Abstract

Let $L(s,f)$ be the $L$-function associated with a newform $f$ of even weight $k$, squarefree level $N$ and trivial nebentypus. In this paper, we establish a new explicit zero-free region for $L(s,f)$. More precisely, we prove that $L(s,f)$ does not vanish in the region $\Re(s)\geq 1-\frac{1}{C\log(kN\max(1,|\Im(s)|))}$ with $C=16.7053$ if $|\Im(s)|\geq 1$ or $|\Im(s)|\leq \frac{0.30992}{\log(kN)}$ and $C=16.9309$ if $\frac{0.30992}{\log(kN)}<|\Im(s)|\leq 1$. This improves a result of Hoey et al. where $445.994$ was shown to be an admissible value for $C$.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
