In this paper, we study a Riesz-type weighted sum of the Liouville function, $f(x):=-\sum_{n\le x}\frac{\lambda(n)\log n}{\sqrt n}\log\frac{x}{n}$ for sufficiently large $x$. Motivated by a recent research on the sign criteria for the Riemann Hypothesis arising from weighted prime-counting functions, we investigate the sign behavior of $f(x)$ and its relation to the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We first prove that if $f(x)$ is non-negative for all sufficiently large $x$, then the Riemann Hypothesis holds. The proof is based on the Mellin transform of $f$ and the analytic properties of $\frac{\zeta(2s)}{\zeta(s)}$. Conversely, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, the Simple Zero Conjecture, and an absolute convergence condition involving the nontrivial zeta zeros, we derive an explicit formula for $f(x)$ in terms of these zeros. In particular, we show that $f(x)\sim \frac{(\log x)^3}{12|\zeta(\frac{1}{2})|}$ as $x\to \infty$. Consequently, we show that under these hypotheses, $f(x)$ is eventually positive.
Let $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ and $T(\Omega)$ denote the first Dirichlet eigenvalue and torsional rigidity of a bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, and let $M=\max_\Omega u$, where $u$ is the torsion function. We prove the sharp inequalities $\pi^2/24<\lambda_1(\Omega)T(\Omega)/|\Omega|<\pi^2/12$. This proves...
Sendov's conjecture, first formulated in 1958, asserts that if a complex polynomial $f$ of degree $n \geq 2$ has all its zeros in the closed unit disk ${z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| \leq 1}$, then, for every zero $\lambda_0$ of $f$, there exists a critical point $\zeta$ of $f$ such that $|\zeta-\lambda_0| \leq 1$. The conjec...
Let $\pi_n$ be the monic polynomial of degree $n$ orthogonal on $[-c,c]$, $0<c\leq1$, with respect to the Jacobi weight $(1-x)^\alpha(1+x)^\beta$, where $-1<\alpha<\beta$. Gautschi conjectured that \[ \left[ \frac{\pi_n(-c)}{\pi_n(c)} \right]^2 \left(\frac{1-c}{1+c}\right)^{\beta-\alpha}<1. \] By his variation formula,...

We construct finite Heath-Brown-type identities for the fractional powers $\zeta(s)^{\pm a/b}$ of the Riemann zeta-function, for every reduced fraction $a/b$ with $0<a/b<1$, from Newton's binomial series in the algebra of arithmetic functions, and we use them to prove the Vinogradov-quality bound $\sum_{n \le x} d_{\pm...
Very recently, Lech Mazur proved the celebrated Sendov conjecture, and Terence Tao subsequently distilled the main ideas of the proof in a blog post. In this paper, we establish a quantitative strengthening of Sendov's conjecture, namely the quadratic Tang--Zhang inequality. Let $p$ be a polynomial of degree $n\ge2$ wh...
Consider the random lacunary series $f(z) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\xi_k}{\sqrt{k}} \, z^{2^k}$ on the unit disk, where $\{ \xi_k \}$ are independent standard complex Gaussian random variables. We show that almost surely, a.e. $\zeta \in \partial \mathbb{D}$ is a Plessner point of $f$, yet the image of every Stolz ang...
