On Sums of Primes and Triangular

چکیده
We study whether sufficiently large integers can be written in the form cp+ Tx, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and Tx = x(x + 1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate whether there are infinitely many positive integers not of the form (2ap−r)/m+Tx with p a prime and x an integer. Besides two theorems, the paper also contains several conjectures together with related analysis and numerical data. One of our conjectures states that each natural number n 6= 216 can be written in the form p + Tx with x ∈ Z and p a prime or zero; another conjecture asserts that any odd integer n > 3 can be written in the form p + x(x + 1) with p a prime and x a positive integer.

On Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

In this paper we study integers of the form cp + Tx, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and Tx = x(x + 1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate integers of the form (2ap− r)/m+ Tx with p a prime. Several conjectures are raised with related analysis and numerical data; our main conjecture asserts that each natural number n 6= 216 can be written in the form p + Tx wit...
متن کاملOn Sums of Primes from Beatty Sequences
Ever since the days of Euler and Goldbach, number-theorists have been fascinated by additive representations of the integers as sums of primes. The most famous result in this field is I.M. Vinogradov’s three primes theorem [7], which states that every sufficiently large odd integer is the sum of three primes. Over the years, a number of authors have studied variants of the three primes theorem ...
متن کاملAlgebraic Trace Functions over the Primes
We study sums over primes of trace functions of `-adic sheaves. Using an extension of our earlier results on algebraic twist of modular forms to the case of Eisenstein series and bounds for Type II sums based on similar applications of the Riemann Hypothesis over finite fields, we prove general estimates with power-saving for such sums. We then derive various concrete applications.
متن کاملPolygonal Numbers
In the article the formal characterization of triangular numbers (famous from [15] and words “EYPHKA! num = ∆ + ∆ + ∆”) [17] is given. Our primary aim was to formalize one of the items (#42) from Wiedijk’s Top 100 Mathematical Theorems list [33], namely that the sequence of sums of reciprocals of triangular numbers converges to 2. This Mizar representation was written in 2007. As the Mizar lang...
