Given a real number $0.a_1a_2 a_3\dots$ that is normal to base $b$, we examine increasing sequences $n_i$ so that the number $0.a_{n_1}a_{n_2}a_{n_3}\dots$ are normal to base $b$. Classically it is known that if the $n_i$ form an arithmetic…

The greatest power of a prime $p$ dividing the natural number $n$ will be denoted by $n_p$. Let $Ind_G(g)=|G:C_G(g)|$. Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $p$ is a prime. We prove that if there exists an integer $\alpha>0$ such that…

We prove that neither a prime nor {an l-almost prime} number theorem hold in the class of regular Toeplitz subshifts. But, {when a quantitative strengthening of the regularity with respect to the periodic structure involving Euler's totient…

This paper investigates the essential norm of Toeplitz operators $\mathcal{T}_\mu$ acting from the Bergman space $A_\omega^p$ to $A_\omega^q$ ($1 < p \leq q < \infty$) on the unit ball, where $\mu$ is a positive Borel measure and $\omega…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd number $m \geqslant 7$ can be written as the sum of three primes. We construct a set of primes $\mathbb{P}$ defined by an expanding system of admissible congruences such that almost all…

In the present paper the authors construct normal numbers in base $q$ by concatenating $q$-adic expansions of prime powers $\lfloor\alpha p^\theta\rfloor$ with $\alpha>0$ and $\theta>1$.

Fix $a \in \mathbb{Z}$, $a\notin \{0,\pm 1\}$. A simple argument shows that for each $\epsilon > 0$, and almost all (asymptotically 100% of) primes $p$, the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo $p$ exceeds $p^{\frac12-\epsilon}$. It is an…

Let $L=(L_d)_{d \in \mathbb N}$ be any ordered probability sequence, i.e., satisfying $0 < L_{d+1} \le L_d$ for each $d \in \mathbb N$ and $\sum_{d \in \mathbb N} L_d =1$. We construct sequences $A = (a_i)_{i \in \mathbb N}$ on the…

We prove independence of normality to different bases We show that the set of real numbers that are normal to some base is Sigma^0_4 complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of real numbers. This was an open problem, initiated by…

We analyze algorithms that output absolutely normal numbers digit-by-digit with respect to quality of convergence to normality of the output, measured by the discrepancy. We consider explicit variants of algorithms by Sierpinski, by Turing…

We show that at least 1/3 of positive real numbers are in the set of limit points of normalized prime gaps. More precisely, if $p_n$ denotes the $n$th prime and $\mathbb{L}$ is the set of limit points of the sequence $\{(p_{n+1}-p_n)/\log…

The Thue-Morse set is the set of those nonnegative integers whose binary expansions have an even number of $1$. We obtain an exact formula for the state complexity of the multiplication by a constant of the Thue-Morse set $\mathcal{T}$ with…

A composite number $n$ is called a Lehmer number when $\phi(n) | n - 1$, where $\phi$ is the Euler totient function. Lehmer's totient problem asks if there exist any composite numbers $n$ such that $\phi(n)| n-1$? No such numbers are known.…

Let $B_n$ ($n = 0, 1, 2, ...$) denote the usual $n$-th Bernoulli number. Let $l$ be a positive even integer where $l=12$ or $l \geq 16$. It is well known that the numerator of the reduced quotient $|B_l/l|$ is a product of powers of…

It is well known that all numbers that are normal of order $k$ in base $b$ are also normal of all orders less than $k$. Another basic fact is that every real number is normal in base $b$ if and only if it is simply normal in base $b^k$ for…

It is well known that the essential norm of a Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^p(\mathbb{T})$, $1 < p < \infty$ is greater than or equal to the $L^\infty(\mathbb{T})$ norm of its symbol. In 1988, A. B\"ottcher, N. Krupnik, and B.…

We consider the binomial random set model $[n]_p$ where each element in $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is chosen independently with probability $p:=p(n)$. We show that for essentially all regimes of $p$ and very general conditions for a matrix $A$ and a…

Consider averages along the prime integers $ \mathbb P $ given by \begin{equation*} \mathcal{A}_N f (x) = N ^{-1} \sum_{ p \in \mathbb P \;:\; p\leq N} (\log p) f (x-p). \end{equation*} These averages satisfy a uniform scale-free $ \ell…

We study whether sufficiently large integers can be written in the form cp+T_x, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and T_x=x(x+1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate whether there are infinitely many positive…

We give an easy proof to show that every complex normal Toeplitz matrix is classified as either of type I or of type II. Instead of difference equations on elements in the matrix used in past studies, polynomial equations with coefficients…
