In this paper, we prove the twin prime conjecture showing that \begin{align} \sum \limits_{\substack{p\leq x\\p,p+2\in \mathbb{P}}}1\geq (1+o(1))\frac{x}{2\mathcal{C}\log^2 x}\nonumber \end{align} where $\mathcal{C}:=\mathcal{C}(2)>0$ fixed…

In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)\rho(t)dt \leq\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)…

We survey results about prime number races, that is, results about the relative sizes of prime counting functions $\pi_{q,a}(x)$, with $q$ fixed and $a$ varying. In particular, we describe recent work by the authors on these problems.

In this note we study the growth of \sum_{m=1}^M\frac1{\|m\alpha\|} as a function of M for different classes of \alpha\in[0,1). Hardy and Littlewood showed that for numbers of bounded type, the sum is \simeq M\log M. We give a very simple…

Lower bounds for the R\'enyi entropies of sums of independent random variables taking values in cyclic groups of prime order under permutations are established. The main ingredients of our approach are extended rearrangement inequalities in…

A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

We present an improved version of the analytic method for calculating $\pi(x)$, the number of prime numbers not exceeding $x$. We implemented this method in cooperation with J. Franke, T. Kleinjung and A. Jost and calculated the value…

The best known upper estimates for the constants of the Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}$ spaces are of the form $\left(\sqrt{2}\right) ^{m-1}.$ We present better estimates which depend on $p$ and $m$. An…

Recently, I have defined the so called PDF's (prime distribution factors) which govern the distribution of prime numbers of the type $p,p+a_i$ being all primes up to some number $n$. It was shown that the PDF's are expressible in terms of…

For k greater than 1 and r different from 0, let pi^k_{2r}(x) denote the number of prime pairs (p,p^k+2r) with p not exceeding (large) x. By the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the function pi^k_{2r}(x) should be asymptotic to…

This note has a twofold purpose. To improve the best known lower estimates of the Hardy-Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms in $\ell_{p}$ spaces and to provide a closed formula encompassing the cases $p>2m$ and $% p=2m.$ Our approach…

The Hardy-Littlewood inequalities for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}$ spaces are stated for $p>m$. In this paper, among other results, we investigate similar results for $1\leq p\leq m.$ Let $\mathbb{K}$ be $% \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ and…

The results of the computer investigation of the sign changes of the difference between the number of twin primes $\pi_2(x)$ and the Hardy--Littlewood conjecture $C_2\Li_2(x)$ are reported. It turns out that $d_2(x)=\pi_2(x) - C_2\Li_2(x)$…

When solving a number of problems in prime number theory, it is sufficient that $t(x;q)$ admits an estimate close to this one. The best known estimates for $t(x;q)$ previously belonged to G.~Montgomery, R.~Vaughn, and Z.~Kh.~Rakhmonov. In…

Classical boundary Hardy inequality, that goes back to 1988, states that if $1 < p < \infty, \ ~\Omega$ is bounded Lipschitz domain, then for all $u \in C^{\infty}_{c}(\Omega)$, $$\int_{\Omega} \frac{|u(x)|^{p}}{\delta^{p}_{\Omega}(x)} dx…
