We present a novel approach to the Twin Prime Conjecture, basing on the $6x \pm 1$ representation of primes. By defining so-called twin prime generators $x \in \N$, for which both $6x - 1$ and $6x + 1$ are prime, we reformulate the…

This document seeks to prove there are infinitely many primes whose difference is 2, referred to as twin prime pairs. This proof's methodology involves constructing a function that approximates the number of positive integers, less than a…

We give estimates from below for the greatest prime factor of the n-th term of a binary recurrence sequence.

We study the distribution of primes from a topological viewpoint. Certain conjecture is introduced, and we show that it is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis.

In this paper, using the well known fact that the series of reciprocals of primes diverges, we obtain a general inequality for gaps of consecutive primes that holds for infinitely many primes. As it is shown the key ingredient for this…

We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…

We take the pre-sieved set to be all natural numbers $N=\{1,2,3,\dots\}$ with a sieve system:single sieve,double sieve,.... With single sieve, i.e. , remove out the multiple of a prime, we derive all the primes. With double sieve, i.e. ,…

We prove that there are infinitely often pairs of primes much closer than the average spacing between primes - almost within the square root of the average spacing. We actually prove a more general result concerning the set of values taken…

Quite recently, in [8] the authoor of this paper considered the distribution of primes in the sequence $(S_n)$ whose $n$th term is defined as $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$, where $p_k$ is the $k$th prime. Some heuristic arguments and the…

A difference equation based method of determining two factors of a composite is presented. The feasibility of P-complexity is shown. Presentation of material is non-theoretical; intended to be accessible to a broader audience of non…

While the sequence of primes is very well distributed in the reduced residue classes (mod $q$), the distribution of pairs of consecutive primes among the permissible $\phi(q)^2$ pairs of reduced residue classes (mod $q$) is surprisingly…

Let $N_n=\{1,2,...,n\}$. Elements are drawn from the set $N_n$ with replacement, assuming that each element has probability $1/n$ of being drawn. We determine the limiting distributions for the waiting time until the given portion of pairs…

This is an exposition of recent developments in the theory of bounded differences between primes. Readers are expected to be beginners of analytic number theory. The present text is a substantially improved and augmented version of the one…

We give an account of the arguments that lead from the assumption of the existence of exceptional characters to the asymptotics in related ranges for the counting function of twin primes.

We resolve the function field analogue of the conjecture concerning distribution of twin primes in arithmetic progression.

The occurrence and the distribution of patterns of trees associated to natural numbers are investigated. Bounds from above and below are proven for certain natural quantities.

In this paper, we consider pairs of a prime and a prime power with a fixed difference. We prove an average result on the distribution of such pairs. This is a partial improvement of the result of Bauer (1998).

Let f(t) be a rational function of degree at least 2 with rational coefficients. For a given rational number x_0, define x_{n+1}=f(x_n) for each nonnegative integer n. If this sequence is not eventually periodic, then the difference…

We give an equivalent form of the Twin prime conjecture relating to a symmetric property that is observed for terms present in a certain sequence of arithmetic progressions defined for a pair of co-prime integers.

We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…
