We prove $q$-variation estimates, $q>2$, on $\ell^{p}$ spaces for averages along primes (with $1<p<\infty$) and polynomials (with $\big| \frac1p - \frac12 \big| < \frac{1}{2(d+1)}$, where $d$ is the degree of the polynomial). This improves…

We give a closed-form expression for $\varphi(1+\varphi(2+\varphi(3+...+\varphi(n)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function. More generally, for an integer sequence $A=\{a_j\}$ we study the value of…

We study positive solutions of equation (E1) $-\Delta u + u^p|\nabla u|^q= 0$ ($0\leq p$, $0\leq q\leq 2$, $p+q>1$) and (E2) $-\Delta u + u^p + |\nabla u|^q =0$ ($p>1$, $1<q\leq 2$) in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$.…

Euler showed that if an odd perfect number exists, it must be of the form $N = p^\alpha q_{1}^{2\beta_{1}}$ $\ldots$ $q_{k}^{2\beta_{k}}$, where $p, q_{1}, \ldots, q_k$ are distinct odd primes, $\alpha$, $\beta_{i} \geq 1$, for $1 \leq i…

A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo 1, where $\alpha$ is irrational and $p$ runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes $p$ such that $p+2$ is…

We establish the uniqueness of the higher radial bound state solutions of $$ \Delta u +f(u)=0,\quad x\in \RR^n. \leqno(P) $$ We assume that the nonlinearity $f\in C(-\infty,\infty)$ is an odd function satisfying some convexity and growth…

Let G be a powerful finite p-group. In this note, we give a short elementary proof of the following facts for all $i\ge 0$: (i) $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le p^i$ for odd p, and $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le 2^{i+1}$ for p = 2; (ii) the index $|G:G^{p^i}|$…

We consider the problem of uniqueness of positive solutions to boundary value problems containing the equation: -\Delta_p u =K(|x|)f(u), p>1. f is positive, is locally Lipschitz and satisfies some superlinear growth condition after u_0, a…

Using as the working hypothesis of an evaluation of the difference between primes $p_{n+1} - p_n = O(\sqrt{p_n})$ we represent in detail the proofs of Legendre's and Oppermann's conjectures.

The paper provides a uniqueness result for positive solutions of the Neumann and periodic boundary value problems associated with the $\phi$-Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} \bigl{(} \phi(u') \bigr{)}' + a(t) g(u) = 0, \end{equation*}…

A finite group G is exceptional if it has a quotient Q whose minimal faithful permutation degree is greater than that of G. We say that Q is a distinguished quotient. The smallest examples of exceptional p-groups have order p^5. For an odd…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $A=-A$ and $|A\setminus\{0\}| \leq 2\log_3(p)$. Then there is an element of $\mathbb{F}_p$ which has a unique representation as a difference of two elements of $A$.

We present a theorem which generalizes the classical Euler's theorem on congruencies: if $(a,m)=1$ then $a^ \phi(m) \equiv 1 (mod m)$ for the case when $a$ and $m$ are not relatively primes.

An odd perfect number $N$ is said to be given in Eulerian form if $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ where $q$ is prime with $q \equiv k \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd(q,n) = 1$. Similarly, an even perfect number $M$ is said to be given in Euclidean form if $M…

In this note, we provide refined estimates of the following sums involving the Euler totient function: $$\sum_{n\le x} \phi\left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \sum_{n\le x} \frac{\phi([x/n])}{[x/n]}$$ where $[x]$…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field, $p$ a rational prime, and $\chi$ a finite order totally odd abelian character of Gal$(\bar{F}/F)$ such that $\chi(\mathfrak{p})=1$ for some $\mathfrak{p}|p$. Motivated by a conjecture of Stark, Gross…

We prove that for a positive integer a the integer sequence P(n) satisfying for all n, -infty<n<infty, the recurrence P(n)=a+P(n-phi(a)), phi(a) the Euler function, generates in increasing order all integers P(n) coprime to a.The finite…

We prove that the discrete fractional integration operators along the primes \[ T^{\lambda}_{\mathbb{P}}f(x) := \sum_{p} \frac{f(x-p)}{p^{\lambda}} \cdot \log p \] are bounded $\ell^p\to \ell^{p'}$ whenever $ \frac{1}{p'} < \frac{1}{p} -…
