We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…

We will prove that for every $m\geq 0$ there exists an $\varepsilon=\varepsilon(m)>0$ such that if $0<\lambda<\varepsilon$ and $x$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$ and $\lambda$, then $$|\lbrace n\leq x: |[n,n+\lambda\log n]\cap…

The distribution of differences of consecutive members of sequences of primes is investigated. A quantitative measure for oscillations among these differences is the curvature of the sequence. If the sequence is not too sparse, then sharp…

In this paper we study the problem of detecting prime numbers between all consecutive cubes. Firstly, we use a large computation to show that there is always a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for $n^3\leq 1.649\cdot 10^{40}$. In addition,…

We implement the Maynard-Tao method of detecting primes in tuples to investigate small gaps between primes in arithmetic progressions, with bounds that are uniform over a range of moduli.

The computer data up to $2^{44}\approx 1.76\times 10^{13}$ on the gaps between consecutive twins is presented. The simple derivation of the heuristic formula describing computer results contained in the recent papers by P.F.Kelly and…

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…

In this note, we generalise two results on prime numbers in short intervals. The first result is Ingham's theorem which connects the zero-density estimates with short intervals where the prime number theorem holds, and the second result is…

We prove a modification as well as an improvement of a result of K. Ford, D. R. Heath-Brown and S. Konyagin concerning prime avoidance of square-free numbers and perfect powers of prime numbers.

Although the prime numbers are deterministic, they can be viewed, by some measures, as pseudo-random numbers. In this article, we numerically study the pair statistics of the primes using statistical-mechanical methods, especially the…

We prove some theorems which give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime numbers among the terms of a sequence which has pairwise relatively prime terms.

We show that for every positive integer $k$, there exist $k$ consecutive primes having the property that if any digit of any one of the primes, including any of the infinitely many leading zero digits, is changed, then that prime becomes…

We show assuming RH that phenomena concerning pairs of zeros established $via$ pair correlations occur with positive density (with at most a slight adjustment of the constants). Also, while a double zero is commonly considered to be a close…

We prove that the set of normalized differences between primes, defined as $S = \{(p-q)/(p+q) : p > q \text{ are primes}\}$, is dense in the open unit interval $(0,1)$. Our proof provides an explicit construction algorithm with quantitative…

Based on the primes less than $4 \times 10^{18}$, Oliveira e Silva et al. (2014) conjectured an asymptotic formula for the sum of the $k$th power of the gaps between consecutive primes less than a large number $x$. We show that the…

We prove the analog of Cram\'er's short intervals theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions and prime ideals, under the relevant Riemann Hypothesis. Both results are uniform in the data of the underlying structure. Our approach is based…

We study the minimal gap statistic for fractional parts of sequences of the form $\mathcal A^\alpha = \{\alpha a(n)\}$ where $\mathcal A = \{a(n)\}$ is a sequence of distinct of integers. Assuming that the additive energy of the sequence is…

Let $(X,B_X,\mu,T)$ be a measure-preserving probability system with $T$ is invertible. Suppose that $A\in B_X$ with $\mu(A)>0$ and $\epsilon>0$. For any $m\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many primes $p_0,p_1,\ldots,p_m$ with…

Let $\alpha$ be a real number such that $1< \alpha <2$ and let $x_0=x_0(\alpha)$ be a {\rm(}unique{\rm)} positive solution of the equation $$ x^{\alpha-1} -\frac{\pi}{e^2\sqrt{3}}x +1=0. $$ Then we prove that for each positive integer…

We study Gaussian primes lying in narrow sectors, and show that almost all such sectors contain the expected number of primes, if the sectors are not too narrow.
