Averaged forms of two conjectures of Erdős and Pomerance, and their applications

Y Jiang, G Lü, Z Wang - Advances in Mathematics, 2022 - Elsevier
Let P+(n) denote the largest prime factor of an integer n. In this paper, we study the
asymptotics of sums∑ p⩽ x P+(p+ h)⩽ y 1 and∑ n⩽ x, P+(n)⩽ y 1 P+(n+ h)⩽ y 2 1 for x ε⩽ y …

Prime chains and Pratt trees

K Ford, SV Konyagin, F Luca - Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2010 - Springer
Prime chains are sequences p_ 1, ..., p_ k of primes for which p_ j+ 1 ≡ 1 (mod pj) for each j.
We introduce three new methods for counting long prime chains. The first is used to show …

Ramanujan-style congruences for prime level

A Kumar, M Kumari, P Moree, SK Singh - Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2023 - Springer
We establish Ramanujan-style congruences modulo certain primes ℓ between an Eisenstein
series of weight k, prime level p and a cuspidal newform in the ε-eigenspace of the Atkin …

On the iterates of the shifted Euler's function

P Leonetti, F Luca - Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society, 2024 - cambridge.org
Abstract Let $\varphi $ be Euler's function and fix an integer $ k\ge 0$. We show that for
every initial value $ x_1\ge 1$, the sequence of positive integers $(x_n) _ {n\ge 1} $ defined …

The number of preimages of iterates of ϕ and σ

A Akande - Journal of Number Theory, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract Paul Erdos and Carl Pomerance have proofs on an asymptotic upper bound on the
number of preimages of Euler's totient function ϕ and the sum-of-divisors functions σ. In this …

On the Equation axx (mod b)

J Germain - 2009 - degruyter.com
Abstract Recently Jiménez-Urroz and Yebra [On the Equation ax≡ x (mod bn)] constructed,
for any given a and b, solutions x to the title equation. Moreover they showed how these can …

The reciprocal sum of divisors of Mersenne numbers

Z Engberg, P Pollack - arXiv preprint arXiv:2006.02373, 2020 - arxiv.org
We investigate various questions concerning the reciprocal sum of divisors, or prime
divisors, of the Mersenne numbers $2^ n-1$. Conditional on the Elliott-Halberstam …
