In this short note, we give two proofs of the infinitude of primes via valuation theory and give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of prime reciprocals by Roth's theorem and Euler-Legendre's theorem for arithmetic progressions.

Two topics of the number theory are discussed in this paper. First, we prove that given each natural number $x\geq10^{3}$, we have \[ |{\rm Li}(x)-\pi(x)|\leq c\sqrt{x}\log x\texttt{ and } \pi(x)={\rm Li}(x)+O(\sqrt{x}\log x) \] where $c$…

In this paper, we establish new bounds for classical prime-counting functions. All of our bounds are explicit and assume the Riemann Hypothesis. First, we prove that $|\psi(x) - x|$ and $|\vartheta(x) - x|$ are bounded from above by…

We give a large sieve type inequality for functions supported on primes. As application we prove a conjecture by Elliott, and give bounds for short character sums over primes. The proves uses a combination of the large sieve and the Selberg…

We give elementary proofs of some congruence criteria to compute binomial coefficients in modulo a prime. These criteria are analogues to the symmetry property of binomial coefficients. We give extended version of Lucas Theorem by using…

We derive explicit upper bounds for various functions counting primes in arithmetic progressions. By way of example, if $q$ and $a$ are integers with $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $3 \leq q \leq 10^5$, and $\theta(x;q,a)$ denotes the sum of the…

We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…

We obtain optimal lower bounds for moments of theta functions. On the other hand, we also get new upper bounds on individual theta values and moments of theta functions on average over primes. The upper bounds are based on bounds of…

We demonstrate the impact of a generic zero-free region and zero-density estimate on the error term in the prime number theorem. Consequently, we are able to improve upon previous work of Pintz and provide an essentially optimal error term…

Let $E_x(q,a)$ be the error term when counting primes in arithmetic progressions and let $M(Q)=\sum_{q\leq Q}\phi(q)\sum_{a=1}^qE_x(q,a)^3$. We show that $M(Q)<<Q^3(x/Q)^{7/5}$ for large $Q$ close to $x$ (in the usual BDH sense) thereby…

We improve the unconditional explicit bounds for the error term in the prime counting function $\psi(x)$. In particular, we prove that, for all $x>2$, we have \[ \left| \psi(x)-x \right| < 9.22106 \, x \, (\log x)^{3/2}…

Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we improve the error term in the asymptotic formula related to the counting lattice problem studied in a first part of this work. The improvement comes from the use of Weyl's bound for exponential sums of…

We consider fluctuations of error terms $\Delta(x)$ appearing in the asymptotic formula for a summatory function of coefficients of the Dirichlet series. These are quantified via $\Omega$ and $\Omega_{\pm}$ estimates. We obtain $\Omega$…

We consider estimation procedures which are recursive in the sense that each successive estimator is obtained from the previous one by a simple adjustment. We propose a wide class of recursive estimation procedures for the general…

We improve the error terms of some estimates related to counting lattices from recent work of L. Fukshansky, P. Guerzhoy and F. Luca (2017). This improvement is based on some analytic techniques, in particular on bounds of exponential sums…

The sequence of 1/2-discrepancy sums of $\{x + i \theta \bmod 1\}$ is realized through a sequence of substitutions on an alphabet of three symbols; particular attention is paid to $x=0$. The first application is to show that any asymptotic…

Standard prime-number counting functions, such as $\psi(x)$, $\theta(x)$, and $\pi(x)$, have error terms with limiting logarithmic distributions once suitably normalized. The same is true of weighted versions of those sums, like $\pi_r(x) =…
