By considering the prime zeta function, the author intended to demonstrate in that the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) does not vanish for Re(s)>1/2, which would have proven the Riemann hypothesis. However, he later realised that the proof of…

Using inequalities of Rosser and Schoenfeld, we prove formulas for pi(n) and the n-th prime that involve only the elementary operations +,-,/ on integers, together with the floor function. Pascal Sebah has pointed out that the formula for…

Let $\left[x\right]$ be the largest integer not exceeding $x$. For $0<\theta \leq 1$, let $\pi_{\theta}(x)$ denote the number of integers $n$ with $1 \leq n \leq x^{\theta}$ such that $\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]$ is prime and…

We prove an explicit error term for the $\psi(x,\chi)$ function assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Using this estimate, we prove a conditional explicit bound for the number of primes in arithmetic progressions.

Let $X$ be a large parameter. We will first give a new estimate for the integral moments of primes in short intervals of the type $(p,p+h]$, where $p\leq X$ is a prime number and $h=\odi{X}$. Then we will apply this to prove that for every…

The celebrated Artin conjecture on primitive roots asserts that given any integer $g$ which is neither $-1$ nor a perfect square, there is an explicit constant $A(g)>0$ such that the number $\Pi(x;g)$ of primes $p\le x$ for which $g$ is a…

We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…

By using Beta Dirichlet series and then Eisenstein series we ca represent primes with first a good approximation and an exact expression. This can be done with arbitrary prime (up to 10^101).

Through an inversion approach, we suggest a possible estimation for the absolute value of Mertens function $\vert M(x) \vert$ that $ \left\vert M(x) \right\vert \sim \left[\frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{\varepsilon}(x+\varepsilon)}\right]\sqrt{x}$…
