In this work we show that the prime distribution is deterministic. Indeed the set of prime numbers P can be expressed in terms of two subsets of N using three specific selection rules, acting on two sets of prime candidates. The prime…

Since the mathematicians of ancient Greece until Fermat, since Gauss until today; the way how the primes along the numerical straight line are distributed has become perhaps the most difficult math problem; many people believe that their…

The Prime Number Theorem states that the number of primes in $\{1,\ldots,x\}$, denoted $\pi(x)$, is approximately $\frac{x}{\ln(x)}$. In this paper, we investigate the distribution of primes for domains other than $\N$. First we look at…

There are two basic number sequences which play a major role in the prime number distribution. The first Number Sequence SQ1 contains all prime numbers of the form 6n+5 and the second Number Sequence SQ2 contains all prime numbers of the…

This is an article for a general mathematical audience on the author's work, joint with Terence Tao, establishing that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of primes. It is based on several one hour lectures, chiefly given at…

While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…

We study the distribution of primes from a topological viewpoint. Certain conjecture is introduced, and we show that it is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis.

The set of prime numbers has been analyzed, based on their algebraic and arithmetical structure. Here by obtaining a sort of linear formula for the set of prime numbers, they are redefined and identified; under a systematic procedure it has…

The chronicle of prime numbers travel back thousands of years in human history. Not only the traits of prime numbers have surprised people, but also all those endeavors made for ages to find a pattern in the appearance of prime numbers has…

We defined numbers of the form $p\cdot a^2$ as SP numbers (Square-Prime numbers) ($a\neq1$, $p$ prime) in 'Distribution of Square-Prime Numbers' (arXiv:2109.10238). These numbers are listed in the OEIS as A228056. Some examples of SP…

A hypothesis is put forward regarding the function $\pi_2(x)$ which describes the distribution of twin primes in the set of natural numbers. The function $\pi_2(x)$ is tested by evaluation and an empirical $\pi_2^{\ast}(x)$ is arrived at,…

We apply recent bounds of the author (math.PR/0609224) for generalized Smirnov statistics to the distribution of integers whose prime factors satisfy certain systems of inequalities.

We show one possible dynamical approach to the study of the distribution of prime numbers. Our approach is based on two complexity methods, the Computable Information Content and the Entropy Information Gain, looking for analogies between…

Statistical distribution of the primes in an arithmetic progression is considered. The estimation of prime numbers is given and combinatorial methods are used to calculate the twin primes on the available interval. The distribution and…

Let s_q(n) denote the base q sum of digits function, which for n<x, is centered around (q-1)/2 log_q x. In Drmota, Mauduit and Rivat's 2009 paper, they look at sum of digits of prime numbers, and provide asymptotics for the size of the set…

We study odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on odd prime and composite numbers and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of two sums and compare their convergence rate.

Based on new explicit estimates for the prime counting function, we improve the currently known estimates for the particular sequence $C_n = np_n - \sum_{k \leq n}p_k$, $n \geq 1$, involving the prime numbers.
