On the error term in the explicit formula of Riemann--von Mangoldt

We provide an explicit $O(x\log x/T)$ error term for the Riemann--von Mangoldt formula by making results of Wolke (1983) and Ramaré (2016) explicit. We also include applications to primes between consecutive powers, the error term in the prime number theorem and an inequality of Ramanujan.

An explicit mean-value estimate for the PNT in intervals

This paper gives an explicit version of Selberg's 1943 mean-value estimate for the prime number theorem in intervals under the Riemann hypothesis. Two applications are given: for primes in short intervals, and Goldbach numbers (sums of two primes) in short intervals. Under the Riemann hypothesis, we show there exists a prime in $(y,y+32277\log^2 y]$ for at least half the $y\in[x,2x]$ for all $x\geq 2$, and at least one Goldbach number in $(x,x+9696 \log^2 x]$ for all $x\geq 2$.

Primes between consecutive powers

This paper updates the explicit interval estimate for primes between consecutive powers. It is shown that there is least one prime between $n^{155}$ and $(n+1)^{155}$ for all $n\geq 1$. This result is in part obtained with a new explicit version of Goldston's 1983 estimate for the error in the truncated Riemann--von Mangoldt explicit formula.

Explicit Interval Estimates for Prime Numbers

Using a smoothing function and recent knowledge on the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, we compute pairs of $(Δ,x_0)$ such that for all $x \geq x_0$ there exists at least one prime in the interval $(x(1 - Δ^{-1}), x]$.

Two explicit divisor sums

We give explicit bounds on sums of $d(n)^2$ and $d_4(n)$, where $d(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$ and $d_4(n)$ is the number of ways of writing $n$ as a product of four numbers. In doing so we make a slight improvement on the upper bound for class numbers of quartic number fields.
