چکیده
This is a survey article on the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture about primes in quadratic progressions. We recount the history and quote some results approximating this hitherto unresolved conjecture. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 11L07, 11L20, 11L40, 11N13, 11N32, 11N37

Finiteness results for regular ternary quadratic polynomials
In 1924, Helmut Hasse established a local-to-global principle for representations of rational quadratic forms. Unfortunately, an analogous local-to-global principle does not hold for representations over the integers. A quadratic polynomial is called regular if such a principle exists; that is, if it represents all the integers which are represented locally by the polynomial itself over Zp for ...
متن کاملArtin prime producing polynomials
Abstract. We define an Artin prime for an integer g to be a prime such that g is a primitive root modulo that prime. Let g ∈ Z \ {−1} and not be a perfect square. A conjecture of Artin states that the set of Artin primes for g has a positive density. In this paper we study a generalization of this conjecture for the primes produced by a polynomial and explore its connection with the problem of ...
متن کاملOn the Error Term of the Logarithm of the Lcm of a Quadratic Sequence
We study the logarithm of the least common multiple of the sequence of integers given by 12 +1, 22 +1, . . . , n2 +1. Using a result of Homma [4] on the distribution of roots of quadratic polynomials modulo primes we calculate the error term for the asymptotics obtained by Cilleruelo [2].
متن کاملQuadratic polynomials producing consecutive, distinct primes and class groups of complex quadratic fields
1. Introduction. For centuries there has been a fascination with prime-producing quadratic polynomials. We will describe the relationship between such polynomials and class groups of complex quadratic fields with exponent 1 or 2. In Section 2, we set up the notation and preliminaries including a consequence of a result which we proved in [15], namely Theorem 2.3. We illustrate how all the conse...
متن کاملComputation of Irregular Primes up to Eight Million (preliminary Report)
We report on a joint project with Joe Buhler, Richard Crandall, Reijo Ernvall, and Tauno Metss ankyll a dealing with the computation of irregular primes and cyclo-tomic invariants for primes between four and eight million. This extends previous computations of Buhler et al. 4]. Our computation of the irregular primes is based on a new approach which has originated in the study of Stickelberger ...
