedekind zeta function and the Plana summation formula. In the final section, we shall elucidate Hamburger’s results in light of RHBM correspondence (i.e., through Fourier–Whittaker expansion). Full article
