In this note, we prove that for all $x \in (0 , 1)$, we have: $$ \log\Gamma(x) = \frac{1}{2} \log\pi + \pi \boldsymbol{\eta} \left(\frac{1}{2} - x\right) - \frac{1}{2} \log\sin(\pi x) + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\log n}{n}…

For n=1,2,3,... define S(n) as the smallest integer m>1 such that those 2k(k-1) mod m for k=1,...,n are pairwise distinct; we show that S(n) is the least prime greater than 2n-2 and hence the value set of the function S(n) is exactly the…

We conjecture average counting functions for prime $k$-tuples based on a gamma distribution hypothesis for prime powers. The conjecture is closely related to the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture for $k$-tuples but yields better estimates.…

Let $t \in \mathbb{N}$, $\eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q \leq x^{5/12-\eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $\chi^*$ (if it exists).…

Standard prime-number counting functions, such as $\psi(x)$, $\theta(x)$, and $\pi(x)$, have error terms with limiting logarithmic distributions once suitably normalized. The same is true of weighted versions of those sums, like $\pi_r(x) =…

The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…

In this paper, we propose a new primality test, and then we employ this test to find a formula for {\pi} that computes the number of primes within any interval. We finally propose a new formula that computes the nth prime number as well as…

We reveal a relationship between the prime counting function and an operation performed on a unique subsequence of the primes.

The aim of this paper is to show how zeta functions and excision in cyclic cohomology may be combined to obtain index theorems. In the first part, we obtain a local index formula for "abstract elliptic pseudodifferential operators"…

Let $m$ and $n>0$ be integers. Suppose that $p$ is a prime dividing $m-4$ but not dividing $m$. We show that $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ and $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k}(-1)^k\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ are at…

The results of the study provide guidelines for the development and applications of algorithms. When the number of steps for calculating an assumption tends to infinity, probability theory can be applied to predict whether the assumption…

Let $m\geq 3$. Suppose that $$ 1-2^{-2^{m^24^m}}<\gamma<1. $$ Then the set $$ \{p\text{ prime}:\, p=[n^{\frac1\gamma}]\text{ for some }n\in{\mathbb N}\} $$ contains infinitely many non-trivial $m$-term arithmetic progressions.

We consider the summatory function of the number of prime factors for integers $\leq x$ over arithmetic progressions. Numerical experiments suggest that some arithmetic progressions consist more number of prime factors than others. Greg…

In this paper analyzes \textit{The Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture} asserts that $f$$(n)$ $>$ 0 for every $n$ $\geq$ 2, where $f(n)$ indicates the number of solutions to the Diophantine Equation…

An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…

Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we illustrate that the ratio of the set of primes $p$ such that $\langle -1, 2 \rangle$ has an odd prime index in $\mathbb{F}_p^*$ to the set of primes $p$ such that the subgroup has index greater…

We prove that a positive proportion of the intervals of any fixed scalar multiple of $\log(X)$ in the dyadic interval $[X,2X]$ contain a prime number. We also show that a positive proportion of the congruence classes modulo $q$ contain a…

A sieve is constructed for ordinary twin primes of the form 6m+/-1 that are characterized by their twin rank m. It has no parity problem. Non-rank numbers are identified and counted using odd primes p>=5. Twin- and non-ranks make up the set…

We construct a smooth real-valued function P(n) in [0,1], defined via a triple integral with a periodic kernel, that approximates the characteristic function of prime numbers. The function is built to suppress when n is divisible by some m…

Let $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$ denote a sequence of nonnegative integers. Let $0.a(1)a(2)...$ denote the real number obtained by concatenating the digit expansions, in a fixed base, of consecutive entries of $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$.…
