Let $m$ be a natural number, and let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a set containing at least $\exp(C m)$ primes. We show that one can find infinitely many strings of $m$ consecutive primes each of which has some $q\in\mathcal{Q}$ as a primitive root,…

In this paper we consider polynomial representability of functions defined over $Z_{p^n}$, where $p$ is a prime and $n$ is a positive integer. Our aim is to provide an algorithmic characterization that (i) answers the decision problem: to…

We prove various theorems on approximation using polynomials with integer coefficients in the Bernstein basis of any given order. In the extreme, we draw the coefficients from $\{ \pm 1\}$ only. A basic case of our results states that for…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime number, $\{q_n\}$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $x\in\mathbb{R}$. In this note we prove that the inequality $$q_n p_{n+1}^{x}-q_{n+1}p_{n}^{x}<p_{n}^{x}p_{n+1}^{x-1}, $$ holds for infinitely many…

It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…

Let $p_n$ be $n$th prime, and let $(S_n)_{n=1}^\infty:=(S_n)$ be the sequence of the sums of the first $2n$ consecutive primes, that is, $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$ with $n=1,2,\ldots$. Heuristic arguments supported by the corresponding…

The Golomb--Keller formula expresses the next prime $p_{n+1}$ as a recurrence relation in terms of the first $n$ primes $p_1, \ldots, p_n$ using the Riemann zeta function and an Euler product, but requires taking a limit as $s \to \infty$,…

An important implication of Rademacher's Differentiation Theorem is that every Lipschitz curve $\Gamma$ infinitesimally looks like a line at almost all of its points in the sense that at $\mathcal{H}^1$-almost every point of $\Gamma$, the…

This work is a probabilistic study of the 'primes' of the Cram\'er model. We prove that there exists a set of integers $\mathcal S$ of density 1 such that \begin{equation}\liminf_{ \mathcal S\ni n\to\infty} (\log n)\mathbb{P} \{S_n\…

We obtain an analog of the prime number theorem for a class of branched covering maps on the $2$-sphere $S^2$ called expanding Thurston maps, which are topological models of some non-uniformly expanding rational maps without any smoothness…

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 $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$.…

We consider polynomials in R[x] which map the set of nonnegative (element-wise) matrices of a given order into itself. Let n be a positive integer and define P(n)= {p in R[x] : p(A) is nonnegative (element-wise), for all A, A an n-by-n…

A prime labeling on a graph of order $m$ is an assignment of $\{ 1, 2, \ldots, m \}$ to the vertices of the graph such that each pair of adjacent vertices has coprime labels. The ladder of order $2n$ is the $2 \times n$ grid graph graph…

This paper proves Firoozbakht's conjecture using Rosser and Schoenfelds' inequality on the distribution of primes. This inequality is valid for all natural numbers ${n\geq 21}$. Firoozbakht's conjecture states that if $ {p_{n}}$ and…

We study the properties of certain graphs involving the sums of primes. Their structure largely turns out to relate to the distribution of prime gaps and can be roughly seen in Cram\'er's model as well. We also discuss generalizations to…

Let $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime. With help of the Cram\'er-like model, we prove that the set of intervals of the form $(2p_n,\enskip2p_{n+1})$ containing at list 3 primes has a positive density with respect to the set of all intervals of such…

For each prime $p$, let $n(p)$ denote the least quadratic nonresidue modulo $p$. Vinogradov conjectured that $n(p) = O(p^\eps)$ for every fixed $\eps>0$. This conjecture follows from the generalised Riemann hypothesis, and is known to hold…

A primorial prime is a prime number of the form $p_n\# \pm 1$ where $p_n\#$ denotes the product of all primes less than or equal to $p_{n}$, the $n$-th prime. We show that the probability along the lines of Mertens' Theorem that either…
