We survey results about prime number races, that is, results about the relative sizes of prime counting functions $\pi_{q,a}(x)$, with $q$ fixed and $a$ varying. In particular, we describe recent work by the authors on these problems.
A new bound for the remainder term in the Taylor expansion of the complex exponent $e^{ix}$, $x\in\R$, is proved yielding precise moment-type estimates of the accuracy of the approximation of the characteristic function (the…
We prove an explicit formula for the $p$-adic valuation of the Legendre polynomials $P_n(x)$ evaluated at a prime $p$, and generalize an old conjecture of the third author. We also solve a problem proposed by Cigler in 2017.
In our previous publication we have shown a method for calculating series of even powers of $\pi$ based on the product representation of the $sinc$ function. We refer the readers to [1] for more details. In this work we apply the method to…
We shall give an explicit formula for $\psi(x, q, a)$ with an error term of the form $C/\log^\alpha x$ under the condition that $q<\log^{\alpha_1} x$ is nonexceptional, for various values of $\alpha$ and $\alpha_1$. We shall also give an…
Let $k$ be a number field. Let $q(x_1,\cdots,x_n)$ be a non-degenerate integral quadratic form in $n\geq 3$ variables with coefficients in $k$ and $m\in k^\times$. Let $X$ be the affine quadric defined by $q=m$ in $\mathbb{A}^n_k$. Based on…
Differentiable real function reproducing primes up to a given number and having a differentiable inverse function is constructed. This inverse function is compared with the Riemann-Von Mangoldt exact expression for the number of primes not…
This short article presents explicit expressions for roots of a quartic equation that has all four real roots. Although a general expression for quartic roots is available on Wikipedia, an optimized and slightly shorter expression for only…
While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…
A new characterization of the exponential distribution is obtained. It is based on an equation involving randomly shifted (translated) order statistics. No specific distribution is assumed for the shift random variables. The proof uses a…
We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…
All the known approximations of the number of primes pi(n) not exceeding any given integer n are derived from real-valued functions that are asymptotic to pi(x), such as x/log x, Li(x) and Riemann's function R(x). The degree of…
We show an exact geometric mass formula for superspecial points in the reduction of any quaternionic Shimura variety modulo at a good prime $p$.
In this note we give a bijective proof for the explicit formula giving the total number of principal series of the direct product $\mathbb{Z}_{p^{\alpha_1}} \times \mathbb{Z}_{p^{\alpha_2}}$, where $p$ is a prime number. This new proof is…
This work proposes a proof of the simplest cubic primes counting problem. It shows that the subset of primes {p = n^3 + 2 is prime : n => 1} is an infinite subset of primes. Further, the expected order of magnitude of the cubic primes…
In the paper we prove (modulo the classification of finite simple groups) an analogue of the famous Baer-Suzuki theorem for the $\pi$-radical of a finite group, where $\pi$ is a set of primes
The automaticity $A(x)$ of a set $\mathcal{X}$ is the size of the smallest automaton that recognizes $\mathcal{X}$ on all words of length $\leq x$. We show that the automaticity of the set of primes is at least $x\exp\left(-c(\log\log…
Let $A$ be an absolutely simple abelian surface defined over a number field $K$ with a commutative (geometric) endomorphism ring. Let $\pi_{A, \text{split}}(x)$ denote the number of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ in $K$ such that each prime has norm…
We provide an in-depth analysis of the $\pi$ distribution amplitude in terms of two different Gegenbauer representations. Detailed predictions for the $\pi-\gamma$ transition form factor are presented, obtained with light-cone sum rules.…
We prove several results regarding the distribution of numbers that are the product of a prime and a $k$-th power. First, we prove an asymptotic formula for the counting function of such numbers; this generalises a result of E. Cohen. We…
