In this article we introduce associative Look-Up Tables. With their help, pseudo sums are correctly determined. The set of limit distributions in a pseudo-summation scheme of i.i.d. random variables is described. Also, two special cases…

In this paper, we study an asymptotic distribution of sets of primes satisfying certain "linking conditions" in arithmetic topology, namely, conditions given by the Legendre and R\'edei symbols among sets of primes. As our Main Theorem, we…

We prove that suitable asymptotic formulae in short intervals hold for the problems of representing an integer as a sum of a prime square and a square, or a prime square. Such results are obtained both assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and in…

We give several new moduli interpretations of the fibers of certain Shimura varieties over several prime numbers. As a consequence (of our theorem 9.1) one obtains that for every prescribed odd prime characteristic $p$ every bounded…

We establish a result linking the Bouniakowsky conjecture and the density of polynomial roots to prime moduli.

We study residual polynomials, $R_{x_0,n}^{(\mathfrak{e})}$, $\mathfrak{e}\subset\mathbb{R}$, $x_0\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathfrak{e}$, which are the degree at most $n$ polynomials with $R(x_0)=1$ that minimize the $\sup$ norm on…

Recently we have introduced a novel characterisation of the distribution of twin primes that consists of three essential elements. These are: that the twins are most naturally viewed as a subsequence of the primes themselves, that the…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…

Define $\psi_m$ to be the smallest strong pseudoprime to the first $m$ prime bases. The exact value of $\psi_m$ is known for $1\le m \le 8$. Z. Zhang have found a 19-decimal-digit number $Q_{11}=3825\,12305\,65464\,13051$ which is a strong…

In this paper we consider the isoperimetric problem with double density in an Euclidean space, that is, we study the minimisation of the perimeter among subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed volume, where volume and perimeter are relative to…

Let $p_n$ be the number of partitions of an integer $n$. For each of the partition statistics of counting their parts, ranks, or cranks, there is a natural family of integer polynomials. We investigate their asymptotics and the limiting…

In this work we show that the prime distribution is deterministic. Indeed the set of prime numbers P can be expressed in terms of two subsets of N using three specific selection rules, acting on two sets of prime candidates. The prime…

Copulas are known to satisfy a number of regularity properties, and one might therefore believe that their densities, when they exist, admit a certain degree of regularity themselves. We show that this is not true in general by constructing…

Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$. For $p \in \mathcal{P}$ the set of prime numbers, let $N_{X}(p)$ be the number of $\mathbf{F}_{p}$-points of $X/\mathbf{F}_{p}$. For fixed $n\geq 1$ and $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n} \in…

In this paper we study a sequence involving the prime numbers by deriving two asymptotic formulas and finding new upper and lower bounds, which improve the currently known estimates.

We address the prime geodesic theorem in arithmetic progressions, and resolve conjectures of Golovchanski\u{\i}-Smotrov (1999). In particular, we prove that the traces of closed geodesics on the modular surface do not equidistribute in the…

We determine the asymptotic density $\delta_k$ of the set of ordered $k$-tuples $(n_1,...,n_k)\in \N^k, k\ge 2$, such that there exists no prime power $p^a$, $a\ge 1$, appearing in the canonical factorization of each $n_i$, $1\le i\le k$,…

It is conjectured that the sum $$ S_r(n)=\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{k}{k+r}\binom{n}{k} $$ for positive integers $r,n$ is never integral. This has been shown for $r\le 22$. In this note we study the problem in the ``$n$ aspect" showing that the…

We study odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on odd prime and composite numbers and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of two sums and compare their convergence rate.

In this paper, we deal with the problem of bisecting binomial coefficients. We find many (previously unknown) infinite classes of integers which admit nontrivial bisections, and a class with only trivial bisections. As a byproduct of this…
