1. There is no existing any quadratic interval $\eta_{n}:=(n^{2},(n+1)^{2}],$ which contains less than 2 prime numbers. The number of prime numbers within $\eta_{n}$ goes averagely linear with n to infinity. 2. The exact law of the number…

For relatively prime positive integers $u_0$ and $r$ and for $0\le k\le n$, define $u_k:=u_0+kr$. Let $L_n:={\rm lcm}(u_0, u_1, ..., u_n)$ and let $a, l\ge 2$ be any integers. In this paper, we show that, for integers $\alpha \geq a$ and…

Let $F \in S_{k_1}(\Gamma^{(2)}(N_1))$ and $G \in S_{k_2}(\Gamma^{(2)}(N_2))$ be two Siegel cusp forms over the congruence subgroups $\Gamma^{(2)}(N_1)$ and $\Gamma^{(2)}(N_2)$ respectively. Assume that they are Hecke eigenforms in…

Two results (together with their relatively elementary proofs) are presented. The first one presents the upper boundary on the number of spanning trees in a finite planar multigraph, proving that the complexity (the number of spanning…

Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…

We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…

We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…

For $n \geq 1$ let $ p_n $ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ prime number. Let $$S= \{1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29 \},$$ the set of positive integers which are both less than and relatively prime to $30.$ For $ x \geq 0,$ let \\ $T_x := \{ 30x+i \; | \; i…

We establish Ramanujan-style congruences modulo certain primes $\ell$ between an Eisenstein series of weight $k$, prime level $p$ and a cuspidal newform in the $\varepsilon$-eigenspace of the Atkin-Lehner operator inside the space of cusp…

It is shown that the Mean Value Theorem for arithmetic functions, and simple properties of the zeta function are sufficient to assemble proofs of the Prime Number Theorem, and Dirichlet Theorem. These are among the simplest proofs of the…

In this paper we establish a new explicit upper and lower bound for the $n$-th prime number, which improve the currently best estimates given by Dusart in 2010. As the main tool we use some recently obtained explicit estimates for the prime…

In this paper, we find the number of representations of the quadratic form $x_1^2+ x_1x_2 + x_2^2 + \ldots + x_{2k-1}^2 + x_{2k-1}x_{2k} + x_{2k}^2,$ for $k=7,9,11,12,14$ using the theory of modular forms. By comparing our formulas with the…

For every $\tau\in\mathbb{R}$ and every integer $N$, let $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau)$ be the minimum of the distance of $\tau$ from the sums $\sum_{n=1}^N s_n/n$, where $s_1, \ldots, s_n \in \{-1, +1\}$. We prove that $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau) <…

In 1948, Erd\"{o}s and Straus formulated a conjecture : for any positive integer $n>2$, there exist positive integers $n_1,n_2$ and $n_3$ such that…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

For a function $g:\N\to \N$, the \emph{$g$-regressive Ramsey number} of $k$ is the least $N$ so that \[N\stackrel \min \longrightarrow (k)_g\] . This symbol means: for every $c:[N]^2\to \N$ that satisfies $c(m,n)\le g(\min\{m,n\})$ there is…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, let $$ N^+_f(x)=\{n\leq x: n=k+f(k) \mbox{ for some } k\}. $$ Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

Based on the first 25 known values of Pi(10^n), the number of primes less than 10^n, with n integer between 1 and 25, we propose a conjectured value range of Pi(10^26) calculated by using polynomial interpolations with two corrective…

For an element $a$ of an integral domain D under an equivalence relation \tau, the \tau-factorization of a is defined as \lambda a_1 a_2... a_k, where \lambda is a unit in D and a_i \tau a_j for all i, j. An irreducible element has no…

Let $x$ be a positive integer. We give an asymptotic formula for the number of primes in the set $\{\fl{x/n}, 1 \le n \le x\}$ and give some related results.
