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…

Let $p$ be a prime number, and $h$ a positive integer such that $\gcd(p,h)=1$. We prove, without invoking Dirichlet's theorem, that the arithmetic progression $p\left(\mathbf{N}\cup \{0\}\right)+h$ contains infinitely many prime numbers.…

In the present work we prove a number of surprising results about gaps between consecutive primes and arithmetic progressions in the sequence of generalized twin primes which could not have been proven without the recent fantastic…

By Maynard's theorem and the subsequent improvements by the Polymath Project, there exists a positive integer $b\leq 246$ such that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+b$ is also prime. Let $P_1,...,P_t\in \mathbb{Z}[y]$ with…

Let $\mathbf{P}$ denote the set of prime numbers and, for an appropriate function $h$, define a set $\mathbf{P}_{h}=\{p\in\mathbf{P}: \exists_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\ p=\lfloor h(n)\rfloor\}$. The aim of this paper is to show that every subset of…

The theorem presented in this paper allows the creation of large prime numbers (of order up to o(n^2)) given a table of all primes up to n.

We prove some theorems which give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime numbers among the terms of a sequence which has pairwise relatively prime terms.

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 brief exposition and proof of the arithmetic regularity lemma of Green and Tao in the abelian ($U^2$) case, over $\{1,\dots,N\}$. This may be useful to those who need just the $U^2$ case of the lemma, as the general case is…

We study the prime numbers that lie in Beatty sequences of the form $\lfloor \alpha n + \beta \rfloor$ and have prescribed algebraic splitting conditions. We prove that the density of primes in both a fixed Beatty sequence and a Chebotarev…

We describe some of the machinery behind recent progress in establishing infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in various sets of integers, in particular in arbitrary dense subsets of the integers, and in the primes.

The main result of the paper is that assuming that the level $\theta$ of distribution of primes exceeds 1/2, then there exists a positive $d\leq C(\theta)$ such that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions with the property that…

It is well-known that for any non-constant polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients the sequence $(P(n))_{ n\in \mathbb N}$ has the property that there are infinitely many prime numbers dividing at least one term of this sequence.…

In the present work we prove a common generalization of Maynard-Tao's recent result about consecutive bounded gaps between primes and on the Erd\H{o}s-Rankin bound about large gaps between consecutive primes. The work answers in a strong…

We consider the problem of finding small prime gaps in various sets of integers $\mathcal{C}$. Following the work of Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim, we will consider collections of natural numbers that are well-controlled in arithmetic…

The transference principle of Green and Tao enabled various authors to transfer Szemer\'edi's theorem on long arithmetic progressions in dense sets to various sparse sets of integers, mostly sparse sets of primes. In this paper, we provide…

We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that not only does $p + 2$ have at most two prime factors, but $p + 6$ also has a bounded number of prime divisors. This refines the well known result of Chen.
