In number theory, many major results related to the additive properties of primes are proven using the methods of sieve theory. However, in nearly every case, the existing proofs of these results are ineffective, in that explicit values for…

Let $a_0\in\{0,\dots,9\}$. We show there are infinitely many prime numbers which do not have the digit $a_0$ in their decimal expansion. The proof is an application of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to a binary problem, and rests on…

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 +…

Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{\lambda-1}, b^{\lambda}-1\right]$, we denote by $R_\lambda (n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We…

We give two improved explicit versions of the prime number theorem for primes in arithmetic progression: the first isolating the contribution of the Siegel zero and the second completely explicit, where the improvement is for medium-sized…

In 2020, Roger Baker \cite{Bak} proved a result on the exceptional set of moduli in the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions of the following kind. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a set of pairwise coprime moduli $q\le x^{9/40}$. Then the…

Part-and-parcel of the study of "multiplicative number theory" is the study of the distribution of multiplicative functions in arithmetic progressions. Although appropriate analogies to the Bombieri-Vingradov Theorem have been proved for…

We investigate integers whose base $g$ expansion omits a fixed digit and which can be represented as a sum of two prime squares. In the first part of the paper, we apply the Hardy--Littlewood circle method to obtain asymptotic formulas for…

In this paper, we establish a Bombieri-Vinogradov type result for prime numbers of the form $p=x^2+y^2+1$. The proof is based on the enveloping sieve.

Let $q$ be a sufficiently large integer, and $a_0\in\{0,\dots,q-1\}$. We show there are infinitely many prime numbers which do not have the digit $a_0$ in their base $q$ expansion. Similar results are obtained for values of a polynomial…

Let $$\gamma^*=\frac{8}{9}+\frac{2}{3}\:\frac{\log(10/9)}{\log 10}\:(\approx 0.919\ldots)\:.$$ Let $\gamma^*<\gamma_0\leq 1$, $c_0=1/\gamma_0$ be fixed. Let also $a_0\in\{0,1,\ldots, 9\}$.\\ We prove on assumption of the Generalized Riemann…

We continue to study the distribution of prime numbers $p$, satisfying the condition $\{ p^{\alpha} \} \in I \subset [0; 1)$, in arithmetic progressions. In the paper, we prove an analogue of Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for $0 < \alpha <…

In this paper, we introduce a new technique to study the distribution in residue classes of sets of integers with digit and sum-of-digits restrictions. From our main theorem, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for integers with…

In this paper, we establish theorems of Bombieri-Vinogradov type and Barban-Davenport-Halberstam type for sparse sets of moduli. As an application, we prove that there exist infinitely many primes of the form $p=am^2+1$ such that $a\leq…

Let $$\gamma^*:=\frac{8}{9}+\frac{2}{3}\:\frac{\log(10/9)}{\log 10}\:(\approx 0.919\ldots)\:,\ \gamma^*<\frac{1}{c_0}\leq 1\:.$$ Let $\gamma^*<\gamma_0\leq 1$, $c_0=1/\gamma_0$ be fixed. Let also $a_0\in\{0,1,\ldots, 9\}$. In [23] we proved…

In DOI:10.1017/etds.2022.2 the author proved that for each integer $k$ there is an implicit number $M > 0$ such that if $b_1, \cdots , b_k$ are multiplicatively independent integers greater than $M$, there are infinitely many integers whose…

We study the average distribution of primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Using arithmetic information from the works of many authors together with different variants of the original…

Let $\mathcal{A}'$ be the set of integers missing any three fixed digits from their decimal expansion. We produce primes in a thin sequence by proving an asymptotic formula for counting primes of the form $p = m^2 + \ell^2$, with $\ell \in…

We study an LCM-based analogue of Rowland's GCD-based prime-generating recurrence, introduced by the author in 2008. The multiplicative increments of this sequence are conjectured always to be $1$ or prime, but a complete proof requires a…

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…
