Nuclei, Primes and the Random Matrix Connection
In this article, we discuss the remarkable connection between two very different fields, number theory and nuclear physics. We describe the essential aspects of these fields, the quantities studied, and how insights in one have been fruitfully applied in the other. The exciting branch of modern mathematics – random matrix theory – provides the connection between the two fields. We assume no det...
متن کاملOn the Connection between Narrowing and Proof by Consistency
We study the connection between narrowing and a method for proof by consistency due to Bachmair, and we show that narrowing and proof by consistency may be used to simulate each other. This allows for the migration of results between the two process descriptions. We obtain decidability results for validity of equations in the initial algebra from existing results on narrowing. Furthermore we sh...
متن کاملSmall Gaps between Primes or Almost Primes
Let pn denote the nth prime. Goldston, Pintz, and Yıldırım recently proved that lim inf n→∞ (pn+1 − pn) log pn = 0. We give an alternative proof of this result. We also prove some corresponding results for numbers with two prime factors. Let qn denote the nth number that is a product of exactly two distinct primes. We prove that lim inf n→∞ (qn+1 − qn) ≤ 26. If an appropriate generalization of ...
متن کاملConnection-based Proof Construction in Linear Logic Connection-based Proof Construction in Linear Logic
We present a matrix characterization of logical validity in the multiplicative fragment of linear logic. On this basis we develop a matrix-based proof search procedure for this fragment and a procedure which translates the machine-found proofs back into the usual sequent calculus for linear logic. Both procedures are straightforward extensions of methods which were developed for a uniform treat...
متن کاملBounded gaps between primes
It is proved that lim inf n→∞ (pn+1 − pn) < 7× 10, where pn is the n-th prime. Our method is a refinement of the recent work of Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim on the small gaps between consecutive primes. A major ingredient of the proof is a stronger version of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem that is applicable when the moduli are free from large prime divisors only (see Theorem 2 below), but it ...
