We prove, that the sequence $1!, 2!, 3!, \dots$ produces at least $(\sqrt{2} + o(1))\sqrt{p}$ distinct residues modulo prime $p$. Moreover, factorials on an interval $\mathcal{I} \subseteq \{0, 1, \dots, p - 1\}$ of length $N > p^{7/8 +…
Let $p$ be a prime divisor of the order of a finite group $G$. Then $G$ has at least $2 \sqrt{p-1}$ complex irreducible characters of degrees prime to $p$. In case $p$ is a prime with $\sqrt{p-1}$ an integer this bound is sharp for…
A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of fractional part $\alpha p+\beta$ modulo 1, where $\alpha$ is irrational and $p$ runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes…
We generalize the definition and properties of root systems to complex reflection groups - roots become rank one projective modules over the ring of integers of a number field k. In the irreducible case, we provide a classification of root…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication. For a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$, we write $\#E_p(\mathbb{F}_p) = p + 1 - a_p(E)$ for the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-rational points of the…
Let $W$ be a finite irreducible real reflection group, which is a Coxeter group. We explicitly construct a basis for the module of differential 1-forms with logarithmic poles along the Coxeter arrangement by using a primitive derivation. As…
Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…
We give a simple matrix-based proof of congruence equations modulo a prime $p$ involving sums of binomial coefficients appearing in Pascal's triangle. These equations can be used to construct some groups of exponent $p^n$. These groups, as…
A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017) have shown that any residue class modulo a prime $p\ge 11$ can be represented by a positive $p$-smooth square-free integer $s = p^{O(\log p)}$ with all prime factors up to $p$ and conjectured that in fact…
In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…
We say that a prime number $p$ is an $\textit{Artin prime}$ for $g$ if $g$ mod $p$ generates the group $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^{\times}$. For appropriately chosen integers $d$ and $g$, we present a conjecture for the asymptotic number…
We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…
Let $p$ be a prime. We discuss $p$-adic properties of various arithmetical functions related to the coefficients of modular form and generating functions. Modular forms are considered as a tool of solving arithmetical problems. Examples of…
It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…
The ratio set of a set of positive integers $A$ is defined as $R(A) := \{a / b : a, b \in A\}$. The study of the denseness of $R(A)$ in the set of positive real numbers is a classical topic and, more recently, the denseness in the set of…
Let b be an odd integer such that b=+/-1 (mod 8) and let q be a prime with primitive root 2 such that q does not divide b. We show that if (p(k)) is a sequence of odd primes, with 0<=k<=q-2 such that p(k)=2p(k-1)+b for all 1<=k<=q-2, then…
We consider the problem of finding small prime gaps in various sets of integers $\mathcal{C}$. Following the work of Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim, we will consider collections of natural numbers that are well-controlled in arithmetic…
Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of K\otimes pp_k(G),…
If $a>b$ and $n>1$ are positive integers and $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime integers, then a large Zsigmondy prime for $(a,b,n)$ is a prime $p$ such that $p \,|\, a^n-b^n$ but $p \,\nmid \, a^m-b^m$ for $1 \leq m < n$ and either $p^2 \, |…
B. Green and T. Tao have recently proved that 'the set of primes contains arbitrary long arithmetic progressions', answering to an old question with a remarkably simple formulation. The proof does not use any "transcendental" method and any…
