Connections between connected topological spaces on the set of positive integers

Paulina Szczuka (2013)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we introduce a connected topology T on the set ℕ of positive integers whose base consists of all arithmetic progressions connected in Golomb’s topology. It turns out that all arithmetic progressions which are connected in the topology T form a basis for Golomb’s topology. Further we examine connectedness of arithmetic progressions in the division topology T′ on ℕ which was defined by Rizza in 1993. Immediate consequences of these studies are results concerning local connectedness of...

Consecutive primes in tuples

William D. Banks, Tristan Freiberg, Caroline L. Turnage-Butterbaugh (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

In a stunning new advance towards the Prime k-Tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if k is sufficiently large in terms of m, then for an admissible k-tuple ( x ) = g x + h j j = 1 k of linear forms in ℤ[x], the set ( n ) = g n + h j j = 1 k contains at least m primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. In this note, we deduce that ( n ) = g n + h j j = 1 k contains at least m consecutive primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. We answer an old question of Erdős and Turán by producing strings of m + 1 consecutive primes whose successive gaps δ 1 , . . . , δ m form an increasing (resp....

Consecutive square-free values of the type x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1

Ya-Fang Feng (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that for any given integer k there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the type x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1 . We also establish an asymptotic formula for 1 x , y , z H such that x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1 are square-free. The method we used in this paper is due to Tolev.

Conservative polynomials and yet another action of Gal ( ¯ / ) on plane trees

Fedor Pakovich (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper we study an action D of the absolute Galois group Γ = Gal ( ¯ / ) on bicolored plane trees. In distinction with the similar action provided by the Grothendieck theory of “Dessins d’enfants” the action D is induced by the action of Γ on equivalence classes of conservative polynomials which are the simplest examples of postcritically finite rational functions. We establish some basic properties of the action D and compare it with the Grothendieck action.
