Biases in the distribution of primes in short intervals

Tristan Freiberg

Assuming a suitably uniform Hardy--Littlewood prime tuples hypothesis, we obtain a second-order asymptotic for the proportion of short intervals containing a prescribed number of p…

A tyro's approach to the tilted sieve: beyond the Erdős--Rankin bound

Tristan Freiberg

We give an elementary exposition of the tilted sieve introduced by GPT-5.6~Sol \cite{GPT2026}, showing that one residue class modulo each prime $p \leq x$ can cover an interval of l…

Long runs of integers with small prime factors and the divisor function of $n!$

Tristan Freiberg

Let $d$ be the divisor function, and let $K (n)$ be the least positive integer $K$ for which $d ((n + K)!) \geq 2 d (n!)$ . Erdős, Graham, Ivić and Pomerance proved that, for infinitely…

Sparser variance for primes in arithmetic progression

Roger Baker, Tristan Freiberg

We obtain an analog of the Montgomery-Hooley asymptotic formula for the variance of the number of primes in arithmetic progressions. In the present paper the moduli are restricted…

Poisson distribution for gaps between sums of two squares and level spacings for toral point scatterers

Tristan Freiberg, Pär Kurlberg, Lior Rosenzweig

We investigate the level spacing distribution for the quantum spectrum of the square billiard. Extending work of Connors--Keating, and Smilansky, we formulate an analog of the Hard…

Limit points and long gaps between primes

Roger Baker, Tristan Freiberg

Let $d_{n} = p_{n + 1} - p_{n}$ , where $p_{n}$ denotes the $n$ th smallest prime, and let $R (T) = lo g T lo g_{2} T lo g_{4} T / (lo g_{3} T)^{2}$ (the "Erd{\H o}s--Rankin" function). We consider the…

Short intervals with a given number of primes

Tristan Freiberg

A well-known conjecture asserts that, for any given positive real number $λ$ and nonnegative integer $m$ , the proportion of positive integers $n \leq x$ for which the interval $(n,n…

Carmichael numbers and the sieve

William D. Banks, Tristan Freiberg

Using the sieve, we show that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers whose prime factors all have the form $p = 1 + a^{2} + b^{2}$ with $a, b \in Z$ .

A note on square totients

Tristan Freiberg, Carl Pomerance

A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of…

The average of the first invariant factor for reductions of CM elliptic curves mod $p$

Tristan Freiberg, Paul Pollack

Let $E / Q$ be a fixed elliptic curve. For each prime $p$ of good reduction, write $E (F_{p}) ≅ Z / d_{p} Z \oplus Z / e_{p} Z$ , where…

On limit points of the sequence of normalized prime gaps

William D. Banks, Tristan Freiberg, James Maynard

Let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$ th smallest prime number, and let $L$ denote the set of limit points of the sequence ${(p_{n + 1} - p_{n}) / lo g p_{n}}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ of normali…

A note on the theorem of Maynard and Tao

Tristan Freiberg

As a corollary to the recent extraordinary theorem of Maynard and Tao, we re-prove, in a stronger form, a result of Shiu concerning "strings" of consecutive, congruent primes.

Consecutive primes in tuples

William D. Banks, Tristan Freiberg, Caroline L. Turnage-Butterbaugh

In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$ -tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$ , then for an admissible $k$ -tuple $\mathcal…

Mertens's theorem for splitting primes and more

Mohammad Bardestani, Tristan Freiberg

Myriad articles are devoted to Mertens's theorem. In yet another, we merely wish to draw attention to a proof by Hardy, which uses a Tauberian theorem of Landau that "leads to the…

On the average exponent of elliptic curves modulo p

Tristan Freiberg, Pär Kurlberg

Given an elliptic curve E/Q and a prime p at which E has good reduction, let e_p be the exponent of the group E_p(F_p) of F_p-rational points on the reduction of E modulo p. Under…

Strings of congruent primes in short intervals II

Tristan Freiberg

Let $p_{1} = 2, p_{2} = 3, ...$ be the sequence of all primes. Let $ε$ be an arbitrarily small but fixed positive number, and fix a coprime pair of integers $q \geq 3$ and $a$ . We will e…

Products of shifted primes simultaneously taking perfect power values

Tristan Freiberg

Let $r \geq 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a finite, nonempty set of nonzero integers. We will obtain a lower bound for the number of squarefree integers $n$ , up to $x$ , for which…

Strings of congruent primes in short intervals

Tristan Freiberg

Fix ε> 0, and let p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3,... be the sequence of all primes. We prove that if (q,a) = 1 then there are infinitely many pairs p_r, p_{r+1} such that p_r \equiv p_{r+1} \equ…
