A linear combination $aT_r(m)+bT_s(n)$ of an \mbox{$r$-gonal} number $T_r(m)$ and an $s$-gonal number $T_s(n)$ with mutually coprime positive integer coefficients $a$ and $b$ produces infinitely many primes as $m$ and~$n$ varies over the…
The p-rough numbers are those numbers all of whose prime factors are greater than p. These are exactly those numbers left after Eratosthenes sieve has been advanced from 2 through the prime p. Here we show that for fixed p there is a line…
While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…
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…
Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians since antiquity, with ongoing efforts to uncover both their properties and ever-larger examples. While giant primes rarely aid cryptography, they find use in areas such as locally decodable…
We study the relationship between numerical solutions for inverting Tippe Top and the structure of the dynamical equations. The numerical solutions confirm oscillatory behaviour of the inclination angle $\theta(t)$ for the symmetry axis of…
We exhibit a family of dynamical systems arising from rational points on elliptic curves in an attempt to mimic the familiar toral automorphisms. At the non-archimedean primes, a continuous map is constructed on the local elliptic curve…
We study the geometry of the Sieve of Eratosthenes. We introduce some concepts as Focals and Extremes. We find a symmetry in the distribution of the Focals (all the information about the primes is contained into a small set of numbers). We…
Differentiable real function reproducing primes up to a given number and having a differentiable inverse function is constructed. This inverse function is compared with the Riemann-Von Mangoldt exact expression for the number of primes not…
Each elliptic curve can be embedded uniquely in the projective plane, up to projective equivalence. The hessian curve of the embedding is generically a new elliptic curve, whose isomorphism type depends only on that of the initial elliptic…
We construct a sieve that enumerates rational ``imbalances'' of the form $(p-q)/(p+q)$ for integers $p\ge2$ and $1\le q<p$, ordered lexicographically by $(p,q)$. Each imbalance is reduced to lowest terms, and we record the sequence of…
A subset of the positive integers is dynamically central syndetic if it contains the times that a point returns to a neighborhood of itself in a minimal topological dynamical system. These sets are part of the highly-influential link…
In this work I look at the distribution of primes by calculation of an infinite number of intersections. For this I use the set of all numbers which are not elements of a certain times table in each case. I am able to show that it exists a…
This research presents the results of a study on the existence and frequency distribution of the shell primes defined herein as prime numbers that result from the calculation of the "half-shell" of an p-dimensional entity of the form…
This analysis which uses new mathematical methods aims at proving the Riemann hypothesis and figuring out an approximate base for imaginary non-trivial zeros of zeta function at very large numbers, in order to determine the path that those…
We use recurrence equations (alias difference equations) to enumerate the number of formula-representations of positive integers using only addition and multiplication, and using addition, multiplication, and exponentiation, where all the…
We consider the space of all representations of the commutator subgroup of a knot group into Z/p, p is prime. As proven by D. Silver and S. Williams, this space can be completely described by a finite oriented graph. We describe the lengths…
We give an informal survey of the historical development of computations related to prime number distribution and zeros of the Riemann zeta function.
We present many novel results in number theory, including a double series formula for the natural logarithm and a proof concerning the H\"older mean based on the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function. We find a harmonic mean…
Recent work by Craig, van Ittersum, and Ono constructs explicit expressions in the partition functions of MacMahon that detect the prime numbers. Furthermore, they define generalizations, the MacMahonesque functions, and prove there are…
