Legendre's Conjecture is one of the most elegant open problems in Number Theory, which states that there is a prime between consecutive two perfect squares. In this note, we prove the conjecture holds true and also discuss the related…
A relationship between nilpotency and primeness in a module is investigated. Reduced modules are expressed as sums of prime modules. It is shown that presence of nilpotent module elements inhibits a module from possessing good structural…
We study the distribution modulo one of linear recurrent sequences of real numbers. We prove criteria for the finiteness of the set of limit values of the fractional parts of such a sequence and give lower bounds for the maximal distance…
We give the first examples of infinite sets of primes S such that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over Z[S^{-1}] has a negative answer. In fact, we can take S to be a density 1 set of primes. We show also that for some such S there is a punctured…
Following Lazard, we study the $N$-series of a group $G$ and their associated graded Lie algebras. The main examples we consider are the lower central series (LCS), Stallings' rational and mod-$q$ versions, and Zassenhaus' mod-$p$ version…
New exceptional (i.e. non-repeating) prime number multiplets are given and formulated in terms of arithmetic progressions, along with laws governing them. Accompanying repeating prime number multiplets are pointed out. Prime number…
A modified Lagrange Polynomial is introduced for polynomial extrapolation, which can be used to estimate the equally spaced values of a polynomial function. As an example of its application, this article presents a prime-generating…
We introduce a certain family of Drinfeld modules that we propose as analogues of the Legendre normal form elliptic curves. We exhibit explicit formulas for a certain period of such Drinfeld modules as well as formulas for the supersingular…
Dirichlet's theorem guarantees infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo q, but the analytic mechanism underlying this separation is often difficult to visualize directly. In this article we construct simplified…
For a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, and also trinomials of some special form, we show that, under some natural conditions (necessary for quadratic polynomials), the set…
Necessary and sufficient conditions under which two real functions defined on the real interval can be separated by a polynomial are given. An immediate consequence of the main result is the existence of the polynomial separation of convex…
New Mersenne conjectures. The problems of simplicity, common prime divisors and free from squares of numbers $L(n) = 2^{2n}\pm2^n\pm1$ are investigated. Wonderful formulas $gcd $ for numbers $L (n) $ and numbers repunit are proved.
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number. We find all the possible subgroups $G$ of ${\rm GL}_2 ( \mathbb{Z} / p \mathbb{Z} )$ such that there exists a number field $k$ and an elliptic curve ${\mathcal{E}}$ defined over $k$ such that the ${\rm Gal}…
Let $ p $ be a prime lager than 3. Let $k$ be a number field, which does not contain the subfield of $\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_{p^2})$ of degree $p$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that…
We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…
This document presents an alternative proof of Sylvester's theorem stating that "the product of $n$ consecutive numbers strictly greater than $n$ is divisible by a prime strictly greater than $n$". In addition, the paper proposes stronger…
In this note, we give examples of formal power series satisfying certain conditions that cannot be realized as Hilbert series of finitely generated modules. This answers to the negative a question raised in a recent article by the second…
In this paper, we make some conjectures on prime numbers that are sharper than those found in the current literature. First we describe our studies on Legendre's Conjecture which is still unsolved. Next, we show that Brocard's Conjecture…
We discuss some examples in which symplectic monodromy (provably or conjecturally) splits off the symplectic mapping class group, hoping to illustrate different techniques and inputs to the arguments. Along the way we formulate several open…
We study inverse factorial series and their relation to Stirling numbers of the first kind. We prove a special representation of the polylogarithm function in terms of series with such numbers. Using various identities for Stirling numbers…
