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.
Statistical distribution of the primes in an arithmetic progression is considered. The estimation of prime numbers is given and combinatorial methods are used to calculate the twin primes on the available interval. The distribution and…
Prime numbers seem to distribute among the natural numbers with no other law than that of chance, however its global distribution presents a quite remarkable smoothness. Such interplay between randomness and regularity has motivated sci-…
Computer experiments reveal that twin primes tend to center on nonsquarefree multiples of 6 more often than on squarefree multiples of 6 compared to what should be expected from the ratio of the number of nonsquarefree multiples of 6 to the…
The main result of the paper is that assuming that the level $\theta$ of distribution of primes exceeds 1/2, then there exists a positive $d\leq C(\theta)$ such that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions with the property that…
The author gives nontrivial upper and lower bounds for the number of primes in the interval $[x - x^{\theta}, x]$ for some $0.52 \leqslant \theta \leqslant 0.525$, showing that the interval $[x - x^{0.52}, x]$ contains prime numbers for all…
We establish Bombieri-Vinogradov's type result for the number of solutions of the ternary Goldbach problem with primes from arithmetic progressions.
Reasons for the emergence of Chebyshev's bias were investigated. The Deep Riemann Hypothesis (DRH) enables us to reveal that the bias is a natural phenomenon for achieving a well-balanced disposition of the whole sequence of primes, in the…
We derive refined entropy upper bounds for $q$-ary $B_2$ codes by exploiting the Fourier structure of the i.i.d. difference distribution $D=X-Y$. Since the pmf of $D$ is an autocorrelation, its Fourier series is a nonnegative trigonometric…
In this paper, we establish some theorems on the distribution of primes in higher-order progressions on average.
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…
Assuming that there exist (infinitely many) Siegel zeros, we show that the (Rosser-)Jurkat-Richert bounds in the linear sieve cannot be improved, and similarly look at Iwaniec's lower bound on Jacobsthal's problem, as well as minor…
Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…
The twin prime conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by two. While recent advances have improved our understanding of bounded prime gaps, the conjecture remains unresolved. This paper refines the…
Improving upon the results of Freiman and Candela-Serra-Spiegel, we show that for a non-empty subset $A\subseteq\mathbb F_p$ with $p$ prime and $|A|<0.0045p$, (i) if $|A+A|<2.59|A|-3$ and $|A|>100$, then $A$ is contained in an arithmetic…
A binary string representation of prime occurrences is a sequence of bits, where $1$ entries encode positions of prime numbers. This is a convenient representation for analysis of prime distribution, since it allows for application of a…
The world of primes has many gaps between evidence and theorems. Here, we review Legendre's conjecture on primes between consecutive squares and recent progress on the weaker question of primes between consecutive larger powers. Assuming…
We prove an explicit analogue of Legendre's conjecture for almost primes. Namely, for every integer $n \geq 1$, the interval $(n^2,(n+1)^2)$ contains an integer having at most $3$ prime factors, counted with multiplicity. This improves the…
Let $\eta$ be a quadratic irrationality. The variant of a ternary problem of Goldbach involving primes such that $a<\{\eta p\}<b$, where $a$ and $b$ are arbitrary numbers of the interval $(0,1)$, solved in this paper.
Given a large, high-dimensional sample from a spiked population, the top sample covariance eigenvalue is known to exhibit a phase transition. We show that the largest eigenvalues have asymptotic distributions near the phase transition in…
