The distribution of values of the full ranks of marked Durfee symbols is examined in prime and nonprime arithmetic progressions. The relative populations of different residues for the same modulus are determined: the primary result is that…

In this paper, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the Lucas-Carmichael integers in terms of the sum of base-$p$ digits. We also study some interesting properties of such integers. Finally, we prove that there are infinitely…

Expressions of type $(p^q-1)/(p-1)$ and $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a, b$ are natural and $p, q$ are prime numbers, are studied.

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

We study the upper tail of the number of arithmetic progressions of a given length in a random subset of {1,...,n}, establishing exponential bounds which are best possible up to constant factors in the exponent. The proof also extends to…

For a prime number $p$ and a sequence of integers $a_0,\dots,a_k\in \{0,1,\dots,p\}$, let $s(a_0,\dots,a_k)$ be the minimum number of $(k+1)$-tuples $(x_0,\dots,x_k)\in A_0\times\dots\times A_k$ with $x_0=x_1+\dots + x_k$, over subsets…

Probabilistic models for the distribution of primes in the natural numbers are constructed in the article. The author found and proved the probabilistic estimates of the deviation $R(x)=|\pi(x)- Li(x)|$. The author has analyzed the…

This paper is a contribution to the description of some congruences on the odd prime factors of the class number of the number fields. An example of results obtained is: Let L/Q be a finite Galois solvable extension with [L:Q]=N, where N >…

We investigate the question of which growth rates are possible for the number of periodic points of a compact group automorphism. Our arguments involve a modification of Linnik's Theorem, concerning small prime numbers in arithmetic…

We show, in an effective way, that there exists a sequence of congruence classes $a_k\pmod {m_k}$ such that the minimal solution $n=n_k$ of the congruence $\phi(n)\equiv a_k\pmod {m_k}$ exists and satisfies $\log n_k/\log m_k\to\infty $ as…

A geometric-arithmetic progression of primes is a set of $k$ primes (denoted by GAP-$k$) of the form $p_1 r^j + j d$ for fixed $p_1$, $r$ and $d$ and consecutive $j$, {\it i.e}, $\{p_1, \, p_1 r + d, \, p_1 r^2 + 2 d, \, p_1 r^3 + 3 d,…

Let $(a,a+d,a+2d)$ be an arithmetic progression of positive integers. The following statements are proved: (1) If $a\mid 2d$, then $(a, a+d, a+2d)\in\mdeg(\Tame(\mathbb{C}^3))$. (2) If $a\nmid 2d$, then, except for arithmetic progressions…

We study the distribution of consecutive sums of two squares in arithmetic progressions. If $\{E_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is the sequence of sums of two squares in increasing order, we show that for any modulus $q$ and any congruence classes…

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…

Starting with Zhang's theorem on the infinitude of prime doubles, we give an inductive argument that there exists an infinite number of prime $k$-tuples for at least one admissible set $\mathcal{H}_k=\{h_1,\ldots,h_k\}$ for each $k$.

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve, let L(E,s)=\sum a_n/n^s be the L-series of E/Q, and let P be a point in E(Q). An integer n > 2 having at least two distinct prime factors will be be called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P) if E has good…

For $q$ an odd prime power with $q>169$ we prove that there are always three consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Indeed, there are precisely eleven values of $q \leq 169$ for which this is false. For $4\leq…

We establish new combinatorial transcendence criteria for continued fraction expansions. Let $\alpha = [0; a_1, a_2,...]$ be an algebraic number of degree at least three. One of our criteria implies that the sequence of partial quotients…

Given two sets $\cA, \cB \subseteq \F_q$ of elements of the finite field $\F_q$ of $q$ elements, we show that the productset $$ \cA\cB = \{ab | a \in \cA, b \in\cB\} $$ contains an arithmetic progression of length $k \ge 3$ provided that…

Let $\pi_{q,a}(x)$ denote the number of primes $\le x$ in the progression $a$ modulo $q$. We study subtle inequities in these functions, with $q$ fixed and variable $a$ (sometimes called 'prime race problems'). It is known unconditionally…
