We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…

Let $v_3$ denote the usual $3$-adic valuation, and let $s(n, k)$ be the unsigned Stirling number of the first kind. In this paper, for $a\in\{1,2\}$, we determine the values of $v_3(s(a3^n, k))$ for all $1\le k\le a3^n$. More precisely, for…

An integer is a primitive root modulo a prime $p$ if it generates the whole multiplicative group $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^*$. In 1927 Artin conjectured that an integer $a$ which is not $-1$ or a square is a primitive root for infintely…

Consider the following process: Take any four-digit number which has at least two distinct digits. Then, rearrange the digits of the original number in ascending and descending order, take these two numbers, and find the difference between…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

Hasanalizade [1] studied Deaconescu's conjecture for positive composite integer $n$. A positive composite integer $n\geq4$ is said to be a Deaconescu number if $S_2(n)\mid \phi(n)-1$. In this paper, we improve Hasanalizade's result by…

Infinite exponential sequences of distinct prime numbers of the form $\lfloor a c^{n^d}+b\rfloor$, $n\geq 0$, are proved to exist for well chosen real constants $a>0$, $b$, $c>1$, $d>1$, assuming Cramer's conjecture on prime gaps. There is…

We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…

The idea of generating prime numbers through sequence of sets of co-primes was the starting point of this paper that ends up by proving two conjectures, the existence of infinitely many twin primes and the Goldbach conjecture. The main idea…

Let $p$ and $q$ be two distinct fixed prime numbers and $(n_i)_{i\geq 0}$ the sequence of consecutive integers of the form $p^a\cdot q^b$ with $a,b\ge 0$. Tijdeman gave a lower bound (1973) and an upper bound (1974) for the gap size…

Let a and b be non-zero rational numbers that are multiplicatively independent. We study the natural density of the set of primes p for which the subgroup of the multiplicative group of the finite field with p elements generated by (a\mod…

In this paper, the estimation formula of the number of primes in a given interval is obtained by using the prime distribution property. For any prime pairs $p>5$ and $ q>5 $, construct a disjoint infinite set sequence $A_1, A_2, \ldots,…

Let p1, p2,..., pn be distinct prime numbers, and let Nn be their product. We prove that, for any positive integer L that is divisible by the least common multiple of p1 minus one, p2 minus one, and so on, and for integers a1, a2,..., an…

The aim of this note is a proof of a recent conjecture of Kellner concerning the number of distinct prime factors of a particular product of primes. The proof uses profound results from analytic number theory, such as Granville-Ramar\'{e}'s…

We propose a framework to prove Malle's conjecture for the compositum of two number fields based on proven results of Malle's conjecture and good uniformity estimates. Using this method we can prove Malle's conjecture for $S_n\times A$ over…

In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then for an admissible $k$-tuple $\mathcal{H}(x) = \{gx + h_j\}_{j=1}^k$ of linear forms in…

On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis, we give explicit upper bounds on the difference between consecutive prime numbers.

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality $\sigma(n):=\sum_{p|n}p<e^{\gamma} n \log \log n$ is satisfied for $n > 5040$, where $\gamma$ denotes the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We show…

It is shown that if every odd integer $n > 5$ is the sum of three primes, then every even integer $n > 2$ is the sum of two primes. A conditional proof of Goldbach's conjecture, based on Cram\'er's conjecture, is presented. Theoretical and…

Let $p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3,...$ be the sequence of all primes. Let $\epsilon$ be an arbitrarily small but fixed positive number, and fix a coprime pair of integers $q \ge 3$ and $a$. We will establish a lower bound for the number of primes…
