In this paper, it is proved that, for $\gamma\in(\frac{317}{320},1)$, every sufficiently large odd integer can be written as the sum of nine cubes of primes, each of which is of the form $[n^{1/\gamma}]$. This result constitutes an…

We introduce a model-complete theory which completely axiomatizes the structure $Z_{\alpha}=(Z, +, 0, 1, f)$ where $f : x \to \lfloor{\alpha} x \rfloor $ is a unary function with $\alpha$ a fixed transcendental number. When $\alpha$ is…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th smallest prime number, and let $\boldsymbol{L}$ denote the set of limit points of the sequence $\{(p_{n+1} - p_n)/\log p_n\}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ of normalized differences between consecutive primes. We show that for…

The spectrum of a real number $\beta>1$ is the set $X^{m}(\beta)$ of $p(\beta)$ where $p$ ranges over all polynomials with coefficients restricted to ${\mathcal A}=\{0,1,\dots,m\}$. For a quadratic Pisot unit $\beta$, we determine the…

We continue to study the distribution of prime numbers $p$, satisfying the condition $\{ p^{\alpha} \} \in I \subset [0; 1)$, in arithmetic progressions. In the paper, we prove an analogue of Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for $0 < \alpha <…

We study real numbers $\beta$ with the curious property that the $\beta$-expansion of all sufficiently small positive rational numbers is purely periodic. It is known that such real numbers have to be Pisot numbers which are units of the…

It is well-known that the first order Peano axioms PA have a continuum of non-isomorphic countable models. The question, how close to being isomorphic such countable models can be, seems to be less investigated. A measure of closeness to…

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…

We show that the M\"{o}bius function is orthogonal to the Thue-Morse sequence $t(n)$ taken along the Piatetski-Shapiro numbers $\lfloor n^c \rfloor$ for any $1 < c < 2$. Previously this property was established for the subsequence along the…

Denote by $\continuum=2^{\aleph_0}$ the cardinal of continuum. We construct an intriguing family $(P_\alpha: \alpha\in\continuum)$ of prime $z$-ideals in $\C_0(\reals)$ with the following properties: If $f\in P_{i_0}$ for some…

In 2016, in the work related to Galois representations, Greenberg conjectured the existence of multi-quadratic $p$-rational number fields of degree $2^{t}$ for any odd prime number $p$ and any integer $t \geq 1$. Using the criteria provided…

Let S be an infinite set of non-empty, finite subsets of the nonnegative integers. If p is an odd prime, let c(p) denote the cardinality of the set {T {\in} S : T {\subseteq} {1,...,p-1} and T is a set of quadratic residues (respectively,…

For the simple Bratteli diagrams B where there is a single edge connecting any two vertices in consecutive levels, we show that a random order has uncountably many infinite paths if and only if the growth rate of the level-n vertex sets is…

The $2$-primary homotopy $\beta$-family, defined as the collection of Mahowald invariants of Mahowald invariants of $2^i$, $i \geq 1$, is an infinite collection of periodic elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. In this paper,…

The appearance of primes in a family of linear recurrence sequences labelled by a positive integer $n$ is considered. The terms of each sequence correspond to a particular class of Lehmer numbers, or (viewing them as polynomials in $n$)…

We show that if $A$ and $B$ are finite sets of real numbers, then the number of triples $(a,b,c)\in A\times B\times (A\cup B)$ with $a+b=2c$ is at most $(0.15+o(1))(|A|+|B|)^2$ as $|A|+|B|\to\infty$. As a corollary, if $A$ is antisymmetric…

It is proven that, in any given base, there are infinitely many palindromic numbers having at most six prime divisors, each relatively large. The work involves equidistribution estimates for the palindromes in residue classes to large…

Given a real number $\alpha \in (0,1)$, we define the Webster sequence of density $\alpha$ to be $W_\alpha = (\lceil(n-1/2) / \alpha\rceil)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\lceil x \rceil$ is the ceiling function. It is known that if $\alpha$ and…

For $\beta > 1$, a sequence $(c_n)_{n \geq 1} \in \mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{N}^+}$ with $0 \leq c_n < \beta$ is the \emph{beta expansion} of $x$ with respect to $\beta$ if $x = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty c_n\beta^{-n}$. Defining $d_\beta(x)$ to be the…
