There is extensive numerical support for the prime-pair conjecture (PPC) of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) on the asymptotic behavior of pi_{2r}(x), the number of prime pairs (p,p+2r) with p not exceeding x. However, it is still not known…
We relate the size of the error term in the Hardy-Littlewood conjectured formula for the number of prime pairs to the $L^{1}$ norm of an exponential sum over the primes formed with the von Mangoldt function.
In his groundbreaking work on pair correlation, Montgomery analyzed the distribution of the differences $\gamma'-\gamma$ between ordinates $\gamma$ of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis. In…
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…
The Bateman-Horn conjecture is a far-reaching statement about the distribution of the prime numbers. It implies many known results, such as the prime number theorem and the Green-Tao theorem, along with many famous conjectures, such the…
The Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuples conjecture has long been thought to be completely unapproachable with current methods. While this sadly remains true, startling breakthroughs of Zhang, Maynard, and Tao have nevertheless made…
The zeta function of a motive over a finite field is multiplicative with respect to the direct sum of motives. It has beautiful analytic properties, as were predicted by the Weil conjectures. There is also a multiplicative zeta function,…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we connect the distribution of $k$-free numbers with the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function at nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$. Moreover, with additional assumptions, we prove the existence of a limiting…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain a formula for the mean value of the $k$-derivative of $\zeta'/\zeta$, depending on the pair correlation of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. This formula allows us to obtain new equivalences to…
Asymptotic properties of finitely generated subgroups of free groups, and of finite group presentations, can be considered in several fashions, depending on the way these objects are represented and on the distribution assumed on these…
The prime counting function inequality $\pi(x+y) < \pi(x)+\pi(y)$, which is known as Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, has been established for a variety of cases such as $ \delta x \leq y \leq x$, where $0< \delta \leq 1$, and $x \leq y\leq x…
Some computations made about the Riemann Hypothesis and in particular, the verification that zeroes of zeta belong on the critical line and the extension of zero-free region are useful to get better effective estimates of number theory…
We introduce a sieve for counting twin primes up to a given range. Our method depends on a parameter ${\lambda}_x$ and the estimation of the number of twin primes obtained as a result, is called a fundamental structure of the distribution…
This paper presents some considerations about the Goldbach's conjecture (GC). The work is based on elementary results of the number theory and it provides a constructive method that permits, given an even integer, to find at least a pair of…
Spencer Bloch and the author formulated a general conjecture (Tamagawa number conjecture) on the relation between values of zeta functions of motives and arithmetic groups associated to motives. We discuss this conjecture, and describe some…
We will see that key concepts of number theory can be defined for arbitrary operations. We give a generalized distributivity for hyperoperations (usual arithmetic operations and operations going beyond exponentiation) and a generalization…
In this note we examine Littlewood's proof of the prime number theorem. We show that this can be extended to provide an equivalence between the prime number theorem and the non-vanishing of Riemann's zeta-function on the one-line. Our…
The Bateman--Horn Conjecture predicts how often an irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ assumes prime values. We demonstrate that with sufficient averaging in the coefficients of $f$ (viz. exponential in the size of the inputs),…
We continue our investigation of the distribution of the fractional parts of $a \gamma$, where $a$ is a fixed non-zero real number and $\gamma$ runs over the imaginary parts of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We…
In a recent work Friedlander studied the problem of how large consecutive prime gaps should be in order that the sum of the reciprocals should be divergent. Supposing a very deep Hypothesis, a generalization of the Hardy--Littlewood prime…
