On the number of prime numbers between $n^2$ and ${(n+1)}^2$

Abstract

Let $p_{r+1}-1>n \geq p_r-1$, based on a sequence $\{1,2,3\cdots\ M_r(M_r=p_1p_2\cdots p_r)\}$, we compare the density of coprime numbers and establish a correlation between the proportions of coprime numbers in the ranges from 1 to consecutive square numbers. Then, we derive the relationship between the number of coprimes in the interval of $n^2 \sim {(n+1)}^2$ and the proportion of coprimes in the interval of $1 \sim n^2$, proving that there is at least one prime number between any $n^2$ and ${(n+1)}^2$. By extending our research to the range of $1 \sim M_r^2$, we establish the relationship between the proportions of backwards coprime numbers in the ranges from ${M_r}^2$ to consecutive square numbers; furthermore, we establish a relationship between the proportions of coprimes in small interval and the whole interval. Then, in conclusion, the number of coprimes between $n^2$ and ${(n+1)}^2$ is greater than $n\prod_{i=1}^{r}{(1-\frac{1}{p_i}})$, thus proving that there are at least 2 prime numbers between $n^2$ and ${(n+1)}^2$.

On the Pair Correlation of Zeros of $L$-Functions for Non-CM Newforms in Shifted Ranges

We study the pair correlation between zeros of a shifted auxiliary $ L $-function attached to a non-CM newform, the scale of which is a fixed constant. We prove an unconditional asymptotic result for the pair correlation and introduce a simplicity hypothesis for the zeros of this function, which if true means that multiple zeros of the original $ L $-function cannot be separated by the same fixed distance. Our results provide macroscopic information in contrast to the pair correlation of the original $ L $-function which is of microscopic nature.

Prime Solutions to a Binary Additive Equation and Mixed Moments of Character Sums

We obtain an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for counting the integer points $(a,b,c,d)$ in an expanding box that satisfy the determinant equation $x_1x_2-x_3x_4 =r$ for $r \neq 0 $ with two of entries to be prime. Finally, these estimates are applied to evaluate mixed fourth moments of Dirichlet character sums over integers and primes, yielding non-trivial bounds. The method involves the Poisson summation formula and the estimation for the average of the sums of the Kloosterman fractions over primes.

On properness of moduli stacks of $D^{\times}$-shtukas over ramified legs

Given a maximal order $\mathcal{D}$ of a central division algebra $D$ over a global function field $F$, we prove an explicit sufficient condition for moduli stacks of $\mathcal{D}^\times$-shtukas to be proper over a finite field (modulo a suitable central action) in terms of the \emph{local invariants} of $D$ and \emph{bounds}. Our proof is a refinement of E.~Lau's result (Duke Math. J. \textbf{140} (2007)), which showed the properness of the \emph{leg morphism} (or \emph{characteristic morphism}) away from the ramification locus of $D$. %, by carefully measuring the contribution of ``ramified legs''. We also establish non-emptiness of Newton and Kottwitz--Rapoport strata for moduli stacks of $\mathcal{B}^\times$-shtukas, where $\mathcal{B}$ is a maximal order of a central simple algebra over $F$.
