We study the distribution of squares in a Piatetski-Shapiro sequence $\left(\lfloor n^c\rfloor\right)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ with $c>1$ and $c\not\in\mathbb N$. We also study more general equations $\lfloor{n^c}\rfloor = sm^2$, $n,m\in \mathbb…

We establish discorrelation estimates between the Piatetski-Shapiro prime set \[ \mathcal{P}_{\gamma} := \{p \text{ is prime and } p = \lfloor n^{1/\gamma} \rfloor \text{ for some } n \in \mathbb{N}\} \] and arbitrary nilsequences when…

We prove that $\mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{m \leq M} \mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{n \leq N} \Lambda(n) \Lambda\bigl(n + \lfloor m^c \rfloor\bigr) = 1 + \rm{O}(\log^{2 - Bc} N)$, where $c > 2$ is a non-integer, $B \geq 3/c$, and $M$ is of order $N^{1/c}…

We extend to Segal-Piatetski-Shapiro sequences previous results on the Luca-Schinzel question over integral valued polynomial sequences. Namely, we prove that for any real $c$ larger than $1$ the sequence $(\sum_{m\le n} \varphi(\lfloor m^c…

Suppose that $1<c<9/8$. For any $m\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many $n$ such that $$ \{[n^c],\ [(n+1)^c],\ \ldots,\ [(n+k_0)^c]\} $$ contains at least $m+1$ primes, if $k_0$ is sufficiently large (only depending on $m$).

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function. In this paper we show that when $1<c<\frac{3849}{3334}$, then there exist infinitely many prime numbers of the form $[n^c]$, where $n$ is square-free.

Let $[\,\cdot\,]$ be the floor function. In this paper we show that whenever $\eta$ is real, the constants $\lambda_i$ satisfy some necessary conditions, then for any fixed $1<c<38/37$ there exist infinitely many prime triples $p_1,\,…

Integer sequences of the form $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$, where $1<c<2$, can be locally approximated by sequences of the form $\lfloor n\alpha+\beta\rfloor$ in a very good way. Following this approach, we are led to an estimate of the difference…

For any real number $t$, let $[t]$ denote the integer part of $t$. In this paper it is proved that if $1<c<\frac{247}{238}$, then for sufficiently large integer $N$, the equation \[\left[p^{c}\right]+\left[m^{c}\right]=N\] has a solution in…

We prove that it is always possible to find a permutation $p$ on the set $\{1,...,n\}$ such that $c+p(c)$ is prime for all $c \in \{1,...,n\}.$

In this paper, it is proved that, for any $\gamma_1,\gamma_2,\gamma_3,\gamma_4,\gamma_5\in(\frac{28}{29},1)$, every sufficiently large integer $n$ subject to $n\equiv5\pmod{24}$ can be represented as the sum of five squares of primes, i.e.,…

In this paper we show that, for any fixed $1<c<967/805$, every sufficiently large positive number $N$ and a small constant $\varepsilon>0$, the diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} |p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c-N|<\varepsilon \end{equation*}…

In this paper, we exhibit an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a large integer as a sum of a fixed power of Piatetski-Shapiro primes, thereby establishing a variant of Waring-Goldbach problem with primes from a sparse…

We estimate from below the lower density of the set of prime numbers p such that p-1 has a prime factor of size at least p^c, where c lies in between 1/4 and 1/2. We also establish upper and lower bounds on the counting function of the set…

Let $\pi(x;\gamma_1,\gamma_2)$ denote the number of primes $p$ with $p\leqslant x$ and $p=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_1}_1\rfloor=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_2}_2\rfloor$, where $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and…

Let $f$ be a positive multiplicative function and let $k\geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that if the prime values $f(p)$ converge to $1$ sufficiently slowly as $p\rightarrow +\infty$, in the sense that $\sum_{p}|f(p)-1|=\infty$, there exists…

Let S be an infinite set of non-empty, finite subsets of the nonnegative integers. If p is an odd prime, let c(p) denote the cardinality of the set {T {\in} S : T {\subseteq} {1,...,p-1} and T is a set of quadratic residues (respectively,…

In this paper, we prove a quantitative version of the statement that every nonempty finite subset of $\mathbb{N}^+$ is a set of quadratic residues for infinitely many primes of the form $[n^c]$ with $1\leqslant c\leqslant243/205$.…

Let $1 < c < 24/19$. We show that the number of integers $n \le N$ that cannot be written as $[p_1^c] + [p_2^c]$ ($p_1$, $p_2$ primes) is $O(N^{1-\sigma+\varepsilon})$. Here $\sigma$ is a positive function of $c$ (given explicitly) and…
