The following is proven using arguments that do not revolve around the Riemann Hypothesis or Sieve Theory. If $p_n$ is the $n^{\rm th}$ prime and $g_n=p_{n+1}-p_n$, then $g_n=O({p_n}^{2/3})$.

Let $k>2$ be a prime such that $2^k-1$ is a Mersenne prime. Let $n = 2^{\alpha-1}p$, where $\alpha>1$ and $p<3\cdot 2^{\alpha-1}-1$ is an odd prime. Continuing the work of Cai et al. and Jiang, we prove that $n\ |\ \sigma_k(n)$ if and only…

We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

In the present work we investigate the largest possible gaps between consecutive numbers which can be written as the difference of two primes. The best known upper bounds are the same as those concerning the largest possible difference of…

Recently the first author proved a congruence proposed in 2006 by Adamchuk: $\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor\frac{2p}{3}\rfloor}\binom{2k}{k}\equiv 0\pmod{p^2}$ for any prime $p=1 \pmod{3}$. In this paper, we provide more examples (with proofs) of…

Let $\omega^*(n) = \{d|n: d=p-1, \mbox{$p$ is a prime}\}$. We show that, for each integer $k\geq2$, $$ \sum_{n\leq x}\omega^*(n)^k \asymp x(\log x)^{2^k-k-1}, $$ where the implied constant may depend on $k$ only. This confirms a recent…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $m$ is an integer not divisible by $p$. Sun and Tauraso [Adv. in Appl. Math., 45(2010), 125--148] gave $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/m^k$ and $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/(km^k)$ modulo $p$ for…

Let $1<c<d$ be two relatively prime integers, $g_{c,d}=cd-c-d$ and $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of primes. For any given integer $k \geq 1$, we prove that $$\#\left\{p^k\le g_{c,d}:p\in \mathbb{P}, ~p^k=cx+dy,~x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant0}…

The main result of the paper is that assuming that the level $\theta$ of distribution of primes exceeds 1/2, then there exists a positive $d\leq C(\theta)$ such that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions with the property that…

This paper is concerned with the existence of consecutive pairs and consecutive triples of multiplicatively dependent integers. A theorem by LeVeque on Pillai's equation implies that the only consecutive pairs of multiplicatively dependent…

In this paper, using an algebraic approach, it is intended to show that the Goldbach's and Twin primes conjectures are true, building, for each $m>2$, an isomorphism between posets. One of the posets is the set of coprimes less than $m$,…

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,…

Let 0 < a < b be two relatively prime integers and let <a,b> be the numerical semigroup generated by a and b with Frobenius number g(a,b)=ab-a-b. In this note, we prove that there exists a prime number p in <a,b> with p < g(a,b) when the…

Let $k$ be an integer which is the difference between prime numbers infinitely often. It is known that there are infinitely many such $k$ and, in this paper, we give a new unconditional proof that these $k$ have positive density and improve…

In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving the sequence $$ t_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{x+k}{k}2^k $$ and solve some open problems. For any odd prime $p$ and $p$-adic integer $x$, we determine…

We study arithmetic progressions in primes with common differences as small as possible. Tao and Ziegler showed that, for any $k \geq 3$ and $N$ large, there exist non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progressions in (any positive density subset…

For a set of primes $\mathcal{P}$, let $\Psi(x, \mathcal{P})$ be the number of positive integers $n \leq x$ all of whose prime factors lie in $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper we classify the sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that $\Psi(x,…

Let $S_{(x,y]} = \left\{\frac{p_n}{p_{n+1}-2} :~ n\in I \right\}$, where $I = \left\{n :~ x<p_n \le y \right\}$, $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime and $x, y \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$. If $M_\alpha(x,y)$ denotes the $\alpha$-power mean of the elements of…

In this paper, we mainly prove a congruence conjecture of Z.-W. Sun \cite{Sjnt}: Let $p>5$ be a prime. Then $$ \sum_{k=(p+1)/2}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k^2}{k16^k}\equiv-\frac{21}2H_{p-1}\pmod{p^4}, $$ where $H_n$ denotes the $n$-th harmonic…

By Maynard's theorem and the subsequent improvements by the Polymath Project, there exists a positive integer $b\leq 246$ such that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+b$ is also prime. Let $P_1,...,P_t\in \mathbb{Z}[y]$ with…
