On integers not of the form n - φ (n)

J. Browkin, A. Schinzel (1995)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

W. Sierpiński asked in 1959 (see [4], pp. 200-201, cf. [2]) whether there exist infinitely many positive integers not of the form n - φ(n), where φ is the Euler function. We answer this question in the affirmative by proving Theorem. None of the numbers 2 k · 509203 (k = 1, 2,...) is of the form n - φ(n).

Simple proofs of some generalizations of the Wilson’s theorem

Jan Górowski, Adam Łomnicki (2014)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper a remarkable simple proof of the Gauss’s generalization of the Wilson’s theorem is given. The proof is based on properties of a subgroup generated by element of order 2 of a finite abelian group. Some conditions equivalent to the cyclicity of (Φ(n), ·n), where n > 2 is an integer are presented, in particular, a condition for the existence of the unique element of order 2 in such a group.

Modified proof of a local analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture

Victor Abrashkin (2010)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

A local analogue of the Grothendieck Conjecture is an equivalence between the category of complete discrete valuation fields K with finite residue fields of characteristic p 0 and the category of absolute Galois groups of fields K together with their ramification filtrations. The case of characteristic 0 fields K was studied by Mochizuki several years ago. Then the author of this paper proved it by a different method in the case p > 2 (but with no restrictions on the characteristic of K )....
