This paper gives an explicit version of Selberg's 1943 mean-value estimate for the prime number theorem in intervals under the Riemann hypothesis. Two applications are given: for primes in short intervals, and Goldbach numbers (sums of two…
We confirm the eventual evasiveness of several classes of monotone graph properties under widely accepted number theoretic hypotheses. In particular we show that Chowla's conjecture on Dirichlet primes implies that (a) for any graph $H$,…
We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…
A lemma of Micchelli's, concerning radial polynomials and weighted sums of point evaluations, is shown to hold for arbitrary linear functionals, as is Schaback's more recent extension of this lemma and Schaback's result concerning…
We prove an analog of Siegel's theorem for integral points in the context of Drinfeld modules. The result holds for finitely generated submodules of the additive group over a function field of transcendence dimension 1.
Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that factorization of integers into $k$ parts follows the Dirichlet distribution $\text{Dir}\left(\frac{1}{k},\ldots,\frac{1}{k}\right)$ by multidimensional contour integration, thereby generalizing…
In this note, we use the concept of a polynomial ring to give an elementary proof to Cayley-Hamilton Theorem. We also give an elementary proof to Birkhoff theorem on Bi-stochastic matrices.
Let $\chi_{-f}$ be the odd quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $f$, and let $\mathrm{m}(P)$ denote the Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$. In 1984, Chinburg conjectured that for any such $\chi_{-f}$ there exist an integral bivariate…
The properties of the intersection algebra of two principal monomial ideals in a polynomial ring are investigated in detail. Results are obtained regarding the Hilbert series and the canonical ideal of the intersection algebra using methods…
In this paper, we develop the method of circle of partitions and associated statistics. As an application we prove conditionally the binary Goldbach conjecture. We develop a series of steps to prove the binary Goldbach conjecture in full.…
In the present paper, dedicated to Yuri Manin, we investigate the general notion of rings of $\mathbb S[\mu_{n,+}]$-polynomials and relate this concept to the known notion of number systems. The Riemann-Roch theorem for the ring $\mathbb Z$…
Let A be the integral closure of the ring of polynomials CC[t], within the field of algebraic functions in one variable. We show that A interprets the ring of integers. This contrasts with the analogue for finite fields, proved to have a…
The original Gelfond-Schnirelman method, proposed in 1936, uses polynomials with integer coefficients and small norms on $[0,1]$ to give a Chebyshev-type lower bound in prime number theory. We study a generalization of this method for…
In this paper, we use the former of the authors developed theory of \emph{circles of partition} to investigate possibilities to prove the binary Goldbach and Lemoine conjectures. We state the \emph{squeeze principle} and its consequences…
The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…
We formulate some refinements of Goldbach's conjectures based on heuristic arguments and numerical data. For instance, any even number greater than 4 is conjectured to be a sum of two primes with one prime being 3 mod 4. In general, for…
We generalize and unify the proofs of several results on algebraic in- dependence of arithmetic functions and Dirichlet series by a theorem of Ax on differential Schanuel conjecture. Along the way, we find counter-examples to some results…
In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…
We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…
Inspired by work done for systems of polynomial exponential equations, we study systems of equations involving the modular $j$ function. We show general cases in which these systems have solutions, and then we look at certain situations in…
