In this note we examine Littlewood's proof of the prime number theorem. We show that this can be extended to provide an equivalence between the prime number theorem and the non-vanishing of Riemann's zeta-function on the one-line. Our…
We prove results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$, with $\ell_1, \ell_2\in\{2,3\}$, $\ell_1+\ell_2\le 5$ are fixed…
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…
The aim of this paper is to give a direct interpretation of the validity of the Riemann hypothesis up to a certain height $T$ in terms of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$. This is done by proving the well-known explicit Schoenfeld bound…
We use Maynard's methods to show that there are bounded gaps between primes in the sequence $\{\lfloor n\alpha\rfloor\}$, where $\alpha$ is an irrational number of finite type. In addition, given a superlinear function $f$ satisfying some…
We show that the existence of arithmetic progressions with few primes, with a quantitative bound on "few", implies the existence of larger gaps between primes less than x than is currently known unconditionally. In particular, we derive…
We prove several results regarding the distribution of numbers that are the product of a prime and a $k$-th power. First, we prove an asymptotic formula for the counting function of such numbers; this generalises a result of E. Cohen. We…
A deep conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan on the distribution of prime numbers in short intervals of length $h$ says that the third moment is bounded by $\ll h^{\frac {3}{2}-c}$ for some $c>0$. There is in the literature some…
We will prove that for every $m\geq 0$ there exists an $\varepsilon=\varepsilon(m)>0$ such that if $0<\lambda<\varepsilon$ and $x$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$ and $\lambda$, then $$|\lbrace n\leq x: |[n,n+\lambda\log n]\cap…
Let $E_k$ be the set of positive integers having exactly $k$ prime factors. We show that almost all intervals $[x,x+\log^{1+\varepsilon} x]$ contain $E_3$ numbers, and almost all intervals $[x,x+\log^{3.51} x]$ contain $E_2$ numbers. By…
We prove that a suitable explicit formula for the Cesaro-averaged number of representations of an integer as a sum of two primes holds in short intervals.
We prove an upper bound for the least prime in an irrational Beatty sequence. This result may be compared with Linnik's theorem on the least prime in an arithmetic progression.
We prove a lower bound on the supremum of the function $S_1(T)$ on short intervals, defined by the integration of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function. The same type of result on the supremum of $S(T)$ have already been obtained by…
In this paper we establish a function field analogue of a conjecture in number theory which is a combination of several famous conjectures, including the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture, conjectures on the number of primes in…
By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms $|\pi(x)-\text{li}(x)|$, $|\theta(x)-x|$ and $|\psi(x)-x|$ appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all…
Recently, several bounds have been obtained on the number of solutions to congruences of the type $$ (x_1+s)...(x_{\nu}+s)\equiv (y_1+s)...(y_{\nu}+s)\not\equiv0 \pmod p $$ modulo a prime $p$ with variables from some short intervals. Here,…
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.
We establish sharp lower bounds for shifted (with two shifts) moments of Dirichlet $L$-function of fixed modulus under the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
Let $K$ be a finite Galois extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We count primes in short intervals represented by the norm of a prime ideal of $K$ satisfying a small sector condition determined by Hecke characters. We also show that such primes are…
