We prove an upper bound for the length of an arithmetic progression represented by an irreducible integral binary quadratic form or a norm form, which depends only on the form and the progression's common difference. For quadratic forms,…

We show that for every $\varepsilon>0$ there is an absolute constant $c(\varepsilon)>0$ such that the following is true. The union of any $n$ arithmetic progressions, each of length $n$, with pairwise distinct differences must consist of at…

We answer a number of questions of Erd\H{o}s on the existence of arithmetic progressions in $k$-full numbers (i.e. integers with the property that every prime divisor necessarily occurs to at least the $k$-th power). Further, we deduce a…

We show that there exists an upper bound for the number of squares in arithmetic progression over a number field that depends only on the degree of the field. We show that this bound is 5 for quadratic fields, and also that the result…

Gerard and Washington proved that, for $k > -1$, the number of primes less than $x^{k+1}$ can be well approximated by summing the $k$-th powers of all primes up to $x$. We extend this result to primes in arithmetic progressions: we prove…

For two odd primes $p$ and $q$ such that $p<q$, let $A(p,q):=(a_k)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be the arithmetic progression whose $k$th term is given by $a_k=(k-1)(q-p)+p$ (i.e., with $a_1=p$ and $a_2=q$). Here we conjecture that for every positive…

We derive explicit upper bounds for various functions counting primes in arithmetic progressions. By way of example, if $q$ and $a$ are integers with $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $3 \leq q \leq 10^5$, and $\theta(x;q,a)$ denotes the sum of the…

We describe some of the machinery behind recent progress in establishing infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in various sets of integers, in particular in arbitrary dense subsets of the integers, and in the primes.

Let $(a,a+d,a+2d)$ be an arithmetic progression of positive integers. The following statements are proved: (1) If $a\mid 2d$, then $(a, a+d, a+2d)\in\mdeg(\Tame(\mathbb{C}^3))$. (2) If $a\nmid 2d$, then, except for arithmetic progressions…

New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $\leq x$ which can be written as the product of $k ~(\geq 2)$ distinct primes $p_1\cdots p_k$ with each prime factor in an arithmetic progression $p_j\equiv a_j \bmod q$, $(a_j,…

Let ${\rm cs}(G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of a group $G$, and let ${\rm cs}^*(G)={\rm cs}(G)\setminus\{1\}$ be the sizes of non-central classes. We prove three results. We classify all finite groups $G$ with ${\rm…

In this note, we show how to adapt Tao's slice rank method to extend the Ellenberg--Gijswijt theorem on cap sets to the problem of forbidding arithmetic progressions with restricted differences. In particular, we show that if $q$ is an odd…

In this paper, it is proved that there is an arithmetic progression of positive integers such that each of which is expressible neither as $p+F_m$ nor as $q+L_n$, where $ p,q $ are primes, $ F_m $ denotes the $ m $-th Fibonacci number and $…

An overview of the results of new exhaustive computations of gaps between primes in arithmetic progressions is presented. We also give new numerical results for exceptionally large least primes in arithmetic progressions.

We develop a theory of multiplicative functions (with values inside or on the unit circle) in arithmetic progressions analogous to the well-known theory of primes in arithmetic progressions.

We introduce a refinement of the classical Liouville function to primes in arithmetic progressions. Using this, we discover new biases in the appearances of primes in a given arithmetic progression in the prime factorizations of integers.…

We prove effective finiteness results concerning polynomial values of the sums $$ b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k + \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k $$ and $$ b^k - \left(a+b\right)^k + \left(2a+b\right)^k - \ldots + (-1)^{x-1}…

We show that there exists a positive constant C such that the following holds: Given an infinite arithmetic progression A of real numbers and a sufficiently large integer n (depending on A), there needs at least Cn geometric progressions to…

Let $AP_k=\{a,a+d,\ldots,a+(k-1)d\}$ be an arithmetic progression. For $\epsilon>0$ we call a set $AP_k(\epsilon)=\{x_0,\ldots,x_{k-1}\}$ an $\epsilon$-approximate arithmetic progression if for some $a$ and $d$, $|x_i-(a+id)|<\epsilon d$…
