Questions tagged [prime-constellations]

On certain subsets of prime numbers which are consecutive and close. Prime twins $p$ and $p+2$, as well as $p-2, p, p+4$, are constellations. Also related are admissible sets in number theory, which are sets $A$ of integers $a_i$ such that there may be an integer $t$ with many or all of $t+a_i$ being prime. This has ties to prime gaps and additive number theory

Are prime numbers among sums of prime numbers distributed as $\frac n{2\ln(n)}$?

Let $(s_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be defined as follows: For $n\in\mathbb N$, $s_n:=2+3+5+\cdots+p_n$ is the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers (e.g.: $s_1=2$, $s_2=5$, $s_3=10$, $s_4=17$, $\ldots$). Let $\...

On a conjecture about the arithmetic function that counts the number of twin primes

This is cross-posted from the question that I've asked with same title on Mathematics Stack Exchange two months ago, which has remained unanswered. Given a positive real number $x$ we will write ...

Euclides' sieve

This is probably a well-known problem. Given a set or multiset of natural numbers let us construct its "Euclides" closure: on each step we take all possible products $P_i$ of the elements in the set, ...

Are prime gaps of even index essentially larger than those of odd index?

Let $g_{n}:=p_{n+1}-p_{n}$ be the $n$- th prime gap, and let's introduce the following summatory functions: $$G_{1}(x):=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}g_{2n-1}$$ $$G_{2}(x):=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}g_{2n}$$. Let's ...

The number of continuously increasing primes gaps in the interval $[2,n]$ is less than $\log n$

A prime gap is the difference between two successive prime numbers. The $n$-th prime gap, denoted gn or $g(p_n)$ is the difference between the $(n+1)$-st and the $n$-th prime numbers. Using my ...

Is the conjunction of Goldbach and NFPR conjecture actually equivalent to Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture?

In this previous question of mine I introduce under Goldbach's conjecture the notation $ r_{0}(n) : =\inf\{r\geq 0,(n-r,n+r)\in\mathbb{P}^{2}\} $ as well as the related so-called NFPR conjecture ...

Does data suggest $| \pi_2 (n) - 2\Pi \int_2^n \frac{dx}{\ln(x)^2} | < \ln(n+2)^2 \sqrt (n+2) $?

Let $\Pi$ be the twin prime constant and $\pi_2(n)$ the twin prime counting function. Define $$ t(n) = \left| \pi_2(n) - 2 \Pi \int_2^n \frac{dx}{\ln(x)^2} \right| $$ Is it consistent with current ...

Measuring philoprimality/misoprimality

Given a natural integer $x$, let $$\alpha(x)=(\log x)^2\sum_{p\in\mathcal P\setminus\{x\}}\frac{1}{(x-p)^2}$$ (with $\mathcal P$ denoting the set of prime-numbers) measure its "philoprimality&...

Is this conjecture equivalent to Polignac's conjecture?

Under Goldbach's conjecture denote by $r_{0}(n)$ for $n$ a large enough composite integer the quantity $\inf\{r\geq 0,(n-r,n+r)\in\mathbb{P}^{2}\}$, by $k_{0}(n)$ the quantity $\pi(n+r_{0}(n))-\pi(n-...

Do $k$ specific prime factors uniquely determine the continuous composite sequence of length $k$?

猜想:不存在两个长度为k且一共含有k个不同素因子的连续合数序列的素因子集合相等。例如 24 25 26 27 (2 3 5 13) 其余长度为4的连续合数序列要么素因子个数大于4 要么素因子集合不等于{2 3 5 13} 这个连续合数猜想的重大特定情况下的猜想。难度可与哥德巴赫猜想匹敌,非天才误入。再比如2 3 5 唯一决定了8 9 10 除此之外再无其他。总之经过计算机验证没有找到反例。 ...

$t$-balanced numbers

Disclaimer: throughout this question, we'll assume the truth of Goldbach's conjecture. For $n$ a large enough composite positive integer, write $r_{0}(n):=\inf\{r>0,(n-r,n+r)\in\mathbb{P}^{2}\}$, $...

Are the elements in the n-th row of the first matrix a permutation of the elements in the n-th row of the second matrix?

From my previous questions here and here the following two matrices arise for twin primes and cousin primes from Dirichlet convolution: For $h=2$ twin primes: $$T_2(n,m)=\sum\limits_{\substack{k=1 \\...

Remainder-balancedness of primes

Let $\mathbb{N}_+$ denote the set of positive integers. Consider the remainder function $\text{rem}:\mathbb{N}_+\times \mathbb{N}_+ \to \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$ defined by $$(n,d) \mapsto n - \Big(\Big\...

Is there a link between Elliott-Halberstam and weak Hardy-Littlewood-Goldbach conjectures?

Let $\theta$ be such that $EH(\theta)$ holds, where $EH$ stands for Elliott-Halberstam. Can one get an explicit lower bound $\delta_{\theta}$ for the quantity $\delta$ appearing in the weak Hardy-...

What about an alternative formulation for different prime constellations in the spirit of Suzuki's theorem for twin primes?

It is known that the twin prime conjecture is a special case of the $k$-tuple conjecture. See if you want the article with title k-Tuple Conjecture from the encyclopedia Wolfram MathWorld. On the ...
