Most prime gaps results have been proven using tools from analytic or algebraic number theory in the last few centuries. In this paper, we would like to present some probabilistic way of proving many essential results. A major component of…
We study the distribution of primes from a topological viewpoint. Certain conjecture is introduced, and we show that it is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis.
In this survey, we give a short overview of the recent progress on the multidimensional L2 conjecture. It can also serve as an introduction to the subject.
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 show by an inclusion-exclusion argument that the prime $k$-tuple conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood provides an asymptotic formula for the number of consecutive prime numbers which are a specified distance apart. This refines one aspect…
Let $S_{(x,y]} = \left\{\frac{p_n}{p_{n+1}-2} :~ n\in I \right\}$, where $I = \left\{n :~ x<p_n \le y \right\}$, $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime and $x, y \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$. If $M_\alpha(x,y)$ denotes the $\alpha$-power mean of the elements of…
We report the results of our empirical investigations on the Bateman-Horn conjecture. This conjecture, in its commonly known form, produces rather large deviations when the polynomials involved are not monic. We propose a modified version…
We present a new, elementary, dynamical proof of the prime number theorem.
We report a rigorous theory to show the origin of the unexpected periodic behavior seen in the consecutive differences between prime numbers. We also check numerically our findings to ensure that they hold for finite sequences of primes,…
"Ever since the advent of modern quantum mechanics in the late 1920's, the idea has been prevalent that the classical laws of probability cease, in some sense, to be valid in the new theory. [...] The primary object of this presentation is…
The article attempts to demonstrate the rich history of one truly remarkable problem situated at the confluence of probability theory and theory of numbers - finding the probability of co-primality of two randomly selected natural numbers.…
This paper provides a commentary and guide to Appendix 8 of Laws Of Form, which is a chapter (appendix) on number theory in the book Laws of Form by Spencer-Brown. (Spencer-Brown,Laws Of Form,Revised Seventh English edition. Bohmeier…
In this short note we present a class of conjectures on partitions of integers as summations of primes, which are extensions of Goldbach conjecture.
We examine an elementary problem on prime divisibility of binomial coefficients. Our problem is motivated by several related questions on alternating groups.
The Ferrers bound conjecture is a natural graph-theoretic extension of the enumeration of spanning trees for Ferrers graphs. We document the current status of the conjecture and provide a further conjecture which implies it.
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…
{\bf In the fourth extended version of this article, we provide a comprehensive historical survey of 200 different proofs of famous Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of prime numbers (300 {\small B.C.}--2022)}. The author is trying to…
Under the assumption of infinitely many Siegel zeroes $s$ with $Re(s)>1-\frac{1}{(\log q)^{R}}$ for a sufficiently large value of $R$, we prove that there exist infinitely many $m$-tuples of primes that are $\ll e^{1.9828m}$ apart. This…

n this paper, we state several conjectures regarding distribution of primes and of pairs of primes represented by irreducible homogeneous polynomial in two variables $f(a,b)$. We formulate conjectures with respect to the slope $t=b/a$ for…
