In this paper we show that certain sets are dense in $\mathbb{R}$. We give some applications. For example, we show an analytical proof that $q^{\frac{1}{n}}$, $q$ is a prime number and $e$; are irrational numbers. As another application we…

The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…

Let $K$ be a number field and $G$ a finitely generated torsion-free subgroup of $K^\times$. Given a prime $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ we denote by ${\rm ind}_{\mathfrak p}(G)$ the index of the subgroup $(G\bmod\mathfrak p)$ of the multiplicative…

In 1992, Erd$\H{o}$s and Hegyv$\'{a}$ri showed that for any prime p, there exist infinitely many length 3 weakly prime-additive numbers divisible by p. In 2018, Fang and Chen showed that for any positive integer m, there exists infinitely…

It has been known since Erdos that the sum of $1/(n\log n)$ over numbers $n$ with exactly $k$ prime factors (with repetition) is bounded as $k$ varies. We prove that as $k$ tends to infinity, this sum tends to 1. Banks and Martin have…

This paper discusses prime numbers that are (resp. are not) congruent numbers. Particularly the only case not fully covered by earlier results, namely primes of the form $p=8k+1$, receives attention.

Let $D_{k}$ be a set with $k$ distinct elements of integers such that $d_{1}<d_{2}<\cdots<d_{k}$. We say $D_{k}^{*}$ is a $k$-tuple prime difference champion ($k$-tuple PDC) for primes $\le x$ if the set $D_{k}^{*}$ is the most probable…

The independence density of a finite hypergraph is the probability that a subset of vertices, chosen uniformly at random contains no hyperedges. Independence densities can be generalized to countable hypergraphs using limits. We show that,…

Let k>1 be an integer and let p be a prime. We show that if $p^a\le k<2p^a$ or $k=p^aq+1$ (with 2q<p) for some a=1,2,..., then the set {\binom{n}{k}: n=0,1,2,...} is dense in the ring Z_p of p-adic integers, i.e., it contains a complete…

We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be $k$-layered if its divisors can be partitioned into $k$ sets with equal sum. In this paper, we start the systematic study of these class of numbers. In particular, we state some algorithms to find some…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathcal{P}$ be the sets of natural numbers and primes, respectively. Motived by an old problem of Erd\H os and Kalm\'ar, we prove that for almost all $y>1$ the lower asymptotic density of integers of the form…

In this note, we generalise two results on prime numbers in short intervals. The first result is Ingham's theorem which connects the zero-density estimates with short intervals where the prime number theorem holds, and the second result is…

We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…

The prime number theorem, established by Hadamard and de la Vall'ee Poussin independently in 1896, asserts that the density of primes in the positive integers is asymptotic to 1 / ln x. Whereas their proofs made serious use of the methods…

A number $m$ is said to be a $\textit{de Polignac number}$, if infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes exist, such that $m$ can be written as the difference of those consecutive prime numbers. Recently in [ W. D. Banks: Consecutive…

Let $pod_{\ell}(n)$ be the number of $\ell$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts. In this article, prove that for any positive integer $k$, the set of non-negative integers $n$ for which $pod_{\ell}(n)\equiv 0 \pmod{p^{k}}$ has…

In the present work we investigate the largest possible gaps between consecutive numbers which can be written as the difference of two primes. The best known upper bounds are the same as those concerning the largest possible difference of…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be the set of all finite or infinite increasing sequences of positive integers beginning with 1. For a sequence $S=\{s(n)\}, n\geq1,$ from $\mathbf{G},$ a positive number $N$ is called an exponentially $S$-number $(N\in…

Let $s\geq 8$ be an integer and $P$ be a set of primes with relative lower density greater than $\sqrt{1-\min\{s,16\}/32}$. We prove that every sufficiently large integer $n\equiv s({\rm mod}24)$ can be represented by a sum of $s$ squares…
