Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers and $r$ a fixed integer. Using a probabilistic model consistent with the Chebotarev theorem for the division fields of $E$ and the Sato-Tate distribution, Lang and Trotter…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of Fibonacci numbers. One of our main results says that for every sufficiently large integer $k$ there exists a prime number that can be represented as…
An interesting episode in the history of the prime number theorem concerns a formula proposed by Legendre for counting the primes below a given bound. We point out that arithmetic bias likely played an important role in arriving at that…
We establish unconditional $\Omega$-results for all weighted even moments of primes in arithmetic progressions. We also study the moments of these moments and establish lower bounds under GRH. Finally, under GRH and LI we prove an…
We study an extension of Montgomery's pair-correlation conjecture and its relevance in some problems on the distribution of prime numbers.
Gregory McColm conjectured that positive elementary inductions are bounded in a class K of finite structures if every (FO + LFP) formula is equivalent to a first-order formula in K. Here (FO + LFP) is the extension of first-order logic with…
We establish the equivalence of conjectures concerning the pair correlation of zeros of $L$-functions in the Selberg class and the variances of sums of a related class of arithmetic functions over primes in short intervals. This extends the…
Given a hypergraph $H$ and a weight function $w: V \rightarrow \{1, \dots, M\}$ on its vertices, we say that $w$ is isolating if there is exactly one edge of minimum weight $w(e) = \sum_{i \in e} w(i)$. The Isolation Lemma is a…
Probabilistic models for the distribution of primes in the natural numbers are constructed in the article. The author found and proved the probabilistic estimates of the deviation $R(x)=|\pi(x)- Li(x)|$. The author has analyzed the…
We give a conjecture for the moments of the Dedekind zeta function of a Galois extension via the hybrid product method. The moments of the product of primes are evaluated using the Montgomery-Vaughan mean value theorem whilst for the…
In the first paper under this title (1977), the first author utilized a duality identity between the largest and smallest prime factors involving the Moebius function, to establish the following result as a consequence of the Prime Number…
The Conjecture of Lehmer is proved to be true. The proof mainly relies upon: (i) the properties of the Parry Upper functions $f_{\house{\alpha}}(z)$ associated with the dynamical zeta functions $\zeta_{\house{\alpha}}(z)$ of the…
The primary goal of this paper is to provide a general multiplicity estimate. Our main theorem allows to reduce a proof of multiplicity lemma to the study of ideals stable under some appropriate transformation of a polynomial ring. In…
Lehmer conjectured that Ramanujan's tau function never vanishes. As a variation of this conjecture, it is proved that \begin{equation*} \tau(n)\neq \pm \ell, \pm 2\ell, \pm 2\ell^2, \end{equation*} where $\ell<100$ is an odd prime, by…
The Leopoldt conjecture is concerned with the image of the global units in the local units at the primes dividing p. In the definition of the global units the infinite place is distinguished. Exchanging p and infinity in the formulation one…
We give two improved explicit versions of the prime number theorem for primes in arithmetic progression: the first isolating the contribution of the Siegel zero and the second completely explicit, where the improvement is for medium-sized…
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…
Erd\"os conjectured that the set J of limit points of d_n/logn contains all nonnegative numbers, where d_n denotes the nth primegap. The author proved a year ago (arXiv: 1305.6289) that J contains an interval of type [0,c] with a positive…
The aim of this note is a proof of a recent conjecture of Kellner concerning the number of distinct prime factors of a particular product of primes. The proof uses profound results from analytic number theory, such as Granville-Ramar\'{e}'s…
