Using a wide array of machinery from diverse fields across mathematics, we provide a construction of a measure on the real line which is doubling on all $n$-adic intervals for any finite list of $n\in\mathbb{N}$, yet not doubling overall.…

This note discusses the existence of prime numbers in short intervals. An unconditional elementary argument seems to prove the existence of primes in the short intervals [x, x + y], where y >= x^(1/2)(log x)^e, e > 0, and a sufficiently…

In this note we investigate the problem of determining elements of the Selberg class from their Dirichlet series coefficients at the primes. We show that this is possible when the degree is one, but in general need an additional weak…

Let $f(x) = \sum\limits _{i=0}^{n} a_i x^i $ be a polynomial with coefficients from the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers satisfying either $(i)$ $0 < a_0 \leq a_{1} \leq \cdots \leq a_{k-1} < a_{k} < a_{k+1} \leq \cdots \leq a_n$ for some $k$,…

We construct a graph of Kummer elements in a given cyclic algebra of prime degree and study its properties. In case of degree 5, we provide sufficient conditions for two elements to have a chain of Kummer elements connecting them, such that…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $n, r$ integers such that $r\mid q^n-1$. An element of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of multiplicative order $(q^n-1)/r$ is called \emph{$r$-primitive}. For any odd prime power $q$, we show that there exists a…

We prove that if $x$ is large enough, namely $x\ge x_0$, then there exists a prime between $x(1- \Delta^{-1})$ and $x$, where $\Delta$ is an effective constant computed in terms of $x_0$. This improves some previous results of Ramar\'e and…

Let $(Q,\mathfrak{n})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $c \geq 2$ with algebraically closed residue field $k = Q/\mathfrak{n}$. Let $f_1, f_2, \ldots f_{c-1}, g$ be a regular sequence in $Q$ such that $ f_i \in \mathfrak{n}^2$ for all…

We present a comparative experimental study of planar curves arising from a Fourier series whose frequencies are the prime numbers, together with several randomized control models. Starting from the series $F_n(t)=\sum_{p\le n} v_p(n!)\,…

Let $ \lfloor {x} \rfloor $ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to a real number $x$. Given real numbers $0<\alpha_1 < \alpha_2 < \cdots< \alpha_k < 1$ satisfying a certain condition, we show that there are infinitely many…

Using the properties of the ideal of the coordinate Hermite interpolation on n-dimensional grid [4], we prove that the extension k in k[x1, x2, ..., xn] / (f1(x1), ..., fn(xn)) has a primitive element if and only if at most one of the…

Let $f=\sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n x^n \in \overline{\mathbb Q}[[x]$ be a solution of an algebraic differential equation $Q(x,y(x), \ldots, y^{(k)}(x))=0$, where $Q$ is a multivariate polynomial with coefficients in $\overline{\mathbb Q}$. The…

The degree sequence of the algebraic numbers in an algebraic linear recurrence sequence is shown to be virtually periodic. This is proved using the Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem. It has applications to the degree sequence and the minimal…

Let $S_{a,b}$ denote the sequence of leading digits of $a^n$ in base $b$. It is well known that if $a$ is not a rational power of $b$, then the sequence $S_{a,b}$ satisfies Benford's Law; that is, digit $d$ occurs in $S_{a,b}$ with…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…

We study the existence of various sign and value patterns in sequences defined by multiplicative functions or related objects. For any set $A$ whose indicator function is 'approximately multiplicative' and uniformly distributed on short…

We introduce and study block-separated overpartitions, a constrained family of overpartitions in which no two consecutive distinct part-blocks are both overlined. This local restriction produces a new sequence that naturally interpolates…

Prime numbers appeared in contexts spanning statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and dynamical systems. However, the mechanisms governing the irregularities observed in their sequence and linking them to physical systems remained…

It is the purpose of this thesis to enunciate and prove a collection of explicit results in the theory of prime numbers. First, the problem of primes in short intervals is considered. We prove that there is a prime between consecutive cubes…

Let $(m, n, k)$ be a tuple of integers with the property that if $i \leq k$, then $m + i$ and $n + i$ have the same radical. Using a result on the abc Conjecture, we bound $k$ from above, improving a result of Balasubramanian, Shorey, and…
