On the distribution of Hawkins’ random “primes”

Tanguy Rivoal (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Hawkins introduced a probabilistic version of Erathosthenes’ sieve and studied the associated sequence of random “primes” ( p k ) k 1 . Using various probabilistic techniques, many authors have obtained sharp results concerning these random “primes”, which are often in agreement with certain classical theorems or conjectures for prime numbers. In this paper, we prove that the number of integers k n such that p k + α - p k = α is almost surely equivalent to n / log ( n ) α , for a given fixed integer α 1 . This is a particular case of a recent...

On the distribution of p α modulo one

Xiaodong Cao, Wenguang Zhai (1999)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper, we give a new upper-bound for the discrepancy D ( N ) : = sup 0 γ 0 | p / N p α γ 1 - π ( N ) γ | for the sequence ( p α ) , when 5 / 3 α > 3 and α 2 .
