We show that for any $\alpha\in (1/2,1)$ the number of lattice points belonging to an arc of length $R^{\alpha}$ of the circle of radius $R$ centered at the origin is not uniformly bounded in $R$, which disproves the corresponding…
An interesting question, known as the Gaussian moat problem, asks whether it is possible to walk to infinity on Gaussian primes with steps of bounded length. Our work examines a similar situation in the real quadratic integer ring…
We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
Counting lattice points inside a ball of large radius in Euclidean space is a classical problem in analytic number theory, dating back to Gauss. We propose a variation on this problem: studying the asymptotics of the measure of an integer…
We formulate, using heuristic reasoning, precise conjectures for the range of the number of primes in intervals of length $y$ around $x$, where $y\ll (\log x)^2$. In particular we conjecture that the maximum grows surprisingly slowly as $y$…
The prime number graph is the set of points $(n,p_n)$ where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\rm th}$ prime. Let $L(n)$ be the minimum number of straight line segments needed to cover the first $n$ points in this set. Let $B(n)$ be the largest number…
We give an asymptotic formula for the mean value of the number of representations of an integer as sum of two squares known as the Gauss circle problem.
We study a lattice point counting problem for spheres arising from the Heisenberg groups. In particular, we prove an upper bound on the number of points on and near large dilates of the unit spheres generated by the anisotropic norms…
We show that the Gaussian primes $P[i] \subseteq \Z[i]$ contain infinitely constellations of any prescribed shape and orientation. More precisely, given any distinct Gaussian integers $v_0,...,v_{k-1}$, we show that there are infinitely…
This work proposes a proof of the simplest cubic primes counting problem. It shows that the subset of primes {p = n^3 + 2 is prime : n => 1} is an infinite subset of primes. Further, the expected order of magnitude of the cubic primes…
We generalize a Theorem of Ricci and count Gaussian primes $\mathfrak{p}$ with short interval restrictions on both the norm and the argument of $\mathfrak{p}$.
Counting the number of prime numbers up to a certain natural number and describing the asymptotic behavior of such a counting function has been studied by famous mathematicians like Gauss, Legendre, Dirichlet, and Euler. The prime number…
We present in this work a heuristic expression for the density of prime numbers. Our expression leads to results which possesses approximately the same precision of the Riemann's function in the domain that goes from 2 to 1010 at least.…
Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. For $z\geqslant 0$, let $G(n;z)$ denote the number of those indexes $j$ such that $p_{j+1}(n)>p_j(n)^{\exp z}$. We show uniform…
A few years ago we identified a recursion that works directly with the gaps among the generators in each stage of Eratosthenes sieve. This recursion provides explicit enumerations of sequences of gaps among the generators, which are known…
We experiment with some topics in elementary number theory. For matrices defined by Gaussian primes we observe a circular spectral law for the eigenvalues. We look at matrices defined by Gaussian primes and look at the growth of the…
In this article the study of the Prime Graph Question for the integral group ring of almost simple groups which have an order divisible by exactly $4$ different primes is continued. We provide more details on the recently developed "lattice…
The Cram\'er-Granville conjecture is an upper bound on prime gaps, $g_n = p_{n+1} - p_n < \cCramer \, \log^2 p_n$ for some constant $\cCramer \geq 1$. Using a formula of Selberg, we first prove the weaker summed version: $\sum_{n=1}^N g_n <…
Fermat showed that every prime p = 1 mod 4 is a sum of two squares: $p = a^2 + b^2$. To any of the 8 possible representations (a,b) we associate an angle whose tangent is the ratio b/a. In 1919 Hecke showed that these angles are uniformly…
We show that there exists some $\delta > 0$ such that, for any set of integers $B$ with $B\cap[1,Y]\gg Y^{1-\delta}$ for all $Y \gg 1$, there are infinitely many primes of the form $a^2+b^2$ with $b\in B$. We prove a quasi-explicit formula…
