What is meant by singular hyperplane of $c(w, \cdot)$? (global intertwining operator related to Eisenstein series)
Let $P_0$ be a minimal $\mathbb{Q}$-parabolic subgroup of $G$, a semisimple linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then $P_0 = M_0 N_0$ where $M_0$ is a Levi subgroup of $P_0$. Let $E^G_{P_0}$ be ...

Primes with given Hamming weight
If I understand correctly, in the following MO-thread
Are There Primes of Every Hamming Weight?
two users of the site claim that it has been already proven that, for every sufficiently large $n \in \...

Estimate related to the Möbius function
I need to know, or at least have a good bound for, the asymptotic behaviour on $x$ of amount of integers less or equal than $x$ that are square free and with exactly $k$ primes on its decomposition. ...

An implication of the Zagier et al result on the hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials for the Riemann zeta function?
In their paper recently published in the PNAS, Zagier et al demonstrated that
The Jensen polynomials $J_{\alpha}^{d,n}(X)$ of the Riemann zeta function of degree $d$ and shift $n$ are hyperbolic for ...

Positive proportion of logarithmic gaps between consecutive primes
For $x, \lambda > 0$, define
$$S_\lambda(x) := \#\{p_{n+1} \leq x : p_{n+1} - p_n \geq \lambda \log x\} ,$$
where $p_n$ is the $n$th prime number. It is known [1] that an uniform version of the ...

Primes $p\in(n,2n)$ with $(\frac{-n}p)=-1$
Bertrand's postulate proved by Chebyshev states that for any $x>1$ there is a prime $p$ in the interval $(x,2x)$. In 2012 I considered some refinements of this by imposing additional requirement ...

Question on an application of Langlands' result on the constant term of Eisenstein series (Is this a typo?)
I would like to understand an argument in https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF01393904.pdf, which uses Langlands' result on the constant term of Eisenstein series, but I'm not getting it ...

Why do Maynard-Tao weights succeed?
I'm attempting to understand why the Maynard-Tao weights are successful in proving bounded gaps between primes, but the GPY weights are not.
These two posts do an excellent job in giving an overview ...

The minimal volume of the intersection of two $\mathscr{l}_1$-ball in high dimension
We define
$$B_1(r,c) = \{x\in\mathbb{R}^d : \Vert{}x-c\Vert_1 \le r\}$$
Now for arbitrary constant $r \ge s > 0$, given constant $\epsilon \in (r-s,r+s)$, considering $v \in \mathbb{R}^d$ such ...

Rate of convergence of the prime zeta function P(2)
For an application in statistical group theory, we need explicit upper and lower bounds that an expert in number theory (I am not one) may know how to prove.
Question 1: What are "good" bounds $f_1(x)...

Conditional bound on RH for $\Re\left(\sum_{p\leq\sqrt{x}}\frac{(1/2)}{p^{1+2it}}\right)$
I would like to prove that
Assume RH. Let $T$ large, $2\leq x \leq T^2$ and $T\leq t \leq 2T$, then
$$
\log|\zeta(1/2+it))|\leq \Re\left(\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{1}{p^{1/2+1/\log x+it}}\frac{\log(x/p)}...

Upper bound of signed exponential sums
I am wondering whether I can get the upper bound in closed form of
