The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when…

A folklore conjecture in number theory states that the only integers whose expansions in base $3,4$ and $5$ contain solely binary digits are $0, 1$ and $82000$. In this paper, we present the first progress on this conjecture. Furthermore,…

We prove Bombieri-Vinogradov type theorems for primes with a missing digit in their $b$-adic expansion for some large positive integer $b$. The proof is based on the circle method, which relies on the Fourier structure of the integers with…

For an integer $b \geqslant 2$ and a set $S\subset \{0,\cdots,b-1\}$, we define the Kempner set $\mathcal{K}(S,b)$ to be the set of all non-negative integers whose base-$b$ digital expansions contain only digits from $S$. These well-studied…

Let $q$ be a sufficiently large integer, and $a_0\in\{0,\dots,q-1\}$. We show there are infinitely many prime numbers which do not have the digit $a_0$ in their base $q$ expansion. Similar results are obtained for values of a polynomial…

Recently the authors showed that the algebraic integers of the form $-m+\zeta_k$ are bases of a canonical number system of $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_k]$ provided $m\geq \phi(k)+1$, where $\zeta_k$ denotes a $k$-th primitive root of unity and $\phi$…

For $q>1$ we consider expansions in base $q$ over the alphabet $\{0,1,q\}$. Let $\mathcal{U}_q$ be the set of $x$ which have a unique $q$-expansions. For $k=2, 3,\cdots,\aleph_0$ let $\mathcal{B}_k$ be the set of bases $q$ for which there…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. Not much is known on the representation in base $b$ of prime numbers or of numbers whose prime factors belong to a given, finite set. Among other results, we establish that any sufficiently large integer which…

Let $\alpha, \beta$ be two relatively prime algebraic integers in a number field $K$ and $N$ be a positive integer. We show that the number of $n\in\{1,2,\dots,N\}$ such that the $\beta$-adic expansion of $\alpha^n$ omits a given digit is…

For a positive integer $m$ let $\Omega _m=\{0,1, \cdots , m\}$ and \begin{align*} \mathcal B_2(m)=&\left \{q\in(1,m+1]: \text{$\exists\; x\in [0, m/(q-1)]$ has exactly }\right. \\ &\left. \text{two different $q$-expansions w.r.t. $\Omega…

We consider a problem concerning the distribution of points with missing digits coordinates that are close to non-degenerate analytic submanifolds. We show that large enough (to be specified in the paper) sets of points with missing digits…

James Maynard has taken the analytic number theory world by storm in the last decade, proving several important and surprising theorems, resolving questions that had seemed far out of reach. He is perhaps best known for his work on small…

Let $b \geq 3$ be an integer and $C(b,D)$ be the set of real numbers in $[0,1]$ whose base $b$ expansion only consists of digits in a set $D \subseteq \{0,...,b-1\}$. We study how close can numbers in $C(b,D)$ be approximated by rational…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…

In this paper, we consider some additive properties of integers with restricted digit expansions. Let $b\geq 3$ be an integer and $B_b$ be the set of integers whose base $b$ expansions have only digits $\{0,1\}.$ Let $a,b,c$ be three…

We show that, for any $r\geq 1$, if $g_1,\ldots,g_r$ are distinct coprime integers, sufficiently large depending only on $r$, then for any $\epsilon>0$ there are infinitely many integers $n$ such that all but $\epsilon \log n$ of the digits…

We investigate the problem of finding integers $k$ such that appending any number of copies of the base-ten digit $d$ to $k$ yields a composite number. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many integers coprime to all digits…

There has been always an ambiguity in division when zero is present in the denominator. So far this ambiguity has been neglected by assuming that division by zero as a non-allowed operation. In this paper, I have derived the new set of…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

In this paper, we first prove that given pairwise distinct algebraic numbers $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n$, the numbers $\alpha_1+t, \ldots, \alpha_n+t$ are multiplicatively independent for all sufficiently large integers $t$. Then, for a…
