Let $\psi_{\mathbb K}$ be the Chebyshev function of a number field $\mathbb K$. Let $\psi^{(1)}_{\mathbb K}(x):=\int_{0}^{x}\psi_{\mathbb K}(t)\,d t$ and $\psi^{(2)}_{\mathbb K}(x):=2\int_{0}^{x}\psi^{(1)}_{\mathbb K}(t)\,d t$. We prove…

Fix $\delta\in(0,1]$, $\sigma_0\in[0,1)$ and a real-valued function $\varepsilon(x)$ for which $\limsup_{x\to\infty}\varepsilon(x)\le 0$. For every set of primes ${\mathcal P}$ whose counting function $\pi_{\mathcal P}(x)$ satisfies an…

Let P(x,d,a) denote the number of primes p<=x with p=a(mod d). Chebyshev's bias is the phenomenon that `more often' P(x;d,n)>P(x;d,r) than the other way around, where n is a quadratic non-residue mod d and r is a quadratic residue mod d. If…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

The Green-Tao-Ziegler theorem provides asymptotics for the number of prime tuples of the form $(\psi_1(n),\ldots,\psi_t(n))$ when $n$ ranges among the integer vectors of a convex body $K\subset [-N,N]^d$ and $\Psi=(\psi_1,\ldots,\psi_t)$ is…

In this paper we discuss the generalizations of the concept of Chebyshev's bias from two perspectives. First we give a general framework for the study of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias attached to general $L$-functions satisfying…

We prove an explicit upper bound of the function $S(t,\chi)$, defined by the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions. An explicit upper bound of the function $S_1(t)$, defined by the integral of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, have…

We obtain new estimates on the level of distribution of the set $\{Q(n)\}$ where $Q\in{\mathbb Z}[X]$ is irreducible quadratic, for well-factorable moduli, improving a result due to Iwaniec. As a by-product of our arguments, we study the…

We establish an asymptotic formula for the first moment and derive an upper bound for the second moment of L-functions associated with the complete family of primitive cubic Dirichlet characters defined over the Eisenstein field. Our…

We provide a formula for the logarithmic density of the set of positive real numbers on which two prime counting functions $\psi(x;q,a)$ and $\psi(x;q,b)$ are simultaneously larger than their asymptotic main terms, as well as a method for…

One aspect of Chebyshev's bias is the phenomenon that a prime number, $ q $, modulo another prime number, $ p$, experimentally seems to be slightly more likely to be a nonquadratic residue than a quadratic residue. We thought it would be…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

Random matrix theory has successfully modeled many systems in physics and mathematics, and often the analysis and results in one area guide development in the other. Hughes and Rudnick computed $1$-level density statistics for low-lying…

Let a be an integer and q a prime number. In this paper, we find an asymptotic formula for the number of positive integers n < x with the property that no divisor d > 1 of n lies in the arithmetic progression a modulo q.

In this article, we prove that an asymptotic formula for the prime number race with respect to Fermat curves of prime degree is equivalent to part of the Deep Riemann Hypothesis (DRH), which is a conjecture on the convergence of partial…

It is well known that $li(x)>\pi(x)$ (i) up to the (very large) Skewes' number $x_1 \sim 1.40 \times 10^{316}$ \cite{Bays00}. But, according to a Littlewood's theorem, there exist infinitely many $x$ that violate the inequality, due to the…

We give an explicit version of a result due to D. Burgess. Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $p$. We show that the maximum number of consecutive integers for which $\chi$ takes on a particular value is less…

For any positive integer $q\geq 2$ and any real number $\delta\in(0,1)$, let $\alpha_q(n,\delta n)$ denote the maximum size of a subset of $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$ with minimum Hamming distance at least $\delta n$, where…

Dirichlet's theorem guarantees infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo q, but the analytic mechanism underlying this separation is often difficult to visualize directly. In this article we construct simplified…

Partitions of the set of primes are introduced based on the Chebyshev polynomials at rationals. The prime densities of all such partitions are established. Euler's Criterion for $SL(2,\mathbb Q)$ is formulated, which is the bridge between…
