Almost‐prime values of polynomials at prime arguments
We consider almost-primes of the form $f(p)$ where $f$ is an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb Z$ and $p$ runs over primes. We improve a result of Richert for polynomials of degree at least $3$.Expand
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 positiveExpand

L'objet de cet article est de repondre a une question posee par Gelfond en 1968 en montrant que la somme des chiffres s q (p) des nombres premiers p ecrits en base q ≥ 2 est equirepartie dans lesExpand
On the Liouville function at polynomial arguments
Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. A problem posed by Chowla and by Cassaigne-Ferenczi-Mauduit-Rivat-Sarkozy asks to show that if $P(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, then the sequence $\lambda(P(n))$Expand
On Consecutive 1’s in Continued Fractions Expansions of Square Roots of Prime Numbers

In this note, we study the problem of existence of sequences of consecutive 1's in the periodic part of the continued fractions expansions of square roots of primes. We prove unconditionally that,Expand
The Green-Tao theorem for Piatetski-Shapiro primes
• Mathematics
• 2019
Let $m\geq 3$. Suppose that $$1-2^{-2^{m^24^m}}<\gamma<1.$$ Then the set $$\{p\text{ prime}:\, p=[n^{\frac1\gamma}]\text{ for some }n\in{\mathbb N}\}$$ contains infinitely many non-trivialExpand
Spacing and A Large Sieve Type Inequality for Roots of a Cubic Congruence.
Motivated by a desire to understand the distribution of roots of cubic congruences, we re-derive a parametrization of roots $\nu \pmod m$ of $X^3 \equiv 2 \pmod m$ found by Hooley. Although thisExpand
