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.

The Nth number with M prime factors

Hi. Suppose we arrange all natural numbers in a matrix P defined as follows: P[I][J] = The Jth number with I prime factors. So P looks something like: 1 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 …

A "Take a Square Root When You Can" conjecture related to the prime factorization

I would tend to think that the following has already been investigated. But as implied from the title, I have no idea how to even start looking for it. Let $P_n$ denote the sum of the squares of t …

Conjecture about a sequence of natural numbers, such that, $\forall n : A_n<P_n<A_{n+1}$

Conjecture - no natural number $k$ exists such that: $P$ is the sequence of all primes starting from the $k$th prime $A$ is a sequence of natural numbers such that: $\forall n : A_n<P_n<A_{n+1}$ $ …

What is the minimal range $[f(n),g(n)]$ that contains a prime number for every integer $n>0$?

I know the following: Proven: There is a prime number between $n$ and $2n$ for every integer $n>0$. Conjectured: There is a prime number between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$ for every integer $n>0$. My que …

Number of primes with $-1\pmod 6$ vs. Number of primes with $+1\pmod 6$

Have not been able to get an answer to this on http://math.stackexchange.com, so trying here too... Given the following two sets: $P^-(n) = \{p \leq n : p \equiv -1\pmod 6\}$ $P^+(n) = \{p \leq n …

Conjecture on prime numbers

Given a prime $p$, let $a_n=pn+n-1$. I have noticed that $\forall{p}\exists{n}\in[2,p]:a_n\in\mathbb{P}$. For example: $p=7,a_3=23,a_4=31,a_6=47$. What is this conjecture called, and has it been pr …

Conjecture on the square root of the sum of the squares of the prime factors of a number

Let $A_{n}$ denote the square root of the sum of the squares of the prime factors of $n$. For example, $A_{60}=\sqrt{2^2+2^2+3^2+5^2}\approx6.48$. I have recently made the following observations: …

Mersenne Prime Sequences

Hi. Given the following sequence (of Mersenne primes): $ A_{1} = 2 $ $ A_{n} = 2^{A_{n-1}} - 1 $ The first five elements are all prime numbers: $ 2 $ $ 2^{2}-1=3 $ $ 2^{3}-1=7 $ $ 2^{7}-1=127 …
