Abstract

Currently, among the open (unsolved) problems in number theory is the following: it is unknown what is the natural density of the sequence of Mersenne numbers in the set of natural numbers. In the paper, using methods of nonstandard mathematical analysis, we obtain the following equation: the natural density of Mersenne numbers (some infinitesimal value $e$) multiplied by the sum of the reciprocals of odd numbers (the infinitely large value ω = 1 + 1/3 + 1/5 + ...) is equal to 1, or the equality $e$ = 1/ω is true. In nonstandard analysis, the resulting infinitesimal numbers $e$ and 1/ω are considered equivalent. We obtained this result by working with a two-dimensional matrix of non-negative integers, where odd numbers are separated from even ones by the Pepis-Kalmar pairing function.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Real quadratic base changes for $\mathrm{GL}_3$ and integral periods relations

We prove a $p$-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q})$ and the periods of its Arthur-Clozel's base change to some real quadratic field $E$. This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and of Hida in the case of classical modular forms. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods, defined using the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$, instead of the top or bottom degrees. We also investigate the Rogawski's stable base change from the quasi-split unitary group $U_E$ associated with $E$ to $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$. In this situation, we also obtain some results toward a $p$-adic divisibility of automorphic periods.
