A positive integer n is called r-free if n is not divisible by the r-th power of a prime. Generalizing earlier work of Orr, we provide an upper bound of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the r-free numbers in arithmetic progressions.
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…
For a base $b\geq 2$ and a set of digits $\mathcal{A}\subset \{0,...,b-1\}$, let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of prime numbers with digits restricted to $\mathcal{A}$, when written in base-$b$. We prove that if $A\subset \mathbb{N}$ has…
We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p-1$ is divisible by a square $d^2 \geq p^\theta$ for $\theta=1/2+1/2000.$ This improves the work of Matom\"aki (2009) who obtained the result for $\theta=1/2-\varepsilon$ (with…
We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…
We establish Bombieri-Vinogradov's type result for the number of solutions of the ternary Goldbach problem with primes from arithmetic progressions.
Let $g$ be sufficiently large, $b\in\{0,\ldots,g-1\}$, and $\mathcal{S}_b$ be the set of integers with no digit equal to $b$ in their base $g$ expansion. We prove that every sufficiently large odd integer $N$ can be written as $p_1 + p_2 +…
We shall give an explicit formula for $\psi(x, q, a)$ with an error term of the form $C/\log^\alpha x$ under the condition that $q<\log^{\alpha_1} x$ is nonexceptional, for various values of $\alpha$ and $\alpha_1$. We shall also give an…
We consider the problem of finding small prime gaps in various sets of integers $\mathcal{C}$. Following the work of Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim, we will consider collections of natural numbers that are well-controlled in arithmetic…
Let $\mu$ be the M\"{o}bius function and let $k \geq 1$. We prove that the Gowers $U^k$-norm of $\mu$ restricted to progressions $\{n \leq X: n\equiv a_q\pmod{q}\}$ is $o(1)$ on average over $q\leq X^{1/2-\sigma}$ for any $\sigma > 0$,…
In this paper, we introduce and study a variant of Kummer's notion of (ir)regularity of primes which we call G-irregularity. It is based on Genocchi numbers $G_n$, rather than Bernoulli number $B_n.$ We say that an odd prime $p$ is…
We derive, for all prime moduli p except those in a very thin set, an upper bound for the least prime primitive root (mod p) of order of magnitude a constant power of log p. The improvement over previous results, where the upper bound was…
We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…
When solving a number of problems in prime number theory, it is sufficient that $t(x;q)$ admits an estimate close to this one. The best known estimates for $t(x;q)$ previously belonged to G.~Montgomery, R.~Vaughn, and Z.~Kh.~Rakhmonov. In…
This paper establishes an abstract Korovkin-type approximation theorem in general spaces, extending the framework of approximation theory to accommodate broader contexts. A critical result supporting this theorem is the proof that any…
The idea of generating prime numbers through sequence of sets of co-primes was the starting point of this paper that ends up by proving two conjectures, the existence of infinitely many twin primes and the Goldbach conjecture. The main idea…
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…
We present a new result on counting primes $p<N=2^n$ for which $r$ (arbitrarily placed) digits in the binary expansion of $p$ are specified. Compared with earlier work of Harman and Katai, the restriction on $r$ is relaxed to $r<…
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…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the average value of the divisor function over the integers $n \le x$ in an arithmetic progression $n \equiv a \pmod q$, where $q=p^k$ for a prime $p\ge 3$ and a sufficiently large integer $k$. In…
