The Legendre conjecture has resisted analysis over a century, even under assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis. We present, a significant improvement on previous results by greatly reducing the assumption to a more modest statement called…

We introduce a sieve for counting twin primes up to a given range. Our method depends on a parameter ${\lambda}_x$ and the estimation of the number of twin primes obtained as a result, is called a fundamental structure of the distribution…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…

A celebrated conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood provides with an asymptotic formula for the counting function of the twin primes. We give an unconditional proof of such a formula by means of a finite Ramanujan expansion of the counting…

Let $p\equiv 8\mod 9$ be a prime. In this paper we give a sufficient condition such that at least one of $p$ and $p^2$ is the sum of two rational cubes. This is the first general result on the $8$ case of the so-called Sylvester conjecture.

We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…

Sierpinski's Hypothesis H1, formulated in 1958, is the conjecture that (provided $n\geq 2$), when the first $n^2$ counting numbers, $1, 2,3,\dots n^2$, are arranged in a square, then each row contains at least one prime. This conjecture is…

Jing Run Chen proved in 1966 that $p+2$ has at most two prime factors for infinitely many primes $p$. However, due to the parity problem we do not know whether $p+2$ has an odd (or even) number of prime factors infinitely often. In the…

We give an estimation of the existence density for the $2d$ different primes by using a new and simple algorithm for getting the $2d$ different primes. The algorithm is a kind of the sieve method, but the remainders are the central numbers…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. In 1950, P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that if $c$ is an arbitrarily given constant, $x$ is sufficiently large and $a_1,\dots , a_t$ are positive integers with $a_1<a_2<\cdot\cdot\cdot<a_t\leqslant…

In this paper we will propose a strategy to prove Goldbach's conjecture: every even integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes.

We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…

Legendre's Conjecture is one of the most elegant open problems in Number Theory, which states that there is a prime between consecutive two perfect squares. In this note, we prove the conjecture holds true and also discuss the related…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. In 1988, Koblitz conjectured a precise asymptotic for the number of primes p up to x such that the order of the group of points of E over the finite field F_p is prime. This is an analogue of the Hardy and…

For the old question whether there is always a prime in the interval [kn, (k+1)n] or not, the famous Bertrand's postulate gave an affirmative answer for k=1. It was first proved by P.L. Chebyshev in 1850, and an elegant elementary proof was…

Numerical evidence suggests that for only about $2\%$ of pairs $p,p+2$ of twin primes, $p+2$ has more primitive roots than does $p$. If this occurs, we say that $p$ is exceptional (there are only two exceptional pairs with $5 \leq p \leq…
