A linear combination $aT_r(m)+bT_s(n)$ of an \mbox{$r$-gonal} number $T_r(m)$ and an $s$-gonal number $T_s(n)$ with mutually coprime positive integer coefficients $a$ and $b$ produces infinitely many primes as $m$ and~$n$ varies over the…

In this paper, we prove that there are infinitely many primes of the form $\ell^2 - \ell m + m^2$ such that $2\ell - m$ is also prime. To prove this, we follow along the lines of the work of Fouvry and Iwaniec (1997) who showed that there…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…
