The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, states that every odd number $n$ greater than $5$ can be written as the sum of three primes. The conjecture, posed in 1742, remained unsolved until now, in spite of great progress in…

I define Goldbach counting function with N > 0 and square-free P > 0. Decomposition of this function is discovered and deduction formula is found. I propose a hypothesis on upper bound of Goldbach counting function and prove that Goldbach…

For any real polynomial $p(x)$ of even degree $n$, Shapiro [{\it Arnold Math. J.} 1(1) (2015), 91--99] conjectured that the sum of the number of real zeros of $(n-1)(p')^2 - np p''$ and the number of real zeros of $p$ is positive. We…

For $n \geq 3,$ let $ p_n $ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ prime number. Let $[ \; ]$ denote the floor or greatest integer function. For a positive integer $m,$ let $\pi_2(m)$ denote the number of twin primes not exceeding $m.$ The twin prime…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…

We prove some new theorems in additive number theory, using novel techniques from automata theory and formal languages. As an example of our method, we prove that every natural number > 25 is the sum of at most three natural numbers whose…

Let $\delta > 1/2$. We prove that if $A$ is a subset of the primes such that the relative density of $A$ in every reduced residue class is at least $\delta$, then almost all even integers can be written as the sum of two primes in $A$. The…

We prove that the greedy sum of a direct product of two numeric arrays of complex numbers is equal to the product of the greedy sums of the factors provided that all the mentioned sums exist.

We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that not only does $p + 2$ have at most two prime factors, but $p + 6$ also has a bounded number of prime divisors. This refines the well known result of Chen.

We prove the Goldbach Conjecture using p-adic analysis and algebraic methods, requiring no knowledge of prime gaps or distribution by showing counterexamples exist if and only if certain polynomials have integer solutions. Assuming, for the…

Building on work of Davenport and Schmidt, we mainly prove two results. The first one is a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion which provides a sufficient condition for a complex or $p$-adic number $\xi$ to be algebraic in terms…

Every odd prime number p can be written in exactly (p + 1)/2 ways as a sum ab+cd of two ordered products ab and cd such that min(a, b) > max(c, d). An easy corollary is a proof of Fermat's Theorem expressing primes in 1 + 4N as sums of two…

A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

We investigate progressions in the set of pairs of integers $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and define a generalisation of the Jacobsthal function. For this function, we conjecture a specific upper bound and prove that this bound would be a sufficient…

Based on the propositional description of even Goldbach conjecture, in order to verify the truth of even Goldbach conjecture, we will deeply discuss this question and present a new computing model of $G{{N}_{e}}TM$ Turing Machine. This…

We consider weighted averages of the number of representations of an even integer as a sum of two prime numbers, where each summand lies in a given arithmetic progression modulo a common integer $q$. Our result is uniform in a suitable…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$ and let $P\in\Syl_p(G)$. We prove a recent conjecture by Hung stating that $|\Irr_{p'}(G)|\geq \frac{\exp(P/P')-1}{p-1}+2\sqrt{p-1}-1.$ Let $a\geq 2$ be an integer and suppose that…

A celebrated conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood provides with an asymptotic formula for the counting function of the twin primes. We give an unconditional proof of such a formula by means of a finite Ramanujan expansion of the counting…

In this note we use recent developments in sieve theory to highlight the interplay between Goldbach and de Polignac numbers. Assuming that the primes have level of distribution greater than $1/2$, we show that at least one of two nice…

We show that every set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper density can be shifted to contain the restricted sumset $\{b_1 + b_2 : b_1, b_2\in B \text{ and } b_1 \neq b_2 \}$ for some infinite set $B \subset A$.
