  1. A problem of Ramanujan, Erdos and Katai on the iterated divisor function.

    Authors: Jan-Christoph Schlage-Puchta, Kevin Ford, Yvonne Buttkewitz, Christian Elsholtz
    Subjects: Number Theory
    Abstract

    We determine asymptotically the maximal order of log d(d(n)), where d(n) is
    the number of positive divisors of n. This solves a problem first put forth by
    Ramanujan in 1915.

  2. An inequality for means with applications.

    Authors: Jan-Christoph Schlage-Puchta

    Abstract

    We show that an almost trivial inequality for the first and second mean of a
    random variable can be used to give non-trivial improvements on deep results.
    As applications we improve on results on lower bounds for the Riemann
    zeta-function on the critical line, the determinant of a skew-symmetric matrix
    with entries $\pm 1$, and on the maximal order of an irreducible character of
    the symmetric group.

  3. Meromorphic Continuation of the Goldbach generating function.

    Authors: Gautami Bhowmik, Jan-Christoph Schlage-Puchta
    Subjects: Number Theory
    Abstract

    We consider the Dirichlet series associated to the number of representations
    of an integer as the sum of primes. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis on the
    distribution of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function we obtain the domain of
    meromorphic continuation of this series.

  4. Essential singularities of Euler products.

    Authors: Gautami Bhowmik, Jan-Christoph Schlage-Puchta
    Subjects: Number Theory
    Abstract

    We classify singularities of Dirichlet series having Euler products which are
    rational functions for p and p^{-s} for p a prime number and give examples of
    natural boundaries from zeta functions of groups and height zeta functions.
