We survey the potential for progress in additive number theory arising from recent advances concerning major arc bounds associated with mean value estimates for smooth Weyl sums. We focus attention on the problem of representing large…

Under Cram\'er's conjecture concerning the prime numbers, we prove that for any $x>1$, there exists a real $A=A(x)>1$ for which the formula $[A^{n^x}]$ (where $[]$ denotes the integer part) gives a prime number for any positive integer $n$.…

We find an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{1}})\cdots\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{m+1}})w_{n}$, where $(h_{i_{1}},...,h_{i_{m+1}})$ is any $(m+1)$-tuple of elements in the admissible set…

Let $f$ be a Rademacher or a Steinhaus random multiplicative function. Let $\varepsilon>0$ small. We prove that, as $x\rightarrow +\infty$, we almost surely have $$\bigg|\sum_{\substack{n\leq x\\…

Let $L_1$, $L_2$ $L_3$ be integer linear functions with no fixed prime divisor. We show there are infinitely many $n$ for which the product $L_1(n)L_2(n)L_3(n)$ has at most 7 prime factors, improving a result of Porter. We do this by means…

Let $M(x)$ denote the median largest prime factor of the integers in the interval $[1,x]$. We prove that $$M(x)=x^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{e}}\exp(-\text{li}_{f}(x)/x)}+O_{\epsilon}(x^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{e}}}e^{-c(\log x)^{3/5-\epsilon}})$$ where…

Let $D$ be a positive nonsquare integer, $p$ a prime number with $p \nmid D$, and $0< \sigma < 0.847$. We show that if the equation $x^2+D=p^n$ has a huge solution $(x_0,n_0)_{(p,\sigma)}$, then there exists an effectively computable…

This paper is motivated by the following question in sieve theory. Given a subset $X\subset [N]$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/2)$. Suppose that $|X\pmod p|\leq (\alpha+o(1))p$ for every prime $p$. How large can $X$ be? On the one hand, we have the…

Let $f(n)$ be a strongly additive complex valued arithmetic function. Under mild conditions on $f$, we prove the following weighted strong law of large numbers: if $ X,X_1,X_2,... $ is any sequence of integrable i.i.d. random variables,…

In 2016, Dummit, Granville, and Kisilevsky showed that the proportion of semiprimes (products of two primes) not exceeding a given $x$, whose factors are congruent to $3$ modulo $4$, is more than a quarter when $x$ is sufficiently large.…

In this paper, we prove the twin prime conjecture showing that \begin{align} \sum \limits_{\substack{p\leq x\\p,p+2\in \mathbb{P}}}1\geq (1+o(1))\frac{x}{2\mathcal{C}\log^2 x}\nonumber \end{align} where $\mathcal{C}:=\mathcal{C}(2)>0$ fixed…

Let $k\ge 2$ be a positive integer and $P^+(n)$ the greatest prime factor of a positive integer $n$ with convention $P^+(1)=1$. For any $\theta\in \left[\frac 1{2k},\frac{17}{32k}\right)$, set…

We study the existence of products of primes in arithmetic progressions, building on the work of Ramar\'e and Walker. One of our main results is that if $q$ is a large modulus, then any invertible residue class mod $q$ contains a product of…

In this paper we show that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a prime number in the interval $[n,9(n+3)/8]$. Based on this result, we prove that if $a$ is an integer greater than 1, then for every integer $n>14.4a$ there are at…

We make explicit an argument of Heath-Brown concerning large and small gaps between nontrivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function, $\zeta(s)$. In particular, we provide the first unconditional results on gaps (large and small) which hold…

Let P(n) denote the largest prime factor of $n \ge 2, P(1) = 1$, and let $$ \beta(n) = \sum_{p|n}p, \Beta(n) = \sum_{p^\alpha||n}\alpha p, \Beta_1(n) = \sum_{\p^\alpha||n}p^\alpha $$ denote "large" additive functions. A survey of results on…

Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…

Let $f$ be a primitive positive definite integral binary quadratic form of discriminant $-D$ and let $\pi_f(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$ which are represented by $f$. We prove several types of upper bounds for $\pi_f(x)$ within a…

Let $X$ be a large parameter. We will first give a new estimate for the integral moments of primes in short intervals of the type $(p,p+h]$, where $p\leq X$ is a prime number and $h=\odi{X}$. Then we will apply this to prove that for every…

Irrespective of whether n is prime, prime power with exponent >1, or composite, the group U_n of units of Z_n can sometimes be obtained as the direct product of cyclic groups generated by x, x+k and x+2k, for x, k in Z_n. Indeed, for many…
