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.

Inert primes in arithmetic progression

This is not true in general. Take $K = \mathbb{Q}(i), a =3$ and $m = 4$. Then the density is just $1/2$ in this case. This is because a prime $p$ is inert in $K$ if and only if $p \equiv 3 \bmod 4$. S …

A variant on Wieferich primes

Recall that a Wieferich prime is a prime number $p$ such that $2^{p-1} \equiv 1 \bmod p^2.$ It is not known whether there are infinitely many Wieferich primes, nor whether there are infinitely many no …

"Inner product" between prime factorizations

Here is a high-brow way to interpret your construction. Recall that the ideles $\mathbb{A}^\times$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ are defined to be the restricted direct product of $\mathbb{R}^\times$ and all $\mat …

Is there a Chebotarev‘s theorem for non-Galois extension over Q?

Actually the usual Chebotarev density theorem in the Galois case can also be applied to the non-Galois case. For example, consider a non-Galois cubic extension $K=\mathbb{Q}[x]/(f)$. I claim that the …

Proving Mertens' theorem using the prime number theorem

Mertens' Theorem states that $$\sum_{p \leq x}\frac{1}{p} = \log \log x + M + O(1/\log x).$$ This is weaker than the prime number theorem; in fact according to the Wikipedia page, the prime number the …

Equidistribution of $\{\alpha p\}$ for $p$ in an arithmetic progression

Let $\alpha$ be irrational. A famous theorem of Vinogradov says that $\{ \alpha p\}$ is equidistributed in $[0,1]$ as $p$ runs over all primes. Let $a,q$ be natural numbers with $\gcd(a,q) = 1$. Then …
