We study the rates of convergence of the posterior distribution for Bayesian density estimation with Dirichlet mixtures of normal distributions as the prior. The true density is assumed to be twice continuously differentiable. The bandwidth…
We establish estimates for the number of ways to represent any reduced residue class as a product of a prime and an integer free of small prime factors. Our best results is conditional on the Generalised Riemann hypothesis (GRH). As a…
We study additive properties of consecutive prime numbers and the primality of the sums they generate. For a given prime number $p_n$, we consider the sums \[ S_k(p_n) = p_n + p_{n+1} + \cdots + p_{n+k-1}, \] where $k \ge 3$ is an odd…
We present a method for finding large fixed-size primes of the form $X^2+c$. We study the density of primes on the sets $E_c = \{N(X,c)=X^2+c,\ X \in (2\mathbb{Z}+(c-1))\}$, $c \in \mathbb{N}^*$. We describe an algorithm for generating…
Green and Tao proved that the primes contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. We show that, essentially the same proof leads to the following result: The primes in an short interval contains many arithmetic progressions of any…
In the paper, the occurrence of zeros and ones in the binary expansion of the primes is studied. In particular the statement in the title is established. The proof is unconditional.
A deep conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan on the distribution of prime numbers in short intervals of length $h$ says that the third moment is bounded by $\ll h^{\frac {3}{2}-c}$ for some $c>0$. There is in the literature some…
Under the assumption of infinitely many Siegel zeroes $s$ with $Re(s)>1-\frac{1}{(\log q)^{R}}$ for a sufficiently large value of $R$, we prove that there exist infinitely many $m$-tuples of primes that are $\ll e^{1.9828m}$ apart. This…
There is a large literature on the asymptotic distribution of numbers free of large prime factors, so-called $\textit{smooth}$ or $\textit{friable}$ numbers. But there is very little known about this distribution that is numerically…
In a Bayesian context, prior specification for inference on monotone densities is conceptually straightforward, but proving posterior convergence theorems is complicated by the fact that desirable prior concentration properties often are…
We define a new metric between natural numbers induced by the $\ell_\infty$ norm of their unique prime signatures. In this space, we look at the natural analog of the number line and study the arithmetic function $L_\infty(N)$, which…
Classical results due to Ingham and Paley-Wiener characterize the existence of nonzero functions supported on certain subsets of the real line in terms of the pointwise decay of the Fourier transforms. Viewing these results as uncertainty…
In the present work we prove a common generalization of Maynard-Tao's recent result about consecutive bounded gaps between primes and on the Erd\H{o}s-Rankin bound about large gaps between consecutive primes. The work answers in a strong…
In this paper we study the Mixed Littlewood Conjecture with pseudo-absolute values. We show that if p is a prime and D is a pseudo-absolute value sequence satisfying mild conditions then then the infimum over natural numbers n of the…
For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and $A\in\mathcal{X}$ with $\mu(A)>0$, we show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\mu\bigl(A\cap T^{-(p-1)}A\cap T^{-2(p-1)}A\bigr) > 0$ (the same holds with…
We use the repeated averages hierarchy to prove a Ramsey theorem regarding uniform upper estimates of convex block sequences of weakly null sequences. The base case of the theorem recovers a result of Freeman.
It is known that limit theorems for triangular arrays with identically distributed rows yields convergence of densities rather than just convergence in distribution. We show that this superconvergence result holds -- at least at points at…
Bertrand's postulate establishes that for all positive integers $n>1$ there exists a prime number between $n$ and $2n$. We consider a generalization of this theorem as: for integers $n\geq k\geq 2$ is there a prime number between $kn$ and…
Using recent results from the theory of integer points close to smooth curves, we give an asymptotic formula for the distribution of values of a class of integer-valued prime-independent multiplicative functions.
Abstract upper densities are monotone and subadditive functions from the power set of positive integers into the unit real interval that generalize the upper densities used in number theory, including the upper asymptotic density, the upper…
