The distribution of $αp$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $α$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $ν>0$ one can establish the infinitude of primes $p$ satisfying $||αp||\le p^{-ν}$. The latest record in this regard is Kaisa Matomäki's landmark result $ν=1/3-\varepsilon$ which presents the limit of currently known technology. Recently, Glyn Harman, and, jointly, Marc Technau and the first-named author, investigated the same problem in the context of imaginary quadratic fields. Glyn Harman obtained an analog for $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ of his result in the context of $\mathbb{Q}$, which yields an exponent of $ν=7/22$. Marc Technau and the first-named author produced an analogue of Bob Vaughan's result $ν=1/4-\varepsilon$ for all imaginary quadratic number fields of class number 1. In the present article, we establish an analog of the last-mentioned result for real quadratic fields of class number 1 under a certain Diophantine restriction. This setting involves the additional complication of an infinite group of units in the ring of integers. Moreover, although the basic sieve approach remains the same (we use an ideal version of Harman's sieve), the problem takes a different flavor since it becomes truly 2-dimensional. We reduce it eventually to a counting problem which is, interestingly, related to roots of quadratic congruences. To approximate them, we use an approach by Christopher Hooley based on the theory of binary quadratic forms.
We investigate the distribution of $pθ$ modulo 1, where $θ$ is a complex number which is not contained in $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, and $p$ runs over the Gaussian primes.
Diophantine Inequalities as a Problem of Difference between Consecutive Primes
在本文中，我们已经开发了一种方法来解决\textit{diophantine inequalities}使用它们与\textit{difference between consecutive primes}的关系。使用这种方法，我们已经能够证明一些定理，包括英厄姆的指数定理以及一些新的结果。丢番图不等式及其与Cramer和Andrica不等式的关系也被讨论。
Given a finite set of primes $S$ and a $m$-tuple $(a_1,\dots,a_m)$ of positive, distinct integers we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine, if for each $1\leq i < j\leq m$ the quantity $a_ia_j+1$ has prime divisors coming only from the set $S$. For a given set $S$ we give a practical algorithm to find all $S$-Diophantine quadruples, provided that $|S|=3$.
Let $c$ be fixed with $1<c<35/34$. In this paper we prove that for every sufficiently large real number $N$ and a small constant $\varepsilon>0$, the diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} |p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c-N|<\varepsilon \end{equation*} is solvable in primes $p_1,\,p_2,\,p_3$ near to squares.
The inequalities concern the sum of s powers of primes with non-integer exponent c>1. Here s =2,3,4,or 5. The equations are similar, taking integer part before summing; here s = 3 or 5. New ranges of c are found in all cases for which many solutions in primes exist.
We study the problem of Diophantine approximation on lines in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with numerators and denominators restricted to Gaussian primes. To this end, we develop analogs of well-known results on small fractional parts of $pγ$, $p$ running over the primes and $γ$ being a fixed irrational, for Gaussian primes.
Let $[x]$ denote the integral part of the real number $x$, and $N$ be a sufficiently large integer. In this paper, it is proved that, for $1<c<\frac{4109054}{1999527}, c\not=2$, the Diophantine equation $N=[p_1^c]+[p_2^c]+[p_3^c]+[p_4^c]+[p_5^c]$ is solvable in prime variables $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4,p_5$.
Let $1<c<37/18,\,c\neq2$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, we prove that, for almost all $R\in(N,2N],$ the Diophantine inequality $|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c-R|<\log^{-1}N$ is solvable in primes $p_1,\,p_2,\,p_3.$ Moreover, we also investigate the problem of six primes and prove that the Diophantine inequality $|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c+p_5^c+p_6^c-N|<\log^{-1}N$ is solvable in primes $p_1,\,p_2,\,p_3,\,p_4,\,p_5,\,p_6$ for sufficiently large real number $N$.
We show that whenever $δ>0$, $η$ is real and constants $λ_i$ satisfy some necessary conditions, there are infinitely many prime triples $p_1,\, p_2,\, p_3$ satisfying the inequality $|λ_1p_1 + λ_2p_2 + λ_3p_3+η|<(\max p_j)^{-1/12+δ}$ and such that, for each $i\in\{1,2,3\}$, $p_i+2$ has at most $28$ prime factors.
Let $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that, for $1<c<\frac{1193}{889}$, the following Diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} \big|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c-N\big|<\log^{-1}N \end{equation*} is solvable in prime variables $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4$, which improves the result of Mu.
We consider the Diophantine inequality \[ \left| p_1^{c} + p_2^{c} + p_3^c- N \right| < (\log N)^{-E} , \] where $1 < c < \frac{15}{14}$, $N$ is a sufficiently large real number and $E>0$ is an arbitrarily large constant. We prove that the above inequality has a solution in primes $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$ such that each of the numbers $p_1 + 2, p_2 + 2, p_3 + 2$ has at most $\left[ \frac{369}{180 - 168 c} \right]$ prime factors, counted with the multiplicity.
Let $1<c<832/825$. For large real numbers $N>0$ and a small constant $\vartheta>0$, the inequality \begin{equation*} |p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c-N|<\vartheta \end{equation*} has a solution in prime numbers $p_1,\,p_2,\,p_3,\,p_4$ such that, for each $i\in\{1,2,3,4\}$, $p_i+2$ has at most $32$ prime factors.
Let $S$ be a set of primes. We call an $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ of distinct, positive integers $S$-Diophantine, if for all $i\neq j$ the integers $s_{i,j}:=a_ia_j+1$ have only prime divisors coming from the set $S$, i.e. if all $s_{i,j}$ are $S$-units. In this paper, we show that no $S$-Diophantine quadruple (i.e.~$m=4$) exists if $S=\{3,q\}$. Furthermore we show that for all pairs of primes $(p,q)$ with $p<q$ and $p\equiv 3\mod 4$ no $\{p,q\}$-Diophantine quadruples exist, provided that $(p,q)$ is not a Wieferich prime pair.
Let $\F$ be a family of $r$ integral forms of degree $k\geq 2$ and $\LL=(l_1,\ldots,l_m)$ be a family of pairwise linearly independent linear forms in $n$ variables $\x=(x_1,...,x_n)$. We study the number of solutions $\x\in[1,N]^n$ to the diophantine system $\F(\x)=\vv$ under the restriction that $l_i(\x)$ has a bounded number of prime factors for each $1\leq i\leq m$. We show that the system $\F$ have the expected number of such "almost prime" solutions under similar conditions as was established for existence of integer solutions by Birch.
Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a small constant. In the present paper we prove that whenever $η$ is real and constants $λ_i$ satisfy some necessary conditions, then there exist infinitely many prime triples $p_1,\, p_2,\, p_3$ satisfying the inequality \begin{equation*} |λ_1p_1 + λ_2p_2 + λ_3p_3+η|<\varepsilon \end{equation*} and such that $p_3=x^2 + y^2 +1$.
Let $F \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a homogeneous form of degree $d \geq 2$, and let $V_F^*$ denote the singular locus of the affine variety $V(F) = \{ \mathbf{z} \in {\mathbb{C}}^n: F(\mathbf{z}) = 0 \}$. In this paper, we prove the existence of integer solutions with prime coordinates to the equation $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0$ provided $F$ satisfies suitable local conditions and $n - \dim V_F^* \geq 2^8 3^4 5^2 d^3 (2d-1)^2 4^{d}$. Our result improves on what was known previously due to Cook and Magyar (B. Cook and A. Magyar, `Diophantine equations in the primes'. Invent. Math. 198 (2…
Let $1<c<\frac{26088036}{12301745},c\not=2$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that, for almost all $R\in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} \big|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c-R\big|<\log^{-1}N \end{equation*} is solvable in primes $p_1,p_2,p_3$. Moreover, we also prove that the following Diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} \big|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c+p_5^c+p_6^c-N\big|<\log^{-1}N \end{equation*} is solvable in prime variables $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4,p_5,p_6$, which improves the previous result $1<c<\frac{37}{18},c\neq2$.
We prove that there are infinitely many solutions of $$ |λ_0+λ_1p+λ_2P_r|<p^{-τ}, $$ where $r=3,$ $τ=\frac1{118}$, and $λ_0$ is an arbitrary real number and $λ_1,λ_2\in\BR$ with $λ_2\neq0$ and $0>\frac{λ_1}{λ_2}$ not in $\mathbb{Q}$. This improves a result by Harman. Moreover, we show that one can require the prime $p$ to be of the form $\floor{n^c}$ for some positive integer $n$, i.e. $p$ is a Piatetski-Shapiro prime, with $r=13$ and $τ=ρ(c),$ a constant explicitly determined by $c$ supported in $\left(1, 1+\frac1{149}\right].$
Let $[\,\cdot\,]$ be the floor function. In this paper we show that whenever $η$ is real, the constants $λ_i$ satisfy some necessary conditions, then for any fixed $1<c<38/37$ there exist infinitely many prime triples $p_1,\, p_2,\, p_3$ satisfying the inequality \begin{equation*} |λ_1p_1 + λ_2p_2 + λ_3p_3+η|<(\max p_j)^{{\frac{37c-38}{26c}}}(\log\max p_j)^{10} \end{equation*} and such that $p_i=[n_i^c]$, $i=1,\,2,\,3$.
In this paper, we determine the primitive solutions of the Diophantine equation $(x-d)^2+x^2+(x+d)^2=y^n$ when $n\geq 2$ and $d=p^b$, $p$ a prime and $p\leq 10^4$. The main ingredients are the characterization of primitive divisors on Lehmer sequences and the development of an algorithmic method of proving the non-existence of integer solutions of the equation $f(x)=a^b$, where $f(x)\in\mathbb Z[x]$, $a$ a positive integer and $b$ an arbitrary positive integer.
In the thirties of the last century, I. M. Vinogradov established uniform distribution modulo 1 of the sequence $pα$ when $α$ is a fixed irrational real number and $p$ runs over the primes. In particular, he showed that the inequality $||pα||\le p^{-1/5+\varepsilon}$ has infinitely prime solutions $p$, where $||.||$ denotes the distance to the nearest integer. This result has subsequently been improved by many authors. The current record is due to Matomäki (2009) who showed the infinitude of prime solutions of the inequality $||pα||\le p^{-1/3+\varepsilon}$. This exponent $1/3$ is considered t…
Let $\mathbb{Z}^{ab}$ be the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}^{ab}$, the maximal abelian extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that there exists an algorithm to decide whether a system of equations and inequations, with integer coefficients, has a solution in $\mathbb{Z}^{ab}$ modulo every rational prime.
Given $n\in N$ and $x,γ\in R$, let \begin{equation*} ||γ-nx||^\prime=\min\{|γ-nx+m|:m\in Z, \gcd (n,m)=1\}, \end{equation*} %where $(n,m)$ is the largest common divisor of $n$ and $m$. Two conjectures in the coprime inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation state that for any irrational number $α$ and almost every $γ\in R$, \begin{equation*} \liminf_{n\to \infty}n||γ-nα||^{\prime}=0 \end{equation*} and that there exists $C>0$, such that for all $α\in R\backslash Q$ and $γ\in [0,1)$ , \begin{equation*} \liminf_{n\to \infty}n||γ-nα||^{\prime} < C. \end{equation*} We prove the first conjecture and …
