We will derive a function that eliminates any sequence of equidistant numbers from the integer numbers, then we will derive its inverse. Then we will use the Sequence elimination function to eliminate the multiples of the prime numbers from…

We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that not only does $p + 2$ have at most two prime factors, but $p + 6$ also has a bounded number of prime divisors. This refines the well known result of Chen.

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…

The theorem presented in this paper allows the creation of large prime numbers (of order up to o(n^2)) given a table of all primes up to n.

In this note we prove an inequality involving primes and the product of consecutive primes.

We introduce a new set of prime numbers functions including an exact Generating Function and a Discriminating Function of Prime Numbers neither based on prime number tables nor on algorithms. Instead these functions are defined in terms of…

A modified Lagrange Polynomial is introduced for polynomial extrapolation, which can be used to estimate the equally spaced values of a polynomial function. As an example of its application, this article presents a prime-generating…

Ova-angular rotations of a prime number are characterized, constructed using the Dirichlet theorem. The geometric properties arising from this theory are analyzed and some applications are presented, including Goldbach's conjecture, the…

When investigating the distribution of the Euler totient function, one encounters sets of primes P where if p is in P then r is in P for all r|(p-1). While it is easy to construct finite sets of such primes, the only infinite set known is…

We show that Fermat's last theorem and a combinatorial theorem of Schur on monochromatic solutions of $a+b=c$ implies that there exist infinitely many primes. In particular, for small exponents such as $n=3$ or $4$ this gives a new proof of…

The author proves that for $0.9985 < \gamma < 1$, there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $[p^{1/\gamma}]$ has at most 5 prime factors counted with multiplicity. This gives an improvement upon the previous results of…

In this paper we give an additive representation of the factorial, which can be proven by a simple quick analytical argument. We also present some generalizations, which are linked, on the one hand to an arithmetical theorem proven by Euler…

We present a new, elementary, dynamical proof of the prime number theorem.

If b^2 + 1 is prime then b must be even, hence we examine the form 4u^2 + 1. Rather than study primes of this form we study composites where the main theorem of this paper establishes that if 4u^2 + 1 is composite, then u belongs to a set…

For every prime $p$, we construct an infinite countable group that contains precisely $p-1$ elements which are not $p$th powers.

"Goldbach's Conjecture" proven by analysis of how all combinations of the odd primes, summed in pairs, generates all of the even numbers.

This work proposes elementary proofs of several related primes counting problems, based on an elementary weighted sieve. The subsets of primes considered here are the followings: the subset of twin primes PT = {p and p + 2 are primes}, the…

In a previous paper, the authors proved that in any system of three linear forms satisfying obvious necessary local conditions, there are at least two forms that infinitely often assume $E_2$-values; i.e., values that are products of…

By a sphere-packing argument, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that are close to each other for some metrics on the integers. In particular, for any numeration basis $q$, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of…

We verify that every alternating group of degree at most one quadrillion is invariably generated by an element of prime order together with an element of prime power order.
