Raising positive integer to $c\in\mathbb{R}-\mathbb{N}$ rarely gives an integer!

To expand on a comment of Lucia, when $c$ is irrational, we can show that there are at most $O((\log N)^2)$ values of $n\leq N$ such that $N^c$ is rational, let alone an integer. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be …

Upper bound of number of prime factors

To reiterate Stanley Yao Xiao's comment, one should not expect that $p-1$ has any more or less prime factors than a typical integer of size $p$. For an arbitrary integer $n$, the bound $$ \omega(n) \l …

Iwaniec & Kowalski partial sums of multiplicative functions

For your second question, I think you're correct in noting that they are incorrectly applying their result. I'm sure some sort of result for the sum of squares characteristic function holds, but it do …

On the nearest integer to $\zeta(1-1/B),B \ge 2$

We can make the error mentioned by Wojowu in his comment explicit by using some results on the Laurent coefficients of the zeta function. There are a few results on this, but I'll just use Theorem 2 o …

Density of fake zeros of Zeta

To add to GH from MO's answer, Chapter 10 of Iwaniec and Kowalski's "Analytic Number Theory" is another good reference. A few of the classical papers are Ingham's "On the Estimation of $N(\sigma,T)$, …

About an asymptotic behavior in number theory

See this paper of Naslund, specifically Proposition 3. That result, along with the prime number theorem, shows that $$ \frac{1}{\pi(N)} \sum_{p\leq N} \left\{ \frac{N}{p} \right\} \sim 1-\gamma, $$ wh …

Large values of $\zeta(1/2+it)$ from sums of short moments

I wrestled with this question for an annoyingly long time. Now understanding things much better, I'm a bit embarrassed that this took me so long to figure out (such is the process of learning though). …

Approximation of partial sum over prime omega function

By partial summation, one has $$ S(N) = N\sum_{n=1}^N \omega(n) - \int_{1}^N \bigg(\sum_{n\leq t} \omega(n)\bigg) dt. $$ Using Mertens' theorem with the classical error term in the prime number theore …

Reference for zero sum estimates of Dirichlet L functions

This follows from Noam's answer and the classical zero-free region for Dirichlet $L$-functions. For a specific reference, see Davenport's Multiplicative Number Theory, Chapter 14. The result quoted be …

Non-trivial upper bound for a sum related to $p^{-1}z \pmod q$ and $q^{-1}z \pmod p$

This is not mean to be a full answer, but one which illustrates how one can prove an estimate like the one in my comment through a rather ``brute force'' approach. To illustrate the idea of the comput …

Mean value of the divisor function over Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

Since asking my question, I have stumbled upon the answer myself, so I post it here in case some future person finds this post. It appears that the only paper that explicitly considers the problem abo …
