    Abstract

    The problem of the least prime number in an arithmetic progression is one of
    most important topics in Number Theory. In [11], we are the first to study the
    relations between this problem and Goldbach's conjecture. In this paper, we
    further consider its applications to Goldbach's conjecture and refine the
    result in [11]. From our work, one will see that the problem of the least prime
    number in an arithmetic progression is more significative than Goldbach's
    conjecture, more precisely, the weakened form of Chowla's hypothesis will
    implies Goldbach's conjecture.

  2. Dickson's conjecture on $Z^n$--An equivalent form of Green-Tao's conjecture.

    Authors: Shaohua Zhang
    Subjects: General Mathematics
    Abstract

    In [1], we give Dickson's conjecture on $N^n$. In this paper, we further give
    Dickson's conjecture on $Z^n$ and obtain an equivalent form of Green-Tao's
    conjecture [2]. Based on our work, it is possible to establish a general theory
    that several multivariable integral polynomials on $Z^n$ represent
    simultaneously prime numbers for infinitely many integral points and generalize
    the analogy of Chinese Remainder Theorem in [3].

  3. On the Infinitude of Some Special Kinds of Primes.

    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to try to establish a generic model for the problem
    that several multivariable number-theoretic functions represent simultaneously
    primes for infinitely many integral points. More concretely, we introduced
    briefly the research background-the history and current situation-from Euclid's
    second theorem to Green-Tao theorem.

  4. Goldbach conjecture and the least prime number in an arithmetic progression.

    Authors: Shaohua Zhang
    Subjects: General Mathematics
    Abstract

    In this paper, we try to study the relations between Goldbach Conjecture and
    the least prime number in an arithmetic progression. We give a new weakened
    form of Goldbach Conjecture. We prove that this weakened form and a weakened
    form of Chowla Hypothesis imply that every sufficiently large even integer may
    be written as the sum of two distinct primes.

  5. The concept of primes and the algorithm for counting the greatest common divisor in Ancient China.

    Authors: Shaohua Zhang
    Subjects: History and Overview
    Abstract

    When people mention the number theoretical achievements in Ancient China, the
    famous Chinese Remainder Theorem always springs to mind. But, two more of
    them--the concept of primes and the algorithm for counting the greatest common
    divisor, are rarely spoken. Some scholars even think that Ancient China has not
    the concept of primes. The aim of this paper is to show that the concept of
    primes in Ancient China can be traced back to the time of Confuciusor (about
    500 B.C.) or more ago.

  6. W Sequences and the Distribution of Primes in Short Interval.

    Authors: Shaohua Zhang
    Subjects: General Mathematics
    Abstract

    Based on Euclid's algorithm, we find a kind of special sequences which play
    an interesting role in the study of primes. We call them W Sequences. They not
    only ties up the distribution of primes in short interval but also enables us
    to give new weakened forms of many classical problems in Number Theory. The
    object of this paper is to provide a brief introduction and preliminary
    analysis on this kind of special sequences.

    Subjects: General Mathematics
    Abstract

    The object of this paper is to generalize a theorem on the binomial
    coefficient [4] to the case in an arithmetic progression. We will also give a
    slightly stronger result than Langevin's [2].

  10. Generalizations of an Ancient Greek Inequality about the Sequence of Primes.

    Abstract

    In this note, we generalize an ancient Greek inequality about the sequence of
    primes to the cases of arithmetic progressions even multivariable polynomials
    with integral coefficients. We also refine Bouniakowsky's conjecture [16] and
    Conjecture 2 in [22]. Moreover, we give two remarks on conjectures in [22]

    Bonse-type inequalities.
