We show that for any set $D$ of at least two digits in a given base $b$, there exists a $\delta(D,b)>0$ such that within the set $\mathcal{A}$ of numbers whose digits base $b$ are exclusively from $D$, the number of even integers in…

In this note we use recent developments in sieve theory to highlight the interplay between Goldbach and de Polignac numbers. Assuming that the primes have level of distribution greater than $1/2$, we show that at least one of two nice…

We study the distribution of prime numbers under the unlikely assumption that Siegel zeros exist. In particular we prove for \[ \sum_{n \leq X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(\pm n+h) \] an asymptotic formula which holds uniformly for $h = O(X)$. Such…

We compute all primes up to $6.25\times 10^{28}$ of the form $m^2+1$. Calculations using this list verify, up to our bound, a less famous conjecture of Goldbach. We introduce `Goldbach champions' as part of the verification process and…

We prove new results on the additive theory of reversed primes $\overleftarrow{p}$; that is, primes $p$ which are written backwards in a fixed base $b\geq 2$. In particular, we study a variant of Goldbach's conjecture, looking at…

Let $p_n$ be $n$th prime, and let $(S_n)_{n=1}^\infty:=(S_n)$ be the sequence of the sums of the first $2n$ consecutive primes, that is, $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$ with $n=1,2,\ldots$. Heuristic arguments supported by the corresponding…

Let $E(X)$ denote the number of even integers below $X$ which are not a sum of two primes. We prove the bound $E(X)=O(X^{\frac{7}{10}})$, where the implicit constant is ineffective. The method applied here also leads to $P(q)=O(q^5)$, where…

In the present work we investigate the largest possible gaps between consecutive numbers which can be written as the difference of two primes. The best known upper bounds are the same as those concerning the largest possible difference of…

A scarcely known generalization of Goldbach's conjecture introduced by Hardy and Littlewood states that for every pair of (relatively prime) positive integers m1 and m2, every sufficiently large integer n satisfying certain simple…

It is a well-known fact that for any natural number $n$, there always exists a prime in $[n, 2n]$. Our aim in this note is to generalize this result to $[n, kn]$. A lower as well as an upper bound on the number of primes in $[n, kn]$ were…

In this work we use the number classification in families of the form 6n+1, and 6n+5 with n integer (Such families contain all odd prime numbers greater than 3 and other compound numbers related with primes). We will use this kind of…

Improving earlier estimates of several authors we show that the number E(X) of Goldbach exceptional even integers (that is, even integers which cannot be written as the sum of two primesw) below X satisfies tho bound E(X) < X^0.72 for…

The famous Goldbach conjecture remains open for nearly three centuries. Recently Goldbach graphs are introduced to relate the problem with the literature of Graph Theory. It is shown that the connectedness of the graphs is equivalent to the…
