A prime number $p$ is called a Schenker prime if there exists such $n\in\mathbb{N}_+$ that $p\nmid n$ and $p\mid a_n$, where $a_n = \sum_{j=0}^{n}\frac{n!}{j!}n^j$ is so-called Schenker sum. T. Amdeberhan, D. Callan and V. Moll formulated…

We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…

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…

A very useful fact in additive combinatorics is that analytic expressions that can be used to count the number of structures of various kinds in subsets of Abelian groups are robust under quasirandom perturbations, and moreover that…

In this note, we show that if $N$ is an odd perfect number and $q^{\alpha}$ is some prime power exactly dividing it, then $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}>5$. In general, we also show that if $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}<K$, where $K$…

The Fourier transform is naturally defined for integrable functrions. Otherwise, it should be stipulated in which sense the Fourier transform is understood. We consider some class of radial and, generally saying, nonintegrable functions.…

We obtain a new estimate for Kloosterman sum with primes $p\leqslant X$ to composite modulo $q$, that is, for the exponential sum of the type \[ \sum\limits_{p\leqslant X,\;p\,\nmid q}\exp{\biggl(\frac{2\pi…

Let $p \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ be prime, let $m$ and $n$ be integers such that $p=m^2+n^2$, and let $b$ be a positive integer. Let $Q(z,q) = (z,q/z,q;q)_{\infty}(qz^2,q/z^2;q^2)_{\infty}$ denote the product appearing in the quintuple product…

This document presents an alternative proof of Sylvester's theorem stating that "the product of $n$ consecutive numbers strictly greater than $n$ is divisible by a prime strictly greater than $n$". In addition, the paper proposes stronger…

We introduce a rigorous arithmetic--spectral construction associating planar geometric objects with additive prime factor statistics. Let $\mathrm{sopfr}(n)$ denote the sum of prime factors of $n$, counted with multiplicity, and define the…

Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

In 2002, M.Ram Murty showed that if p is a prime with k-adic expansion :$p = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_i k^i$ , then the polynomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_ix^i$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$.When $k = 10$ , it's a result of A.Cohn. I think…

This note establishes the full range of $L^p$--$L^q$ Fourier extension estimates for the model $n$-dimensional quadratic submanifold in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+3)/2}$ parametrized by $\gamma(x_1,\ldots,x_n) := (x_1,\ldots,x_n, (x_i x_j)_{1 \leq i…

In this paper we study mixed sums of primes and linear recurrences. We show that if m=2(mod 4) and m+1 is a prime then $(m^{2^n-1}-1)/(m-1)\not=m^n+p^a$ for any n=3,4,... and prime power p^a. We also prove that if a>1 is an integer, u_0=0,…

Let p be any prime, and $p^(\nu_p(n!))$ the maximal power of $p$ dividing $n!$. It is proved that there exists a positive integer $n_0$, which depends only on $p$, such that $q^(\nu_q(n!)) < p^(\nu_p(n!))$ for all $n \ge n_0$ and all primes…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…

Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…

We consider a generalization of the quaternion ring $\Big(\frac{a,b}{R}\Big)$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ that includes the case when $a$ and $b$ are not units of $R$. In this paper, we focus on the case $R=\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$…

This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p_1,\dots,p_n$ be distinct primes. If $G$ contains an element of order $p_1\cdots p_n,$ then there is an element in $G$ which is not contained in the Frattini subgroup of $G$ and whose order is divisible…
