We present a self-contained elementary and detailed exposition of Mertens' own proof of his theorem on the divergence of the series of the reciprocals of the primes and compare it with the modern proofs. His proof contains explicit…
In this article, we prove a generalisation of the Mertens theorem for prime numbers to number fields and algebraic varieties over finite fields, paying attention to the genus of the field (or the Betti numbers of the variety), in order to…
We give here a new proof of a Tauberian Theorem of complex Laplace transform using the Theory of measure and theory of function with bounded variations. However we deduce the simple proof of Prime Number Theorem.
This is an exposition, in 12 pages including all prerequisites and a generalization, of Karamata's little known elementary proof of the Landau-Ingham Tauberian theorem, a result in real analysis from which the Prime Number Theorem follows…
We give a generalized and effective version of Bekehermes' improvement of Newman's Tauberian theorem. To do so we prove an effective version of the Riemann-Lebesgue Lemma for functions of bounded $p$-variation. We apply our Tauberian…
We show that any set containing a positive proportion of the primes contains a 3-term arithmetic progression. An important ingredient is a proof that the primes enjoy the so-called Hardy-Littlewood majorant property. We derive this by…
A 1976 result from Norton may be used to give an asymptotic (but not explicit) description of the constant in Mertens' second theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we give an effective…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we obtain uniform, effective number-field analogues of Mertens' theorems.
The first result of our article is another proof of Mertens' third theorem in the number field setting, which generalises a method of Hardy. The second result concerns the sign of the error term in Mertens' third theorem. Diamond and Pintz…
In this expository article we provide an elegant proof of the one-sided Ingham-Karamata Tauberian theorem. As an application, we present a short deduction of the prime number theorem.
The analogue of Goldie's Theorem for prime rings is proved for rings graded by abelian groups, eliminating unnecessary additional hypotheses used in earlier versions.
We give a new elementary proof of Landau's Prime Ideal Theorem. The proof is an extension of Richter's proof of the Prime Number Theorem. The main result contains other results related to the equidistribution of the prime ideal counting…
This document presents an alternative proof of Sylvester's theorem stating that "the product of $n$ consecutive numbers strictly greater than $n$ is divisible by a prime strictly greater than $n$". In addition, the paper proposes stronger…
In 1874, Mertens proved the approximate formula for partial Euler product for Riemann zeta function at $s=1$, which is called Mertens' theorem. In this paper, we generalize Mertens' theorem for Selberg class and show the prime number…
Starting from the first Hardy-Littlewood conjecture some topics will be covered: an empirical approach to the distribution of the twin primes in classes mod(10) and a simplified proof of the Bruns theorem . Finally, it will be explored an…
Extending a classical estimate of Mertens for the sum of the reciprocals of the first primes, we provide an explicit remainder formula for products of an arbitrary, but fixed, number of primes.
To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…
We provide two new proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers, using the additive Ramsey-theoretic result known as Folkman's theorem (alternatively, one can think of these proofs as using Hindman's theorem). This adds to the existing…
We give an elementary introduction, through illustrative examples but without proofs, to one of the basic consequences of the Langlands programme, namely the law governing the primes modulo which a given irreducible integral polynomial…
A modified Version of the Hardy-Littlewood tauberian Theorem is used to prove under which conditions the moduli of the coefficients |a(n)/n| of schlicht functions tend uniformly to their Hayman Indexes as n tends to infinity.
