We study a class of approximations to the Riemann zeta function introduced earlier by the second author on the basis of Euler product. This allows us to justify Euler Product Sieve for generation of prime numbers. Also we show that Bounded…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the divisors of $n$. Kalita and Saikia defined a number $n$ to be near superperfect if $2n+d=\sigma(\sigma(n))$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. We extend some of their results about near superperfect…

Let $t$ be random and uniformly distributed in the interval $[T,2T]$, and consider the quantity $N(t+1/\log T) - N(t)$, a count of zeros of the Riemann zeta function in a box of height $1/\log T$. Conditioned on the Riemann hypothesis, we…

By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) =…

Assuming GRH, we prove an explicit upper bound for the number of zeros of a Dedekind zeta function having imaginary part in $[T-a,T+a]$. We also prove a bound for the multiplicity of the zeros.

We establish explicit unconditional results on the graphic properties of the prime gap sequence. Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime number (with $p_0=1$) and $\mathrm{PD}_n = (p_\ell - p_{\ell-1})_{\ell=1}^n$ be the sequence of the first $n$…

We present the first fixed-length elementary closed-form expressions for the prime-counting function, $\pi(n)$, and the $n$-th prime number, $p(n)$. These expressions are arithmetic terms, requiring only a finite and fixed number of…

We prove new explicit conditional bounds for the residue at $s=1$ of the Dedekind zeta-function associated to a number field. Our bounds are concrete and all constants are presented with explicit numerical values.

Let $<\P > \subset \N$ be a multiplicative subsemigroup of the natural numbers $\N = \{1,2,3,...\}$ generated by an arbitrary set $\P$ of primes (finite or infinite). We given an elementary proof that the partial sums $\sum_{n \in < \P >: n…

We prove that the probability $P_N$ for a real random Gaussian $N\times N\times 2$ tensor to be of real rank $N$ is $P_N=(\Gamma((N+1)/2))^N/G(N+1)$, where $\Gamma(x)$, $G(x)$ denote the gamma and Barnes $G$-functions respectively. This is…

We prove an explicit error term for the $\psi(x,\chi)$ function assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Using this estimate, we prove a conditional explicit bound for the number of primes in arithmetic progressions.

Mills proved that there exists a real constant $A>1$ such that for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$ the values $\lfloor A^{3^n}\rfloor$ are prime numbers. No explicit value of $A$ is known, but assuming the Riemann hypothesis one can choose $A=…
