Normal numbers and the middle prime factor of an integer

Jean-Marie De Koninck, Imre Kátai (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let pₘ(n) stand for the middle prime factor of the integer n ≥ 2. We first establish that the size of log pₘ(n) is close to √(log n) for almost all n. We then show how one can use the successive values of pₘ(n) to generate a normal number in any given base D ≥ 2. Finally, we study the behavior of exponential sums involving the middle prime factor function.

On the class numbers of real cyclotomic fields of conductor pq

Eleni Agathocleous (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The class numbers h⁺ of the real cyclotomic fields are very hard to compute. Methods based on discriminant bounds become useless as the conductor of the field grows, and methods employing Leopoldt's decomposition of the class number become hard to use when the field extension is not cyclic of prime power. This is why other methods have been developed, which approach the problem from different angles. In this paper we extend one of these methods that was designed for real cyclotomic fields...
