In this short paper we present an elementary proof of the infinitude of primes. Our proof is similar in spirit to Euler's proof that the reciprocals of primes diverges and only uses tools from elementary number theory and calculus. In…

We present a new, elementary, dynamical proof of the prime number theorem.

If p is a prime, then the numbers 1, 2, ..., p-1 form a group under multiplication modulo p. A number g that generates this group is called a primitive root of p; i.e., g is such that every number between 1 and p-1 can be written as a power…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

Let $\mathcal{A}'$ be the set of integers missing any three fixed digits from their decimal expansion. We produce primes in a thin sequence by proving an asymptotic formula for counting primes of the form $p = m^2 + \ell^2$, with $\ell \in…

In this paper, we propose a new primality test, and then we employ this test to find a formula for {\pi} that computes the number of primes within any interval. We finally propose a new formula that computes the nth prime number as well as…

In this note we prove an inequality involving primes and the product of consecutive primes.

In this note, we propose simple summations for primes, which involve two finite nested sums and Bernoulli numbers. The summations can also be expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials.

We reveal a relationship between the prime counting function and an operation performed on a unique subsequence of the primes.

For a positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the distance from $n$ to the nearest prime number. We prove that every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented as the sum $N=n_1+n_2$, where $$ F(n_i) \geqslant (\log…

I give some claims on primorial prime numbers for interested readers in number theory.

We describe a straightforward method to generate a random prime q such that the multiplicative group GF(q)* also has a random large prime-order subgroup. The described algorithm also yields this order p as well as a p'th primitive root of…

We survey the classical results on the prime number theorem

The theorem below gives another way of computing the distribution prime counting function without using recursion and the values of Prime numbers

We call an integer N>1 primover to base a if it either prime or overpseudoprime to base a. We prove, in particular, that every Fermat number is primover to base 2. We also indicate a simple process of receiving of primover divisors of…

The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…

A new set of formulas for primes is presented. These formulas are more efficient and grow much slower than the two known formulas of Mills and Wright. 3 new formulas are explained.

In the present work the existence of some patterns of primes is shown which generalize the celebrated result of Green and Tao according to which there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the sequence of primes

With the formula of Gandhi you can determine the on $p_n$ immedately subsequent prime $p_{n+1}$ from the knowledge of the primes $p_1, p_2, ... , p_n$. An elementary proof of its trueness will be detailed shown in this paper. Finally the…
