Do primes of the form $4k+1$ ever lead the greatest prime factor race?

Analogous to Chebyshev's race between primes, I examined the race between primes in the greatest prime factors, GPF, of natural numbers. Similar to the regular prime race, in the GPF race, the ...

is there a link with the probabilistic model for prime numbers?

Let $x \in \mathbb{R}_+$ and $k \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$. Let : $$\mathcal{A}(x)=\#\{(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k) \in \mathbb{P}^k \mid (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k \text{ verifying some properties}) \, , a_k \...

Counting twin primes with a sieve-like algorithm

The sequence A002822, denoted as $S$, represents all the twin primes except $\{3, 5\}$. Other than that exception, $k$ and $k+2$ are twin primes iff $(k+1)/6\in S$. Let $S(N)$ be the subset of $S$ ...

On a subset of the $abc$ triples

The $abc$ conjecture states that, for every positive real $\varepsilon$, there exist only finitely many triples $(a, b, c)$ of coprime positive integers such that $a + b = c$ and $$c > \...

A conjectured upper bound for the mean value of prime divisors inside prime gaps

In 1969 C.A. Grimm stated this interesting conjecture: the prime gap $\,G_n=\{x\in N:p_n\lt x\lt p_{n+1}\}\,$ contains at least $\,\#G_n=(p_{n+1}-p_n)-1=g_n-1\,$ distinct prime divisors, that is if $\,...

Arithmetic progression and average of two prime numbers

Let $A=(a_n : n \in \mathbb{N})$ be the sequence given by: $$ \ a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d,\quad a_1,\ d,\ n \in \mathbb N,\quad d\gt a_1,\quad \gcd(a_1,\ d)=1. $$ For all terms of $A$ greater than $\ \...

Attempt of exploit the equation $1/\operatorname{rad}(n)=1/2-2\varphi(n)/\sigma(n)$ in the context of even perfect numbers, and a related conjecture

It is well known that the problem concerning even perfect numbers is to prove or refute if there are infinitely many of them. Few weeks ago I wrote the following conjecture, where $\varphi(n)$ denotes ...

Inequalities $\pi(x^a+y^b)^\alpha\leq \pi(x^c)^\beta+\pi(y^d)^\gamma$ involving the prime-counting function, where the constants are very close to $1$

Let $\pi(x)$ be the prime-counting function, I'm curious about if a suitable variant of the second Hardy–Littlewood conjecture (this corresponding Wikipedia) $$\pi(x^a+y^b)^\alpha\leq \pi(x^c)^\beta+\...
