Nontrivial nonrandom properties of prime numbers

What are some nontrivial nonrandom properties of prime numbers. Consider the simple model where each number is prime with probability 1/log(n) by Montgomery and extensions of it. Once you add some ...

An approach to the prime number theorem with Rademacher variables and a recursive formula for the prime pi function?

Consider the bipartite graphs defined here: Why is this bipartite graph a partial cube, if it is? We do random walks on them with equal propability and since the graphs are finite and connected the ...

Is $\lim_{s \rightarrow 1} E(f(X_s)) = \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{k=1}^N f(k)$?

Let $s>1$ be a real number. We look at the zeta probability function / Zipf probability function defined as: $$P(X = n) = \frac{1}{n^s \zeta(s)}$$ Suppose $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is ...

Probability that randomly chosen integers from a restricted set of natural numbers are coprime

We know that the probability $P(k)$ of $k$ randomly chosen integers $(k \ge 2)$ from the set of natural number are coprime is $$ P(k) = \frac{1}{\zeta(k)}. $$ I am looking at a special case of ...
