On the metric theory of continued fractions
The goal of this paper is to outline the proof of a conjecture of Gelfond [] (1968) in a recent work in collaboration with Christian Mauduit [] concerning the sum of digits of prime numbers, reflecting the lecture given in Edinburgh at the Journées Arithmétiques 2007.
For a large class of digital functions , we estimate the sums (and , where denotes the von Mangoldt function (and the Möbius function). We deduce from these estimates a Prime Number Theorem (and a Möbius randomness principle) for sequences of integers with digit properties including the Rudin-Shapiro sequence and some of its generalizations.
In a recent work we gave some estimations for exponential sums of the form , where Λ denotes the von Mangoldt function, f a digital function, and β a real parameter. The aim of this work is to show how these results can be used to study the statistical properties of digital functions along prime numbers.
The aim of this work is to estimate exponential sums of the form , where Λ denotes von Mangoldt’s function, f a digital function, and β ∈ ℝ a parameter. This result can be interpreted as a Prime Number Theorem for rotations (i.e. a Vinogradov type theorem) twisted by digital functions.
