Abstract
Let be a sufficiently large integer, and . We show there are infinitely many prime numbers which do not have the digit in their base expansion. Similar results are obtained for values of a polynomial (satisfying the necessary local conditions) and if multiple digits are excluded. Our proof is based on the Hardy-Littlewood circle method and Fourier analysis of the set of integers with no digit equal to in base .
