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.

A new upper bound for $|\zeta(1+ it)|$

It is known that $|\zeta(1+ it)|\ll (\log t)^{2/3}$. This paper provides a new explicit estimate, viz.\ $|\zeta(1+ it)|\leq 3/4 \log t$, for $t\geq 3$. This gives the best upper bound on $|\zeta(1+ it)|$ for $t\leq 10^{2\cdot 10^{5}}$.

A modest improvement on the function $S(T)$

This paper contains a small improvement to the explicit bounds on the growth of the function $S(T)$. It is shown how more substantial improvements are possible if one has better explicit bounds on the growth of $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|$.

Improvements to Turing's Method

This paper refines the argument of Lehman by reducing the size of the constants in Turing's method. This improvement is given in Theorem 1 and scope for further improvements is also given. Analogous improvements to Dirichlet L-functions and Dedekind zeta-functions are also included.

Gram's Law Fails a Positive Proportion of the Time

This paper extends the work done by Titchmarsh on Gram's Law (an attempt to locate the zeroes of the zeta-function on the critical line). Herewith it is shown that a positive proportion of Gram intervals violate Gram's Law; and also that a weaker notion of Gram's Law is valid over a positive proportion of intervals.
