چکیده

Suppose P is a set of primes, such that for every p ∈ P , every prime factor of p − 1 is also in P . We apply a new sieve method to show that either P contains all of the primes or the counting function of P is O(x) for some c > 0, where c depends only on the smallest prime not in P . Our proof makes use of results connected with Artin’s primitive root conjecture.

Asymptotic behaviour of associated primes of monomial ideals with combinatorial applications

Let  $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. We say that $I$ satisfies the persistence property if  $mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I^k)subseteq mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I^{k+1})$ for all positive integers $kgeq 1$, which $mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I)$ denotes the set of associated prime ideals of $I$. In this paper, we introduce a class of square-free monomial ideals in the polynomial ring  $R=K[x_1,ld...

When the Sieve Works

We are interested in classifying those sets of primes P such that when we sieve out the integers up to x by the primes in P we are left with roughly the expected number of unsieved integers. In particular, we obtain the first general results for sieving an interval of length x with primes including some in ( √ x, x], using methods motivated by additive combinatorics.

On the Associated Primes of the generalized $d$-Local Cohomology Modules

The first part of the paper is concerned to relationship between the sets of associated primes of the generalized $d$-local cohomology modules and the ordinary  generalized local cohomology  modules.  Assume that $R$ is a commutative Noetherian local ring, $M$ and $N$  are  finitely generated  $R$-modules and $d, t$ are two integers. We prove that $Ass H^t_d(M,N)=bigcup_{Iin Phi} Ass H^t_I(M,N)...

A note on efficient implementation of prime generation algorithms in small portable devices

This paper investigates existing prime generation algorithms on small portable devices, makes optimizations and compares their efficiencies. It shows by comparing the performances that the bit array algorithm is the most efficient among all the existing prime generation algorithms. The paper further optimizes the implementation of the bit array algorithm by using an optimal parameter in the pri...

ON THE SPECTRUM OF DERANGEMENT GRAPHS OF ORDER A PRODUCT OF THREE PRIMES

A permutation with no fixed points is called a derangement.The subset $mathcal{D}$ of a permutation group is derangement if all elements of $mathcal{D}$ are derangement.Let $G$ be a permutation group, a derangementgraph is one with vertex set $G$ and derangement set $mathcal{D}$ as connecting set. In this paper, we determine the spectrum of derangement graphs of order a product of three primes.
