We give a simple Tauberian proof of the Prime Number Theorem using only elementary real analysis. Hence, the analytic continuation of Riemann's zeta function $\zeta$ and its non-vanishing value on the whole line $\{z\in {\mathbb…

For any $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s)>0$, denote by $\eta_{n-1}(s)$ the $(n-1)^{th}$ partial sum of the Dirichlet series for the eta function $\eta(s)=1-2^{-s}+3^{-s}-\cdots \;$, and by $R_n(s)$ the corresponding remainder. Denoting by…

A real valued function, $G$, is provided whose Fourier transform, $\hat G$, is an entire function that satisfies, $E(s)\zeta(s) = \hat G(\frac{s -\frac{1}{2}}{i})$. Then $\hat G(\gamma) = 0$ for all nonreal zeros, $\rho = \frac{1}{2} + i…

The evaluation of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers is a classical result typically obtained through analytic continuation or contour integration. In this paper, we present a novel and concise derivation of these special values…

This short note for non-experts means to demystify the tasks of evaluating the Riemann Zeta Function at non-positive integers and at even natural numbers, both initially performed by Leonhard Euler. Treading in the footsteps of G. H. Hardy…

Let $\delta(p)$ tend to zero arbitrarily slowly as $p\to\infty$. We exhibit an explicit set $\mathcal{S}$ of primes $p$, defined in terms of simple functions of the prime factors of $p-1$, for which the least primitive root of $p$ is $\le…

An expression is any mathematical formula that contains certain formal variables and operations to be executed in a specified order. In computer science, it is usually convenient to represent each expression in the form of an expression…

We will derive a function that eliminates any sequence of equidistant numbers from the integer numbers, then we will derive its inverse. Then we will use the Sequence elimination function to eliminate the multiples of the prime numbers from…

The purpose of this note is to introduce a new approach to the study of one of the most basic and seemingly intractable problems in partition theory, namely the conjecture that the partition function $p(n)$ is equidistributed modulo 2. Our…

We give a formula for $f(\eta)$, where $f :\mathbb C \to \mathbb C$ is a continuously differentiable function satisfying $f(\bar z) = \overline{f(z)}$, and $\eta$ is a dual quaternion. Note this formula is straightforward or well known if…

Define the minimal excludant of an overpartition $\pi$, denoted $ \overline{\text{mex}}(\pi)$, to be the smallest positive integer that is not a part of the non-overlined parts of $\pi$. For a positive integer $n$, the function…

We prove lower bounds for the number of primes $p \leq N + b$ such that $p-b$ is divisible by $2^{k(N)}$ and has at most $k$ odd prime factors ($k \geq 2$), assuming $2^{k(N)} \leq N^\theta$ for some $\theta > 0$ depending on $k$. The proof…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f_n(x)= 1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!}+\cdots + \frac{x^n}{n!}$ denote the $n$-th Taylor polynomial of the exponential function. Let $K = \mathbf{Q}(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field where $\theta$ is a root of…

The usual division algorithms on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ measure the size of remainders using the norm function. These rings are Euclidean with respect to several functions. The pointwise minimum of all Euclidean functions $f: R…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…

We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…

The partition function, $p_A(n)$, is defined to be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the set A, where $n$ is a positive integer and $A$ is a set of positive integers. It is well documented that: if A is a finite set with…

In this paper, we investigate the minimality of the map $\frac{x}{\|x\|}$ from the euclidean unit ball $\mathbf{B}^n$ to its boundary $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ for weighted energy functionals of the type $E\_{p,f}= \int\_{\mathbf{B}^n}f(r)\|\nabla…

We study the number $p(n,t)$ of partitions of $n$ with difference $t$ between largest and smallest parts. Our main result is an explicit formula for the generating function $P_t(q) := \sum_{n \ge 1} p(n,t) \, q^n$. Somewhat surprisingly,…

The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…
