This is a survey article on the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture about primes in quadratic progressions. We recount the history and quote some results approximating this hitherto unresolved conjecture.
We verify the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on primes in quadratic progressions on average. The results in the present paper significantly improve those of a previous paper of the authors(arXiv:math.NT/0605563).
In this expository article, we describe the recent approach, motivated by ergodic theory, towards detecting arithmetic patterns in the primes, and in particular establishing that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.…
The goal of this paper is to describe an elementary combinatorial heuristic that predicts Hardy and Littlewood's extended Goldbach's conjecture. We examine common features of other heuristics in additive prime number theory, such as…
We establish, utilizing the Hardy-Littlewood Circle Method, an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of primes whose differences lie in the image of a fixed polynomial. We also include a generalization of this result where differences…
In this paper we prove that there is a continuum set of increments with some minimal structure for the Hardy - Littlewood integral. The result implies a number of new properties of the Hardy - Littlewood integral.
With the uniform positions we prove theorems of Landau and Hardy-Littlwood type for Goldbach, Chen, Lemoine-Levy and other binary partitions of positive integers. We also pose some new conjectures.
We give $L^1$-norm estimates for exponential sums of a finite sets $A$ consisting of integers or lattice points. Under the assumption that $A$ possesses sufficient multidimensional structure, our estimates are stronger than those of…
Consider a system \Psi of non-constant affine-linear forms \psi_1,...,\psi_t: Z^d -> Z, no two of which are linearly dependent. Let N be a large integer, and let K be a convex subset of [-N,N]^d. A famous and difficult open conjecture of…
Let $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_R)$ be a system of polynomials with integer coefficients in which the degrees need not all be the same. We provide sufficient conditions for which the system of equations $f_j (x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0 \ (1…
The Hardy-Littlewood method is a well-known technique in analytic number theory. Among its spectacular applications are Vinogradov's 1937 result that every sufficiently large odd number is a sum of three primes, and a related result of…
The study of many problems in additive combinatorics, such as Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, is made easier by first studying models for the problem in F_p^n for some fixed small prime p. We give a number of examples of…
In this paper we establish a function field analogue of a conjecture in number theory which is a combination of several famous conjectures, including the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture, conjectures on the number of primes in…
We introduce a wide class of deterministic subsets of primes of zero relative density and we prove Roth's Theorem in these sets, namely, we show that any subset of them with positive relative upper density contains infinitely many…
We use the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to study primes of the form $n_1^u + n_2^v + k$, on average.
This paper resolves the question of pointwise convergence for ergodic averages of a single function along the set of polynomial values of primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$. Following the influential paper of Bourgain…
In this paper we consider estimating the number of solutions to multiplicative equations in finite fields when the variables run through certain sets with high additive structure. In particular, we consider estimating the multiplicative…
We give existence and regularity results for solutions of some nonlinear elliptic problems. The equations we deal with are modeled on a problem which involves in its principal part an anisotropic operator, a Hardy-type potential, and a…
We prove an analogue of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on the asymptotic distribution of prime constellations in the setting of short intervals in function fields of smooth projective curves over finite fields.
