For $m,q \in \mathbb{N}$, we call an $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m) \in \prod_{i=1}^m (\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\times$ good if there are infinitely many consecutive primes $p_1,\ldots,p_m$ satisfying $p_i \equiv a_i \pmod{q}$ for all $i$. We…

An integer $k$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $k^2x\equiv k$ (mod $n$). This holds true if and only if $k$ possesses a weak order (mod $n$), i.e., there is an integer $m\ge 1$ such that $k^{m+1} \equiv…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. A positive integer $n$ is $k$-\textit{gleeful} if $n$ can be represented as the sum of $k$th powers of consecutive primes. For example, $35=2^3+3^3$ is a $3$-gleeful number, and $195=5^2+7^2+11^2$ is $2$-gleeful.…

Let $q$ be a prime. We give an elementary proof of the fact that for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$, the proportion of $k$-element subsets of $\mathbb{Z}$ that contain a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime, is zero. This result holds regardless…

We prove that it is always possible to find a permutation $p$ on the set $\{1,...,n\}$ such that $c+p(c)$ is prime for all $c \in \{1,...,n\}.$

Let $h_{(m,k)}$ be the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{1-2m^k}).$ We prove that for any odd natural number $k,$ there exists $m_0$ such that $k \mid h_{(m,k)}$ for all odd $m > m_0.$ We also prove that for any odd $m \geq 3,$ $k \mid…

Let $K$ be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0. If $K$ is a number field, assume the $abc$-conjecture for $K$. We prove a variant of Zsigmondy's theorem for ramified primes in preimage fields of rational functions in…

We study the maximum multiplicity $\mathcal{M}(k,n)$ of a simple transposition $s_k=(k \: k+1)$ in a reduced word for the longest permutation $w_0=n \: n-1 \: \cdots \: 2 \: 1$, a problem closely related to much previous work on sorting…

We give a short generating function proof of the Almkvist-Meurman theorem: For integers $h$ and $k\ne0$, define the numbers $M_n(h,k)$ by $kx(e^{hx}-1)/(e^{kx}-1)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty M_n(h,k) x^n/n!$. Equivalently, $M_n(h,k) = k^n(B_n(h/k) -…

Let $A(p,n,k)$ be the number of $p$-tuples of commuting permutations of $n$ elements whose permutation action results in exactly $k$ orbits or connected components. We formulate the conjecture that, for every fixed $p$ and $n$, the…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

We generalize the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new…

Let $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\hdots,\pi_n)$ be permutation of the elements $1,2,\hdots,n. $ Positive integer $k\leq2^{n-1}$ we call index of $\pi,$ if in its binary notation as $n$-digital binary number, the 1's correspond to the ascent points. We…

We compute the algebraic K-theory of the non-commutative ring k<x_1,...,x_n>/(m^a) when k is a perfect field of positive characteristic and m=(x_1,...,x_n). We express the answer in terms of the truncation poset Witt vectors developed in…

In this paper, we develop Furstenberg's proof of infinity of primes, and prove several results about prime divisors of sequences of integers, including the celebrated Schur's theorem. In particular, we give a simple proof of a classical…

We present and analyze an algorithm to enumerate all integers $n\le x$ that can be written as the sum of consecutive $k$th powers of primes, for $k>1$. We show that the number of such integers $n$ is asymptotically bounded by a constant…

We give an exact coefficients formula of any infinite product of power series with constant term equal to $1$, by using structures from partitions of integers and permutation groups. This is an universal theorem for various of Binomial-type…

Polignac [1] conjectured that for every even natural number $2k (k\geq1)$, there exist infinitely many consecutive primes $p_n$ and $p_{n+1}$ such that $p_{n+1}-p_n=2k$. A weakened form of this conjecture states that for every $k\geq1$,…

A triple of positive integers (d,h,m) is admissible if for any m given masses in R^d there exist h hyperplanes that cut each of these masses into 2^h equal pieces. We present an elementary reduction which combined with results by Ramos…

Let $k\geq2$ be an integer. The aim of this paper is to investigate the distribution of $k$-full integers between three successive $k$-th powers. More precisely, for any integers $\ell,m\ge0$, we establish the explicit asymptotic density…
