We give an estimation of the existence density for the $2d$ different primes by using a new and simple algorithm for getting the $2d$ different primes. The algorithm is a kind of the sieve method, but the remainders are the central numbers…

Let $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ be the set of positive integers. Let $C_{k}$ denote all subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ such that neither of them contains $k + 1$ pairwise coprime integers and $C_k(n)=C_k\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $f(n, k) =…

The aim of this paper is to prove that if a planar set $A$ has a difference set $\Delta(A)$ satisfying $\Delta(A)\subset \Z^++s$ for suitable $s$ than $A$ has at most 3 elements. This result is motivated by the conjecture that the disk has…

Due to the distribution of primes among integers, we establish an upper bound for the probability $\mathbb{P}_n$ that the Goldbach conjecture fails. Assuming the conjecture holds true for all even number less than $2N$, we prove this…

We show that for any infinite set $A$ in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any non-trivial affine copy of $A$. This proves the Erd\"os similarity…

Let $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$ and $\beta\in \mathbb{R}$ be given. Suppose that $a_1,\ldots,a_s$ are distinct positive integers that do not contain a reduced residue system modulo $p^2$ for any prime $p$. We prove that there…

We combine transcendental methods and the modular approaches to the $ABC$ conjecture to show that the largest prime factor of $n^2+1$ is at least of size $(\log_2 n)^2/\log_3n$ where $\log_k$ is the $k$-th iterate of the logarithm. This…

Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…

In this article, we show the existence of large sets $\operatorname{LS}_2[3](2,k,v)$ for infinitely many values of $k$ and $v$. The exact condition is $v \geq 8$ and $0 \leq k \leq v$ such that for the remainders $\bar{v}$ and $\bar{k}$ of…

A $(v,k,\lambda)$-difference set in a group $G$ of order $v$ is a subset $\{d_1, d_2, \ldots,d_k\}$ of $G$ such that $D=\sum d_i$ in the group ring ${\mathbb Z}[G]$ satisfies $$D D^{-1} = n + \lambda G,$$ where $n=k-\lambda$. In other…

In light of the well-known fact that the $n$th divided difference of any polynomial of degree $m$ must be zero while $m<n$,the present paper proves the $(\alpha,\beta)$-inversion formula conjectured by Hsu and Ma [J. Math. Res. $\&$…

Long ago, Arad and Herzog (AH) conjectured that, in finite simple groups, the product of two conjugacy classes of length greater than one is never a single conjugacy class. We discuss implications of this conjecture for non-abelian anyons…

In this note we provide some counterexamples for the conjecture of Moret\'{o} on finite simple groups, which says that any finite simple group $G$ can determined in terms of its order $|G|$ and the number of elements of order $p$, where $p$…

Given a subset of real numbers $A$ with small product $AA$ we obtain a new upper bound for the additive energy of $A$. The proof uses a natural observation that level sets of convolutions of the characteristic function of $A$ have small…

In this article, we derive lower bounds for the number of distinct prime divisors of families of non-zero Fourier coefficients of non-CM primitive cusp forms and more generally of non-CM primitive Hilbert cusp forms. In particular, for the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite set, and $X\ni x$ a fixed klt germ. For any lc germ $(X\ni x,B:=\sum_{i} b_iB_i)$ such that $b_i\in \Gamma$, Nakamura's conjecture, which is equivalent to the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies for fixed…

A study of certain Hamiltonian systems has lead Y. Long to conjecture the existence of infinitely many primes of the form $p=2[\alpha n]+1$, where $1<\alpha<2$ is a fixed irrational number. An argument of P. Ribenboim coupled with classical…

A set $M$ of nonzero integers is said to split a finite abelian group $G$ if there exists a subset $S\subseteq G$ such that $M\cdot S = G\setminus\{0\}$. Such a splitting is called purely singular if every prime divisor of $|G|$ divides…

This paper focuses on non-existence results for Cameron-Liebler $k$-sets. A Cameron-Liebler $k$-set is a collection of $k$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ or $\mathrm{AG}(n,q)$ admitting a certain parameter $x$, which is dependent on the size…

In this paper we prove that if there is a regular Paley type partial difference set in an Abelian group $G$ of order $v$, where $v=p_1^{2k_1}p_2^{2k_2}\cdots p_n^{2k_n}$, $n\ge 2$, $p_1$, $p_2$, $\cdots$, $p_n$ are distinct odd prime…
