We consider an evolving preferential attachment random graph model where at discrete times a new node is attached to an old node, selected with probability proportional to a superlinear function of its degree. For such schemes, it is known…

A new derivation of Golomb's limit formula for generating the $n$th$+1$ prime number is presented. The limit formula is derived by extracting $p_{n+1}$ from Euler's prime product representation of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the…

The Selberg sieve provides majorants for certain arithmetic sequences, such as the primes and the twin primes. We prove an L^2-L^p restriction theorem for majorants of this type. An immediate application is to the estimation of exponential…

For a multigraph $F$, the $k$-subdivision of $F$ is the graph obtained by replacing the edges of $F$ with pairwise internally vertex-disjoint paths of length $k+1$. Conlon and Lee conjectured that if $k$ is even, then the…

A classic question in analytic number theory is to find asymptotics for $\sigma_{k}(x)$ and $\pi_{k}(x)$, the number of integers $n\leq x$ with exactly $k$ prime factors, where $\pi_{k}(x)$ has the added constraint that all the factors are…

Rubinstein and Sarnak have shown, conditional on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) and the linear independence hypothesis (LI) on the non-real zeros of $\zeta(s)$, that the set of real numbers $x\ge2$ for which $\pi(x)>$ li$(x)$ has a logarithmic…

For a set of primes $\mathcal{P}$, let $\Psi(x, \mathcal{P})$ be the number of positive integers $n \leq x$ all of whose prime factors lie in $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper we classify the sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that $\Psi(x,…

The prime number graph is the set of points $(n,p_n)$ where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\rm th}$ prime. Let $L(n)$ be the minimum number of straight line segments needed to cover the first $n$ points in this set. Let $B(n)$ be the largest number…

Let $X$ be a large parameter. We will first give a new estimate for the integral moments of primes in short intervals of the type $(p,p+h]$, where $p\leq X$ is a prime number and $h=\odi{X}$. Then we will apply this to prove that for every…

Let $E_k$ be the set of positive integers having exactly $k$ prime factors. We show that almost all intervals $[x,x+\log^{1+\varepsilon} x]$ contain $E_3$ numbers, and almost all intervals $[x,x+\log^{3.51} x]$ contain $E_2$ numbers. By…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

Polignac [1] conjectured that for every even natural number $2k (k\geq1)$, there exist infinitely many consecutive primes $p_n$ and $p_{n+1}$ such that $p_{n+1}-p_n=2k$. A weakened form of this conjecture states that for every $k\geq1$,…
