Questions where prime numbers play a key-role, such as: questions on the distribution of prime numbers (twin primes, gaps between primes, Hardy–Littlewood conjectures, etc); questions on prime numbers with special properties (Wieferich prime, Wolstenholme prime, etc.). This tag is often used as a specialized tag in combination with the top-level tag nt.number-theory and (if applicable) analytic-number-theory.

Primes of the form a^2+1

Hi Franz, Unfortunately I doubt this Euler product has very good behavior. If you believe the Hardy-Littlewood conjectures, then $\sum_{n\leq X}\Lambda(n^2+1) \sim cX$ where $c=\prod_{p>2}(1-\chi_{ …

Reference for the expected number of prime factors of n larger than n^alpha is -log alpha

I believe you can extract this from a paper of Andrew Granville, "Prime divisors are Poisson distributed". There is an electronic copy of this on his website.

Is the Green-Tao theorem true for primes within a given arithmetic progression?

The Green-Tao is true for any subset of the primes of positive relative density; the primes in a fixed arithmetic progression to modulus $d$ have relative density $1/\phi(d)$.

Asymptotics for the number of ways to sum primes such that the sum is <= n

If $T(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ into sums of primes, then $T(n) = \exp{((\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}+o(1))\sqrt{\frac{n}{\log{n}}})}$. See e.g. page 260 of the AMS-Chelsea edition of …
