In this article, we explore the Riemann zeta function with a perspective on primes and non-trivial zeros. We develop the Golomb's recurrence formula for the $n$th+1 prime, and assuming (RH), we propose an analytical recurrence formula for…

We will see that key concepts of number theory can be defined for arbitrary operations. We give a generalized distributivity for hyperoperations (usual arithmetic operations and operations going beyond exponentiation) and a generalization…

While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…

The double sum sum_(s >= 1) sum_p 1/(p^s log p^s) = 2.00666645... over the inverse of the product of prime powers p^s and their logarithms, is computed to 24 decimal digits. The sum covers all primes p and all integer exponents s>=1. The…

We present a simple but efficient method of calculating Stieltjes constants at a very high level of precision, up to about 80000 significant digits. This method is based on the hypergeometric-like expansion for the Riemann zeta function…

We present the formalization of Dirichlet's theorem on the infinitude of primes in arithmetic progressions, and Selberg's elementary proof of the prime number theorem, which asserts that the number $\pi(x)$ of primes less than $x$ is…

We joke about how to compute (promptly) the digits of $\pi$, in base 5, from a given place without computing preceding ones.

This document seeks to prove there are infinitely many primes whose difference is 2, referred to as twin prime pairs. This proof's methodology involves constructing a function that approximates the number of positive integers, less than a…

In this article, we introduce a recurrence formula which only involves two adjacent values of the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments. Based on the formula, an algorithm to evaluate $\zeta$-values(i.e. the values of Riemann zeta…

We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…

In this article, we derive a Euler prime product formula for the magnitude of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ valid for $\Re(s)>1$, as well as similar formulas for $\zeta(s)$ valid for an even and odd $k$th positive integer argument.…

We describe a method to accelerate the numerical computation of the coefficients of the polynomials $P_k(x)$ that appear in the conjectured asymptotics of the $2k$-th moment of the Riemann zeta function. We carried out our method to compute…

The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture asserts that the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ satisfies the subadditive inequality \begin{align*} \pi(x+y)\leqslant \pi(x)+\pi (y) \end{align*} for all integers $x,y\geqslant 2$. By linking the…

Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians since antiquity, with ongoing efforts to uncover both their properties and ever-larger examples. While giant primes rarely aid cryptography, they find use in areas such as locally decodable…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…
