We prove that for a positive integer $k$ the primes in certain kinds of intervals can not distribute too 'uniformly' among the reduced residue classes modulo $k$. Hereby, we prove a generalization of a conjecture of Recaman and establish…

The effective version of Chebotarev's density theorem under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Artin conjecture (cf. Iwaniec and Kowalski's Analytic Number Theory, 5.13) involves a numerical invariant of a subset $D$ of a finite…

Let a be a positive integer which is not a perfect h-th power with h greater than 1, and Q_a(x;4,j) be the set of primes p less than x such that the residual order of a(mod p) is congruent to j modulo 4. When j=0, 2, it is known that…

Given an integer $t\ge 1$, a rational number $g$ and a prime $p\equiv 1({\rm mod} t)$ we say that $g$ is a near-primitive root of index $t$ if $\nu_p(g)=0$, and $g$ is of order $(p-1)/t$ modulo $p$. In the case $g$ is not minus a square we…

Let a be a positive integer greater than 1, and Q_a(x;k,j) be the set of primes p less than x such that the residual order of a(mod p) is congruent to j modulo k. In this paper, the natural densities of Q_a(x;4,j) (j=0,1,2,3) are…

We prove specific biases in the number of occurrences of parts belonging to two different residue classes $a$ and $b$, modulo a fixed non-negative integer $m$, for the sets of unrestricted partitions, partitions into distinct parts, and…

In this article we discuss a version of the Chebotarev density for function fields over perfect fields with procyclic absolute Galois groups. Our version of this density theorem differs from other versions in two aspects: we include…

The appearance of primes in a family of linear recurrence sequences labelled by a positive integer $n$ is considered. The terms of each sequence correspond to a particular class of Lehmer numbers, or (viewing them as polynomials in $n$)…

Chebotarev's density theorem asserts that the prime ideals are equidistributed among the conjugacy classes of the Galois group of any normal extension of number fields. An effective version of this theorem was first established by Lagarias…

We consider a problem of P. Erdos, A. M. Odlyzko and A. Sarkozy about the representation of residue classes modulo m by products of two not too large primes. While it seems that even the Extended Riemann Hypothesis is not powerful enough to…

For a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, and also trinomials of some special form, we show that, under some natural conditions (necessary for quadratic polynomials), the set…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $K^\times$. Without relying on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the order of…

For positive integers $q$, Dirichlet's theorem states that there are infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo $q$. A stronger form of the theorem states that the primes are equidistributed among the $\varphi(q)$ reduced…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

Fix a modulus $q$. One would expect the number of primes in each invertible residue class mod $q$ to be multinomially distributed, i.e. for each $p \,\mathrm{mod}\, q$ to behave like an independent random variable uniform on…

For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…

Let a,f and g be integers, with a and f coprime. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis it follows from work of Hooley and Lenstra that the set of primes p such that p=a(mod f) and g is primitive root mod p has a natural density. In this…

Chebyshev presented a conjecture after observing the apparent bias towards primes congruent to $3\pmod 4$. His conjecture is equivalent to a version of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis. Fujii strengthened this conjecture; we strengthen it…

We give explicit numerical estimates for the generalized Chebyshev functions. Explicit results of this kind are useful for estimating of computational complexity of algorithms which generates special primes. Such primes are needed to…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH) and the linear independence conjecture (LI), we show that the weighted count of primes in multiple short intervals follows a multivariate Gaussian distribution with weak negative correlations. As an…
