Suppose fi, f2, -*, fk are polynomials in one variable with all coefficients integral and leading coefficients positive, their degrees being hi, h2, **. , hk respectively. Suppose each of these polynomials is irreducible over the field of rational numbers and no two of them differ by a constant factor. Let Q(fi , f2, ... , fk ; N) denote the number of positive integers n between 1 and IV inclusive such that fi(n) , f2(n), , fk(n) are all primes. (We ignore the finitely many values of n for…

Let G(x) be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. It is conjectured that the set {n ∈ N : G(n) is prime} is infinite for most G(x). If Pr denotes the set of squarefree positive
An Asymptotic Formula for the Number of Smooth Values of a Polynomial
Although we expect to find many smooth numbers (i.e., numbers with no large prime factors) among the values taken by a polynomial with integer coefficients, it is unclear what the asymptotic number

Abstract Let r be a positive integer and f 1 ,…, f r be distinct polynomials in Z [ X ]. If f 1 ( n ),…, f r ( n ) are all prime for infinitely many n , then it is necessary that the polynomials f i
Least primes in arithmetic progressions
For a xed non-zero integer a and increasing function f, we investigate the lower density of the set of integers q for which the least prime in the arithmetic progression a(mod q) is less than qf(q).

In this paper, we study various arithmetic properties of d + n/d, where d runs through all the τ(n) positive divisors of n. For example, denoting by ϖ(n) the number of prime values among these sums,

For k greater than 1 and r different from 0, let pi^k_{2r}(x) denote the number of prime pairs (p,p^k+2r) with p not exceeding (large) x. By the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the function pi^k_{2r}(x)

For any $r \in \mathbb{N}$ and almost all $k \in \mathbb{N}$ smaller than $x^r$, we show that the polynomial $f(n) = n^r + k$ takes the expected number of prime values as $n$ ranges from 1 to $x$. As

A Note on Gaussian Twin Primes
If to2 + 1 is a prime, then to + i is a Gaussian prime and conversely. If (n — l)2 + 1 and (n + l)2 + 1 are both prime, thenn — 1 + ¿and n + 1 + i form a pair of Gaussian twin primes [1, p. 82]. This
