Prove that $ \int_0^1 \text{Li}_2(\frac{1-x^2}{4}) \frac{2}{3+x^2}dx= \frac{\pi^3 \sqrt{3}}{486}$
I would like to prove that $$ \int_0^1 \text{Li}_2(\frac{1-x^2}{4}) \frac{2}{3+x^2}dx= \frac{\pi^3 \sqrt{3}}{486}$$ It's known that $\Im \text{Li}_3(e^{2πi/3})= \frac{2\pi^3}{81}$, but I struggle to ...

Convergence of Poincaré Series
I am reading Iwaniec’s Topics in Classical Automorphic Forms Chapter 3 on Poincaré Series. The set up is for some Fuchsian group of first kind $\Gamma$, some multiplier system $\theta$ of weight $k$. ...

Sum of an arithmetic function upto x with gcd(n, q) = 1 for fixed q [closed]
Given some general arithmetic function $A(n)$ with a known asymptotic formula for $\sum_{n \le x}A(n)$, is there any way to figure out the asymptotic formula for $$\sum_{\substack{n \le x \\ \gcd(n,q) ...

Does analytic continuation preserve equality after rearranging a Dirichlet-type double sum when one side is made absolutely convergent by a weight?
Let $F(n,d)$ be an arithmetic function of two variables (for example $F(n,d)$ could involve $\mu(d)$, $\lambda(d)$, divisor functions). Then let $$ A(n) := \sum_{d \le n} F(n,d) $$ is always a finite ...

Getting confused about log of the zeta function...
I am getting very confused with taking complex logarithm... I know that the $\zeta(s)$ has the Euler product $$\zeta(s) = \prod_p (1 - p^{-s})^{-1}$$ for $Re(s) > 1$. Furthermore, we can deduce ...

Clean version of inequality for $\Gamma(z)$ - known?
Let $z=x+i y$, $x\geq 1/2$. Is the following inequality true? $$|\Gamma(z)|\leq (2\pi)^{1/2} |z|^{x-1/2} e^{-\pi |y|/2}$$ If you allow a fudge factor such as $e^{\frac{1}{6|z|}}$ on the right side, ...

Why does this surplus-weighted Dirichlet sum reproduce the Riemann zeta function so closely?
I’ve been experimenting with a surplus-weighted Dirichlet series that seems to replicate the local behavior of the Riemann zeta function. Below is the definition and a set of plots comparing it to $\...

Technical step in the proof of Linnik's theorem in Iwaniec-Kowalski (18.82)
Going through the proof of Linnik's theorem in Iwaniec and Kowalski's Analytic number theory, I came across an affirmation I don't really understand. On Page 440, starting from the explicit formula ...

Abel summation for$ \frac{1}{n\log n}$
I'm studying analytic number theory and am currently solving some problems that consist of applying Abel's summation formula to prove certain series are equal to something well-known. I'm a bit stuck ...

Why does $\sum_{1 \le m \le q/2} \frac{1}{m} \le \log q$ hold on page 199 of *Analytic Number Theory* by Iwaniec and Kowalski?
I am reading about exponential sums in Analytic Number Theory by Iwaniec and Kowalski, page 199. At one point, they use the inequality $ \sum_{1 \le m \le q/2} \frac{1}{m} \le \log q. $ I understand ...

Explicit bound on prime gaps assuming RH (Cramer's Theorem)
Cramer, along with his conjecture $$g_n=O(\log^2 p_n)$$ also proved, assuming Riemann Hypothesis, $$g_n=O(\sqrt{p_n}\log p_n)$$ However no explicit estimates were provided. Have anyone made it ...

Analytic resummation of a series involving modified Bessel functions $K_\nu $
I am interested in whether the following infinite series can be resummed or expressed in a more compact analytic form: \begin{align} S(t) = \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \left[ K_0\!\big((1 + 2n)t\big) \;+\; ...
