We develop conjectures and theorems expressing the idea that the prime sequence exhibits computational irreducibility in the transition from one prime to its successor. Informally, given a prime pp p, no general algorithm can compute the…

A conjecture of Cai-Zhang-Shen for figurate primes says that every integer $k>1$ is the sum of two figurate primes. In this paper we give an equivalent proposition to the conjecture. By considering extreme value problems with constraints…

A scarcely known generalization of Goldbach's conjecture introduced by Hardy and Littlewood states that for every pair of (relatively prime) positive integers m1 and m2, every sufficiently large integer n satisfying certain simple…

The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, that $\pi(x)+\pi(y) \geq \pi(x+y)$ for integers $x$ and $y$ with $\min\{x,y\}\geq 2$, was formulated in 1923. It continues to attract attention to this day, almost 100 years later. In 1975 Udrescu…

We prove a result relating the Jacobian ideal and the generalized test ideal associated to a principal ideal in $R=k[x_1,...,x_n]$ with $[k:k^p]<\infty$ or in $R=k[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ with an arbitrary field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. As a…

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,…

ABSTRACT. In this article we present a point of view that highlights the importance of finding the upper bounds for prime gaps, in order to solve the twin primes conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture. For this purpose, we present a…

We establish, utilizing the Hardy-Littlewood Circle Method, an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of primes whose differences lie in the image of a fixed polynomial. We also include a generalization of this result where differences…

In 2013, Zhi-Wei Sun proposed a Romanov-type conjecture stating that every integer $n > 1$ can be written as $n = k + m$ with $k, m \ge 1$ such that $2^k + m$ is a prime. In this paper, we unconditionally prove that the natural numbers…

We prove a common generalization to several mass partition results using hyperplane arrangements to split $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two sets. Our main result implies the ham-sandwich theorem, the necklace splitting theorem for two thieves, a…

Consider the set of all natural numbers that are co-prime to primes less than or equal to a given prime. Then given a consecutive pair of numbers in that set with an arbitrary even gap, we prove there exists an unbounded number of actual…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of all primes and $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$. For any $n\ge 2$, let $P^+(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$. For $0<c<1$, let $$T_c(x)=\#\{p\le x:p\in \mathcal{P},P^+(p-1)\ge p^c\}.$$ In this…

In 1876, Edouard Lucas showed that if an integer $b$ exists such that $b^{n-1} \equiv 1 (\mathrm{mod} \ n)$ and $b^{(n-1)/p} \not\equiv 1( \mathrm{mod} \ n)$ for all prime divisors $p$ of $n-1$ , then $n$ is prime, a result known as Lucas's…

A conjecture of Mordell states that if $p$ is a prime and $p$ is congruent to $3$ mod $4$, then $p$ does not divide $y$ where $(x,y)$ is the fundamental solution to $x^{2}-py^{2}=1$. The conjecture has been verified for primes not exceeding…
