We show the existence of an anti-pluricanonical curve on every smooth projective rational surface X which has an infinite group G of automorphisms of either null entropy or of type Z . Z (semi-direct product), provided that the pair (X, G)…
Motivated by a question of van der Poorten about the existence of infinite chain of prime numbers (with respect to some base), in this paper we advance the study of sequences of consecutive polynomials whose coefficients are chosen…
The Schinzel Hypothesis is a conjecture about irreducible polynomials in one variable over the integers: under some standard condition, they should assume infinitely many prime values at integers. We consider a relative version: if the…
In this work we present a natural generalization of strong pseudoprime to base $b$, which we have called $q$-pseudoprime to base $b$. It allows us to present another way to define a Midy's number to base $b$ (overpseudoprime to base $b$).…
We prove that every arithmetic progression either contains infinitely many Carmichael numbers or none at all. Furthermore, there is a simple criterion for determining which category a given arithmetic progression falls into. In particular,…
In 1977, Hugh Williams studied Lucas pseudoprimes to all Lucas sequences of a fixed discriminant. These are composite numbers analogous to Carmichael numbers and they satisfy a Korselt-like criterion: $n$ must be a product of distinct…
This work is devoted to proving that, given an integer $x \ge 2$, there are infinitely many perfect powers, coprime with $x$, having exactly $k \ge 3$ non-zero digits in their base $x$ representation, except for the case $x=2, k=4$, for…
Comments about the paper by Elsholz, Fermat's last theorem implies Euclid's infinitude of primes, (2021), and simplification.
Inspired by a recent paper due to Jos\'{e} Luis Garc\'{i}a, we revisit the attempt of Daniel Simson to construct a counterexample to the pure semisimplicity conjecture. Using compactness, we show that the existence of such counterexample…
In this paper, we prove that for any $a,M\in \mathbb N$ with $(a,M)=1$, there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers $m$ such that $m\equiv a$ mod $M$
In this paper, we study the mixed Littlewood conjecture with pseudo-absolute values. For any pseudo absolute value sequence $\mathcal{D}$, we obtain the sharp criterion such that for almost every $\alpha$ the inequality \begin{equation*}…
We present a new method for the study of hemisystems of the Hermitian surface $\mathcal{U}_3$ of $PG(3,q^2)$. The basic idea is to represent generator-sets of $\mathcal{U}_3$ by means of a maximal curve naturally embedded in $\mathcal{U}_3$…
We give an axiomatic characterization of multiple Dirichlet series over the function field $\mathbb F_q(T)$, generalizing a set of axioms given by Diaconu and Pasol. The key axiom, relating the coefficients at prime powers to sums of the…
We present a general method for proving that a semigroup is non-finitely based. The method is strong enough to cover the non-finite basis arguments in articles [1,3,4,5,7,8, 11,14,16,21,27,31,36,37]. In particular, the method allows to…
In this paper we construct infinite sequences of monic irreducible polynomials with coefficients in odd prime fields by means of a transformation introduced by Cohen in 1992. We make no assumptions on the coefficients of the first…
The idea of generating prime numbers through sequence of sets of co-primes was the starting point of this paper that ends up by proving two conjectures, the existence of infinitely many twin primes and the Goldbach conjecture. The main idea…
Erd\H{o}s asked whether there are infinitely many finite sets of distinct primes $p_1<\cdots<p_k$ and positive integers $m$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:erdos-original} \frac1{p_1}+\cdots+\frac1{p_k}=1-\frac1m. \end{equation} This is…
In this paper we show that a certain subset of the Carmichael numbers contains good Euler pseudoprimes, composite numbers that for many bases survive the Solovay-Strassen primality test. We present a classification of Carmichael numbers,…
Feferman proved in 1962 that any arithmetical theorem is a consequence of a suitable transfinite iteration of full uniform reflection of $\mathsf{PA}$. This result is commonly known as Feferman's completeness theorem. The purpose of this…
We present some new ideas on important problems related to primes. The topics of our discussion are: simple formulae for primes, twin primes, Sophie Germain primes, prime tuples less than or equal to a predefined number, and their…
