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.

Yes, (2) holds for all large enough $n$. According to Wikipedia (see also this question) $\frac{p_n}n=\log n+\log\log n-1+\frac{\log\log n}{\log n}(1+o(1))$, so $$\frac{n+p_{n+1}}{n+1}=\log(n+1)+\log\ …

Prime plus square equals prime

Tao and Ziegler extended the Green-Tao theorem to the polynomial setting. As a very special case we get that any subset of the primes with positive relative density contains a difference which is a sq …

Are the Beatty primes asymptotically (Gowers) uniform?

A result of Green and Tao (initially conditional on two conjectures which were eventually settled by them and Ziegler) states that for any $s\in\mathbb N$, $$\lim_{w\to\infty}\limsup_{N\to\infty}\sup_ …
