Let $f\in S_k(\Gamma_{0}(N))$ be a normalized Hecke eigenform of even integral weight $k$ and level $N$. Let $j\ge1$ be a positive integer. We prove that for almost all primes $p$, $p\nmid N$, and for all characters $\chi_{0}=\pm 1\pmod N$,…
We prove an analogue of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on the asymptotic distribution of prime constellations in the setting of short intervals in function fields of smooth projective curves over finite fields.
The article presents a generalization of the classical Hardy-Littlewood conjecture concerning the density of prime tuples to the case of tuples consisting of almost-prime numbers (numbers with a specified quantity of prime divisors). The…
Recently, I have defined the so called PDF's (prime distribution factors) which govern the distribution of prime numbers of the type $p,p+a_i$ being all primes up to some number $n$. It was shown that the PDF's are expressible in terms of…
Gross and Smith have put forward generalizations of Hardy - Littlewood twin prime conjectures for algebraic number fields. We estimate the behavior of sums of a singular series that arises in these conjectures, up to lower order terms. More…
We show that the number of positive integers $n\leq N$ such that $\mathbb{Z}/(n^2+n+1)\mathbb{Z}$ contains a perfect difference set is asymptotically $N/\log{N}$.
Under two assumptions, we determine the distribution of the difference between two functions each counting the numbers < x that are in a given arithmetic progression modulo q and the product of two primes. The two assumptions are (i) the…
We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…
We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
Combining the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture with a heuristic application of extreme-value statistics, we propose a family of estimator formulas for predicting maximal gaps between prime k-tuples. Computations show that the estimator…
This paper describes recent advances in the combinatorial method for computing $\pi(x)$, the number of primes $\leq x$. In particular, the memory usage has been reduced by a factor of $\log x$, and modifications for shared- and…
The Hardy-Littlewood method is a well-known technique in analytic number theory. Among its spectacular applications are Vinogradov's 1937 result that every sufficiently large odd number is a sum of three primes, and a related result of…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of primes $p\leq x_1$, $p\leq x_2$ such that $p_1(p_2+a)\equiv l \pmod q$ with $(a,q)=(l,q)=1$, $q\leq x^{\kappa_0}$, $x_1\geq x^{1-\alpha}$, $x_2\geq x^{\alpha}$, $$…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of primes and $\pi(x)$ the number of primes not exceeding $x$. Let also $P^+(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$ with convention $P^+(1)=1$ and $$ T_c(x)=\#\left\{p\le x:p\in \mathcal{P},P^+(p-1)\ge…
A positive integer $n$ is defined to be cyclic if and only if every group of size $n$ is cyclic. Equivalently, $n$ is cyclic if and only if $n$ is relatively prime to the number of positive integers less than $n$ that are relatively prime…
It has been well-observed that an inequality of the type $\pi(x;q,a) > \pi(x;q,b)$ is more likely to hold if $a$ is a non-square modulo $q$ and $b$ is a square modulo $q$ (the so-called ``Chebyshev Bias''). For instance, each of…
Given an integer g, g > 1, an integer w, -1 < w <g - 1, and a set of g distinct numbers, c_1, ..., c_g, we present a conjectured identity for Stirling numbers of the first kind. We have proven all the equalities in case g < 7; and for the…
Probably we have observed a new simple phenomena dealing with approximations to two real numbers.
The function $\sum_{p\leq x} \frac{1}{p} - \log\log(x) - M$ is known to change sign infinitely often, but so far all calculated values are positive. In this paper we prove that the first sign change occurs well before $\exp(495.702833165)$.
By a sphere-packing argument, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that are close to each other for some metrics on the integers. In particular, for any numeration basis $q$, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of…
