Let$Z$($t$) be the classical Hardy function in the theory of Riemann’s zeta-function. An asymptotic formula with an error term$O$($T$^{1/6}log$T$) is given for the integral of$Z$($t$) over the interval [0,$T$], with special attention paid to the critical cases when the fractional part of $\sqrt{T/2\pi }$ is close to $\frac{1}{4}$ or $\frac{3}{4}$ .

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of certain twisted orbital integrals arising from the study of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties. The main tools include the Base Change Fundamental Lemma and q-analogues of the Kostant partition functions. As an application we prove a conjecture of Miaofen Chen and Xinwen Zhu, relating the set of irreducible components of an affine Deligne-Lusztig variety modulo the action of the σ-centralizer group to the Mirkovic-Vilonen basis of a certain weight space of a representation of the Langlands dual group.

In 1962 Sprind\v{z}uk proved Mahler's conjecture in both the real and complex cases. Baker gave a generalized result by using a modified version of Sprind\v{z}uk's method. Later, Baker and Schmidt derived the Hausdorff dimensions of sets which are defiend in terms of approximation by algebraic numbers of bounded degrees by using Baker's theorem. In this article we will prove two analogue theorems in the fields of formal power series over finite finite fields.
