In this article, we prove a theorem \`a la Mauduit et Rivat (prime number theorem, Moebius randomness principle) for functions that count digital blocks whose length is a growing function tending to infinity. These sequences are not…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of Fibonacci numbers. One of our main results says that for every sufficiently large integer $k$ there exists a prime number that can be represented as…
We consider a numeration system in the ring of integers ${\mathcal O}_K$ of a number field, which we assume to be principal. We prove that the property of being a prime in ${\mathcal O}_K$ is decorrelated from two fundamental examples of…
We survey some different results on the digits of prime numbers, giving a simplified proof of weak forms of a result of Maynard and Mauduit-Rivat.
This is an expository article to accompany my two lectures at the CDM conference. I have used this an excuse to make public two sets of notes I had lying around, and also to put together a short reader's guide to some recent joint work with…
We study, from the viewpoint of metrical number theory and (infinite) ergodic theory, the probabilistic laws governing the occurrence of prime numbers as digits in continued fraction expansions of real numbers.
The correlation measure of order $k$ is a measure of pseudorandomness that quantifies the similarity between a sequence and its shifts. It is known that the correlation of order 4 is large for the Rudin-Shapiro sequence despite having nice…
In the paper, the occurrence of zeros and ones in the binary expansion of the primes is studied. In particular the statement in the title is established. The proof is unconditional.
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish…
We prove that digital sequences modulo $m$ along squares are normal, which covers some prominent sequences like the sum of digits in base $q$ modulo $m$, the Rudin-Shapiro sequence and some generalizations. This gives, for any base, a class…
We show that any set containing a positive proportion of the primes contains a 3-term arithmetic progression. An important ingredient is a proof that the primes enjoy the so-called Hardy-Littlewood majorant property. We derive this by…
The effective version of Chebotarev's density theorem under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Artin conjecture (cf. Iwaniec and Kowalski's Analytic Number Theory, 5.13) involves a numerical invariant of a subset $D$ of a finite…
In this note we generalise a method of Perott to give new proofs that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
In this short note, we give two proofs of the infinitude of primes via valuation theory and give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of prime reciprocals by Roth's theorem and Euler-Legendre's theorem for arithmetic progressions.
The aim of this paper is to try to establish a generic model for the problem that several multivariable number-theoretic functions represent simultaneously primes for infinitely many integral points. More concretely, we introduced briefly…
Prime numbers seem to distribute among the natural numbers with no other law than that of chance, however its global distribution presents a quite remarkable smoothness. Such interplay between randomness and regularity has motivated sci-…
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…
The distribution of prime numbers is here considered. We show a formula for $li^{-1}$ and we study the $\pi(x)$ function and Riemann's hypothesis.
We give the converse to Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions by generalizing an old result of Guinand.
We furnish an explicit bound for the prime number theorem in short intervals on the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis.
