Modifications of the Eratosthenes sieve

Jerzy Browkin, Hui-Qin Cao (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We discuss some cancellation algorithms such that the first non-cancelled number is a prime number p or a number of some specific type. We investigate which numbers in the interval (p,2p) are non-cancelled.

Multiplicative functions dictated by Artin symbols

Robert J. Lemke Oliver (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Granville and Soundararajan have recently suggested that a general study of multiplicative functions could form the basis of analytic number theory without zeros of L-functions; this is the so-called pretentious view of analytic number theory. Here we study multiplicative functions which arise from the arithmetic of number fields. For each finite Galois extension K/ℚ, we construct a natural class K of completely multiplicative functions whose values are dictated by Artin symbols, and we show that...

Natural divisors and the brownian motion

Eugenijus Manstavičius (1996)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

A model of the Brownian motion defined in terms of the natural divisors is proposed and weak convergence of the related measures in the space 𝐃 [0,1] is proved. An analogon of the Erdös arcsine law, known for the prime divisors [6] (see [14] for the proof), is obtained. These results together with the author’s investigation [15] extend the systematic study [9] of the distribution of natural divisors. Our approach is based upon the functional limit theorems of probability theory.
