There is extensive numerical support for the prime-pair conjecture (PPC) of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) on the asymptotic behavior of pi_{2r}(x), the number of prime pairs (p,p+2r) with p not exceeding x. However, it is still not known…

We study densities of $p$-adically bounded primes for hypergeometric series in two cases: the case of generalized hypergeometric series with rational parameters, and the case of $_2F_1$ with parameters in a quadratic extension of the…

We present the formalization of Dirichlet's theorem on the infinitude of primes in arithmetic progressions, and Selberg's elementary proof of the prime number theorem, which asserts that the number $\pi(x)$ of primes less than $x$ is…

Let F in S_k(Sp(2g, Z)) be a cuspidal Siegel eigenform of genus g with normalized Hecke eigenvalues mu_F(n). Suppose that the associated automorphic representation pi_F is locally tempered everywhere. For each c>0 we consider the set of…

Let x be a quadratic irrational and let P be the set of prime numbers. We show the existence of an infinite subset S of P such that the statistics of the period of the continued fraction expansions along the sequence {px: p\in S} approach…

In this paper we discuss the generalizations of the concept of Chebyshev's bias from two perspectives. First we give a general framework for the study of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias attached to general $L$-functions satisfying…

Many interesting questions in arithmetic dynamics revolve, in one way or another, around the (local and/or global) reducibility behavior of iterates of a polynomial. We show that for very general families of integer polynomials $f$ (and,…

In this paper, we show a new upper bound of prime gaps, that is the gap between a prime number and its consecutive prime number. We show that the gap between a prime number $p_n$ and its consecutive prime number is not larger than…

We determine the probability that a random polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ has exactly $r$ roots in $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and show that it is given by a rational function of $p$ that is invariant under replacing $p$ by $1/p$.

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a number field. Let $\pi$ and $\pi^\prime$ be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{A}_K)$ and $\mathrm{GL}_{d^\prime}(\mathbb{A}_K)$, and suppose that either both $d$ and $d'$ are at most 2 or…

In this paper, we study an asymptotic distribution of sets of primes satisfying certain "linking conditions" in arithmetic topology, namely, conditions given by the Legendre and R\'edei symbols among sets of primes. As our Main Theorem, we…

Using a recent verification of the Riemann hypothesis up to height $3\cdot 10^{12}$, we provide strong estimates on $\pi(x)$ and other prime counting functions for finite ranges of $x$. In particular, we get that…

An integer is a primitive root modulo a prime $p$ if it generates the whole multiplicative group $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^*$. In 1927 Artin conjectured that an integer $a$ which is not $-1$ or a square is a primitive root for infintely…

For a given prime $p$, we determine the limit, as $\lambda \to \infty$, of the density of residues modulo $p^\lambda$ attained by the Fibonacci sequence. In particular, we show that this limiting density is related to zeros in the sequence…

Quite recently, in [8] the authoor of this paper considered the distribution of primes in the sequence $(S_n)$ whose $n$th term is defined as $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$, where $p_k$ is the $k$th prime. Some heuristic arguments and the…

We generalize a theorem of Nymann that the density of points in Z^d that are visible from the origin is 1/zeta(d), where zeta(a) is the Riemann zeta function 1/1^a + 1/2^a + 1/3^a + ... A subset S of Z^d is called primitive if it is a…

Let $1<c<d$ be two relatively prime integers, $g_{c,d}=cd-c-d$ and $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of primes. For any given integer $k \geq 1$, we prove that $$\#\left\{p^k\le g_{c,d}:p\in \mathbb{P}, ~p^k=cx+dy,~x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant0}…

This paper is devoted to the theory of prime numbers. In this paper we first introduce the notion of a matrix of prime numbers. Then, in order to investigate the density of prime numbers in separate rows of the matrix under consideration,…

Let $(F_n)$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers and, for each positive integer $k$, let $\mathcal{P}_k$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $\gcd(p - 1, F_{p - 1}) = k$. We prove that the relative density $\text{r}(\mathcal{P}_k)$ of…
