Generalized Cunningham chains are sets of the form $\{f^n(z)\}_{n\ge0}$ where all its elements are prime numbers and $f$ is a linear polynomial with integer coefficients. We generalize this definition further to include starting terms that…
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 $m$).
A primorial prime is a prime number of the form $p_n\# \pm 1$ where $p_n\#$ denotes the product of all primes less than or equal to $p_{n}$, the $n$-th prime. We show that the probability along the lines of Mertens' Theorem that either…
Hasanalizade [1] studied Deaconescu's conjecture for positive composite integer $n$. A positive composite integer $n\geq4$ is said to be a Deaconescu number if $S_2(n)\mid \phi(n)-1$. In this paper, we improve Hasanalizade's result by…
The aim of this paper is to try to establish a generic model for the problem that several multivariable number-theoretic functions represent simultaneously primes for infinitely many integral points. More concretely, we introduced briefly…
We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. $P_{1},P_{2},P_{3}$ are three subsets of $\mathcal{P}$. Let $\underline{\delta}(P_{i})$ $(i=1,2,3)$ denote the lower density of $P_{i}$ in $\mathcal{P}$, respectively. It is proved that if…
We show that under Dickson's conjecture about the distribution of primes in the natural numbers, the theory Th(Z,+,1,0,Pr) where Pr is a predicate for the prime numbers and their negations is decidable, unstable and supersimple. This is in…
Fix a positive real number $\theta$. The natural numbers $m$ with largest square-free divisor not exceeding $m^\theta$ form a set $\mathscr{A}$, say. It is shown that whenever $\theta>1/2$ then all large natural numbers $n$ are the sum of…
In 1951, Linnik proved the existence of a constant $K$ such that every sufficiently large even number is the sum of two primes and at most $K$ powers of 2. Since then, this style of approximation has been considered for problems similar to…
The seminal work of Kurzweil (1955) provides for any fixed badly approximable $\alpha$ and monotonically decreasing $\psi$ a Khintchine-type statement on the set of the inhomogeneous real parameters $\gamma$ for which $\lVert n \alpha +…
The Green-Tao-Ziegler theorem provides asymptotics for the number of prime tuples of the form $(\psi_1(n),\ldots,\psi_t(n))$ when $n$ ranges among the integer vectors of a convex body $K\subset [-N,N]^d$ and $\Psi=(\psi_1,\ldots,\psi_t)$ is…
Tao has shown that in any fixed base, a positive proportion of prime numbers cannot have any digit changed and remain prime. In other words, most primes are "digitally delicate". We strengthen this result in a manner suggested by Tao: A…
Recently (in 2011) several new theorems concerning this conjecture were proved by Bourgain and Kontorovich. The easiest of them states that the set of numbers satisfying Zaremba's conjecture with A=50 has positive proportion in $\N.$ The…
We give a triplet of short proofs, each of which answers a question raised by Erd\H{o}s. The first concerns the small prime factors of $\binom{n}{k}$, the second concerns whether an additive basis $A$ can always be split into pieces $A_1$…
Under sufficiently strong assumptions about the first term in an arithmetic progression, we prove that for any integer $a$, there are infinitely many $n\in \mathbb N$ such that for each prime factor $p|n$, we have $p-a|n-a$. This can be…
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 $$\gamma^*:=\frac{8}{9}+\frac{2}{3}\:\frac{\log(10/9)}{\log 10}\:(\approx 0.919\ldots)\:,\ \gamma^*<\frac{1}{c_0}\leq 1\:.$$ Let $\gamma^*<\gamma_0\leq 1$, $c_0=1/\gamma_0$ be fixed. Let also $a_0\in\{0,1,\ldots, 9\}$. In [23] we proved…
We prove a long-standing conjecture of Chudnovsky for very general and generic points in $\mathbb{P}_k^N$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and for any finite set of points lying on a quadric, without any…
Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…
