A Structural Proof of the Evenness of All Perfect Numbers and the Exclusion of Odd Ones

Authors: Younghwan Yun
Comments: 7 Pages.

This paper presents a structural proof that any number satisfying the internal additive and multiplicative symmetries of a perfect number must be even. By decomposing the proper divisors of a perfect number into two ordered subsets, we derive a recursive system of proportional identities. We show that this system admits integer solutions only when all proportional coefficients equal one, thereby forcing the smallest divisor to be two. This structural condition excludes the possibility of odd perfect numbers under the proposed model. Our approach not only supports the longstanding conjecture that all perfect numbers are even but also provides a generalized framework thatmay extend to the analysis of semiperfect and abundant numbers.

Symmetry-Based Proof of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis

Authors: Younghwan Yun
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper presents a symmetry-based approach to the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, focusing on the structure of nontrivial zeros of the completed Dirichlet L-function. By examining the relationship between the functional equation and complex conjugation, the argument shows that each nontrivial zero implies the existence of a symmetrically paired zero. This pairing, when interpreted through a restricted application of the Schwarz Reflection Principle at the zero points, leads to the conclusion that all nontrivial zeros must lie on the critical line. The analysis is further extended to generalized cases, including product forms, which consistently reduce to the same critical line condition. This work therefore proposes a comprehensive and logically consistent framework that supports the truth of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.

Authors: Abdelmajid Ben Hadj Salem
Comments: 3 Pages.

In this paper, we assume that the explicit abc conjecture of Alan Baker (2004) is true, and prove that c smaller than rad^{2}(abc) is true; it is one of the keys to resolve the mystery of the abc conjecture.

Approaching Legendre’s Conjecture Within a Limited Boundary

Authors: Junho Eom
Comments: 14 Pages. 2 figures

This paper identified the characteristics of prime numbers within a limited boundary, defined primes between quadratic intervals, and generalized Legendre’s conjecture. Regarding the boundary, every integer less than m was defined as the 1st boundary and it expanded to the mth boundary within m^2. Thus, each boundary contained m elements. Except for 1, every integer produced a sine wave from the 1st boundary; as a result, only prime waves affected the remaining boundaries from the 2nd to mth by generating the composites and new primes (Series I). Therefore, the number of new primes in each boundary could not exceed PI(1st boundary) or PI(m), where PI(x) was the number of primes less than or equal to x, and it enabled the estimation of the total number of primes within m^2 (Series II). Based on Series I and II, the quadratic intervals between PI(m^2) and PI((m + 1)^2) were identical to the sum of the last two boundaries, expressed as 2·βm+1·PI(m), where βm+1 was the ratio of PI((m + 1)^2) to PI(m + 1)·(m + 1) (Series III). This led to the conclusion that Legendre’s conjecture satisfied while 0.8986·PI(P) < 2·βP·PI(P) < PI(P) (prime P > 113), or 2·βm+1·PI(m) ≤ 2·PI(m) (integer m ≥ 2).

The Final Proof of Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Khalid ibraheem Al-Ibraheem
Comments: 14 Pages.

Addressing the notorious difficulty of this problem, Richard Guy (1) once advised: "don’t try to solve these problems!"

In this paper we have performed the function to specific sets of odds C, D, and E:

C = ∑i=0b-1 4i + 2⋅4b⋅n | b ≥ 1, n ≥ 0, where f(C) = 1 + 6n

D = 3 + 4⋅n | n ≥ 0, where f(D) = 5 + 6n

E = 3 + 10⋅(∑i=0b-1 4i) + 4(b+1)⋅n | b ≥ 1, n ≥ 0, where f(E) = 5 + 6n

We subsequently prove that all integers return to 1 under the iteration of the Collatz function by analyzing the behavior of set V = 5 + 12n.

Lindemann-Weierstrass Theorem for Thakur Hyergeometric Functions

Authors: David Adam, Laurent Denis
Comments: 21 Pages. In French

n 1995, Thakur introduced analogues of hypergeometric functions for Fq [T ]. In this article, we show that the exceptional set of such a function is trivial. This confirms a conjecture stated by Thakur and his co-authors in 2008. Furthermore, we prove a Lindemann-Weierstrass-type theorem for an uncountable class of functions containing hypergeometric functions. The method used allows us to obtain the first transcendence measures (of quality comparable to that of characteristic 0) for values u200bu200bat algebraic arguments of these functions. Finally, in the last section, we exhibit the first infinite families of hypergeometric functions whose exceptional set can be shown to be trivial in the P-adic domain.

Proofs for Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Dawit Geinamo
Comments: 58 Pages. 58

The objective of this study is to present rigorous proofs for Collatz conjecture and introduce some interesting behavior of the Kaakuma sequence that is a vast generalized form of Collatz sequence. We analyze the behavior of Kaakuma sequence such as scaling up, scalingdown, translation, function iteration and uniform growth of inverse tree. In addition to this we investigate relationship of increasing rate, number of iterations of cycles, gap in cycles, and densities of cycles ofthe Kaakuma sequence and evaluate consistency of tree size density after scaling. Our investigation culminates in the formulation of a set of conjectures encompassing lemmas and postulates, which we rigorously prove using a combination of analytical reasoning, numerical evidence, and exhaustive case analysis. These results provide compelling evidence for the veracity of the Collatz conjecture and contribute to our understanding of the underlying mathematical structure.

Demonstration of the Goldbach's Strong Conjecture by the Analysis of Populations of Prime Numbers in the Interval [0 N] and [N 2N] by Conventional Statistical Laws

Authors: Bahbouhi Bouchaib
Comments: 11 Pages. The paper shows new data about Goldbach's strong conjecture

In this article I apply classical statistical laws to analyze prime numbers assimilated to populations. The statistical analysis focuses on prime numbers in the intervals [0 - S/2] and [S/2 — S] with S an even > 4. The results show that the even number S > 4 is enclosed by two populations of prime numbers P in the interval [0 - S/2] and Q in [S/2 - S] which have approximately the same standard deviation relative to their means. Two other subpopulations P' included in P and Q' included in Q which satisfy the Goldbach's strong conjecture (P' + Q' = S) also have the same standard deviation and superimpose or overlap. This result shows that an even number is enclosed by two populations P' and Q' of prime numbers which are symmetric with respect to S/2 and therefore S = P' + Q'. This result also shows that any natural number N > 4 is enclosed by at least two equidistant and symmetric prime numbers. Therefore for every N > 4 there exists a number t < N such that N — t = P' and N + t = Q' are primes and so 2N = P' + Q'.

Numerical Analysis of the Sequence of Prime Numbers

Authors: Mohamed Amine Boussadan
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references; Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

Abstract: Before starting to build the sequence and its topological steps, we decide the specific hypotheses that follow the pattern of prime numbers, which explain the complex gaps between prime numbers that appear random. This is done by using graphical networks (Descriptive and Euclidean Geometry). In order to study the properties that describe the distinctive nature of it, a geometric shape was transformed into a real rectangle surrounded by a circle because of no verification of the condition of a triangle which makes them straight line that grows regularly according to a vector function, whichresulted in knowing some linear relationships between variables.

Irrefutable Proof of the Invalidity of Galois Theory

Authors: Ahcene Ait Saadi
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this article, I demonstrate the resolution of the 5th degree equation, with algebraic radicals. I contradict Galois theory. In my demonstration, I use two invariant polynomials of degrees 8 and 6, wich I discovered*. After identification, I cancel the coefficients 7, 5 and 3 in the polynomial of degree 8 and the coefficient of degree 5 and 3, in the polynomial of degree 6. For the coefficient of degree 1, I make a combination between the polynomials of degree 8 and 6 to eliminate it. Finally I find an equation of degree 8 bisquare that I can solve. By solving the system of equations, of variables m and p, which are the coefficients of the powers 5 and 3, I’m forced to involve the equation of degree 5. That allows me to eliminate the coefficient of degree 3 from the equation of degree 8, I realise that I can find the solutions of the equation of degree 5 with a free variable. The solutions of an equation with a free variable, I have already done this with the equation of degree 2, that I discovered.

Prime Spectrum Model: Mapping Riemann Zeta Zeros to Prime Logarithms via Signal Processing

Authors: Trinh Tung Lam
Comments: 5 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

The Prime Spectrum Model investigates the connection between the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the distribution of prime numbers using spectral analysis. A wave function is constructed from 40,000 zeros and analyzed using Fourier Transform and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). Detected frequency peaks align with the natural logarithms of prime numbers, achieving RMSE = 0.0600 and Spearman correlation ≈ 1.0. The model successfully identifies the first 50 primes and extrapolates to higher ones. This work offers insights into the Riemann Hypothesis and opens applications in physics, signal processing, and complexity theory.

Empirical Analysis of Twin Prime Variance: How Normalization Artifacts Mimic Anomalous Scaling.

Authors: Bube Ibekwe
Comments: 6 Pages.

This paper investigates the variance of transformed twin primes, where each prime pair (p, p+2) is mapped to k = (p+1)/6. Initial analysis suggested unexpected growth patterns in the normalized variance, seemingly contradicting theoretical expectations. Through large-scale computation of twin primes up to one billion, we demonstrate that these apparent anomalies arise from normalization artifacts. The true variance follows a quadratic growth pattern, with our empirical results closely matching predicted scaling behavior. We resolve the paradox by showing how the sparse distribution of twin primes distorts normalized statistical measures. Our findings highlight critical pitfalls in analyzing prime distributions and provide new insights into the statistical behavior of twin primes.

This paper proposes a new number theory method (comb method) to prove the unending existence of prime twins. the set of natural numbers is viewed as a union of two sets that don’t intersect s-element sets and h-element sets, these elements are selected by a series of combs. By analyzing the distribution of these elements, we get our result.

Symbolic Collapse Grammar and the Convergence of the Collatz Function

Authors: Travis Shane Taylor
Comments: 14 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

We propose a symbolic gateword encoding of the Collatz transformation, demonstrating that all positive integers reduce to the fixed point 1 via finite symbolic collapse. By reformulating the Collatz function as a compressible grammar and defining collapse as a symbolic entropy-reduction process, we offer a constructive resolution to the conjecture and frame it as a computational attractor with implications for number theory, complexity, and information physics.

Last Base Mathematics: A Constructible Radial Framework for Number Representation and Compression

Authors: Benjamin Xavier Last
Comments: 13 Pages. bxlast@hotmail.com

This paper introduces Last Base Mathematics (LxB), a novel numerical and geometrical framework based on an alternating base system rooted in base-12 with a secondary recursive base, commonly base-5. LxB minimizes symbolic footprint by employing radial, modular divisions to represent numbers through layered circular structures, maintaining internal coherence without requiring decimal expansion. We formalize the arithmetic operations intrinsic to LxB, including native addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division rules respecting alternating bases. The system's applications are explored in the contexts of timekeeping, music theory, geometric compression, simulation, and data storage. Future research avenues include potential applications to harmonic measurement models, modular computation, and quantum phase structures. This work positions LxB as a compact, constructible alternative to linear base systems, suitable for both theoretical exploration and practical modeling.

Digital Root Patterns in Prime K-Tuples: a Study of Hidden Order in Prime Distribution

Authors: Halaoui Ayyoub
Comments: 3 Pages.

This paper investigates the non-random digital root patterns observed in prime k-tuples (e.g., twin primes, prime triplets). By analyzing over 10u2078 primes from the Twin Prime Database and OEIS, we demonstrate a statistically significant bias toward specific digital root sequences (e.g., (8,1) for twins, (5,7,2) for triplets) with frequencies up to 3.5× higher than random expectation. We explain these patterns using modular arithmetic in Z/9Z and sieve theory, while proving that constraints on prime divisibility limit the maximum k-tuple length to 7 primes. This study bridges computational evidence with theoretical number theory, suggesting that primes exhibit quasirandom behavior with deep underlying structure.

Proof of Riemann Hypothesis

Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture that states that all non trivial zeros of Riemann function are located on critical strip exactly on 1/2.This conjecture has been unsolved for over 160 years.

In this proof , I will generalize this formula for any S , hence S is a complex number Z(S) + Z(-S) = Π 2/6. You will find many other formulas and theorems that justify and prove Riemann hypothesis conjecture.

The Prime-Structured Universe

Authors: Roberto C. M. Navacchia
Comments: 14 Pages. In Portuguese

The distribution of prime numbers has long intrigued mathematicians, revealing deepstructural patterns within mathematics. This study expands upon Gauss's Circle andGoldbach’s Theorem, focusing on the interaction between prime pairs rather than all naturalnumbers. Through mathematical modeling, persistent gaps within Gauss’s Circle wereidentified, suggesting that it represents the internal structure of the universe, while Goldbach’s prime-counting graph unveils the external structure, formed exclusively by primes. By leveraging Computational Modeling, this work explores these patterns in greater depth, revealing potential underlying rules governing prime distribution. The findings suggest that prime numbers may not only be fundamental to number theory but could also serve as the structural foundation of the universe itself.

Algebraic and Geometric Representation of Goldbach Partitions in the Complex Plane

Authors: Samuel Bonaya Buya
Comments: 37 Pages.

This paper presents a unified algebraic, geometric, and analytic framework that redefines thestructure of integers, vectors, and analytic functions through complex conjugate decompositions. Starting from the Goldbach partition of even integers, we provide a constructive and bounded proof of the Binary Goldbach Conjecture using prime gap estimates and Bertrand’s Postulate. We further extend Goldbach partitions to complex product representations, unveiling new symmetries and identities in prime pairings.The paper introduces geometric decompositions of primes and semiprimes, enabling their visualization in Euclidean and topological spaces. We explore applications to the Riemann zeta function by deriving complex root factorizations that suggest a novel lens for interpreting nontrivial zeros.In addition to these foundations, the paper offers resolved formulations of three major number theoryconjectures: (1) a short proof of Beal’s Conjecture by analyzing power-sum decompositions under coprimality and exponent constraints, (2) a conclusive proof of the abc Conjecture through radical-logarithmic identities without relying on conjectural bounds, and (3) a completed proof of Andrica’s Conjecture via logarithmic root gap bounding techniques. These results are derived from a coherent harmonic-logarithmic framework,unifying additive and multiplicative aspects of number theory. Together, these contributions bridge number theory, algebraic topology, mathematical physics, and symbolic computation—offering new tools for understanding prime distributions, factorization, and analytic continuation.

Contribution to the Resolution of the Twin Prime Conjecture

Authors: Patrick Guiffra
Comments: 11 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

This paper presents a novel geometric and analytical framework aimed at addressing the Twin Prime Conjecture, asserting the existence of infinitely many pairs of prime numbers differing by 2, such as (3, 5) and (11, 13).We project prime numbers onto a unit circle, with angles derived from the imaginary parts of the first 100 non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, defined as θpi = 2π P100n=1 sin(γn ln(pi)) γn mod 2π. By rotating this circle over 100 iterations and generating a binary sequence S(tk) based on a marking interval [0, π 2 , we identify a recurring pattern, "011," with a periodicity of 4 iterations. Numerical simulations across scales up to N = 1024 support this observation,while a formal variance-based contradiction proof argues that this 1 recurrence implies the infinitude of twin primes. A spectral analysis further validates the periodicity, and refined assumptions on the zeta zeros strengthen the theoretical foundation. This work diverges from traditional analytic methods, offering a geometric perspective that emphasizes the need for analytical rigor over numerical scaling.

A Structural Proof Approach to the Twin Prime Conjecture

Authors: Younghwan Yun
Comments: 13 Pages.

The Twin Prime Conjecture asserts the infinitude of prime pairs (p,p + 2). While recent breakthroughs by Zhang, Maynard, and Tao have demonstrated the infinite occurrence of bounded prime gaps, they fall short of resolving the specific case of gap 2. This paper proposes a structural framework that directly addresses the twin prime case through a modular, sieve-based approach. We demonstrate that twin prime candidates of the form (6k − 1,6k + 1) persist indefinitely under periodic sieving, supported by the inclusion-exclusion principle and recursive inductive logic derived from Bertrand’s Postulate. Unlike probabilistic or density-based methods, our approach emphasizes logical irreducibility and structural necessity. We formalize this persistence through a series of lemmas and prove that no finite sieve can entirely eliminate such candidates. Computational tests up to 109 confirm the validity of the inductive conditions not only for the canonical gap k = 2 but also for larger even gaps k = 4,6,8,10, supporting a generalization aligned with Polignac’s Conjecture. These findings suggest that twin primes, and more broadly even-gapped prime pairs, are an inevitable outcome of arithmetic structure rather than statistical anomaly.

A Structural Proof of the Goldbach Conjecture via Factor Elimination and Prime Complement Analysis

Authors: Younghwan Yun
Comments: 14 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

We propose a structural and combinatorial proof of the Goldbach Conjecture, asserting that every even integer greater than two can be written as the sum of two primes. The approach introduces a dual-layer framework. First, we quantify the number of composite pairs that could obstruct the formation of valid Goldbach partitions by systematically classifying and eliminating non-prime candidates arising from non-divisor prime multiplicities. This quantitative asymmetry reveals that the available prime candidates on the complementary side of the partition always outnumber the obstructive composites. Second, we introduce a structural decomposition that constructs prime complements from non-divisor primes and rigorously shows that these complements cannot be fully covered by composite multiples of the base primes. As a result, at least one uncovered and irreducible complement must be a prime, guaranteeing the existence of a valid prime pair. This hybrid method bridges enumerative and structural perspectives, providing an elementary yet rigorous proof route that avoids traditional analytic machinery and reveals inherent prime-generating asymmetries within the even number structure.

A Structural Proof of the Collatz Conjecture Via Non-Repeating Trajectory and Recursive Decay

Authors: Younghwan Yun
Comments: 11 Pages.

We present a structural proof of the Collatz conjecture by rigorously analyz-ing the recursive mapping of odd integers. By introducing a compressed recursive functionthat directly connects successive odd values, we prove that the trajectory of the sequenceis globally non-repeating within the constrained domain. We establish that no nontrivialcycles exist through a minimal element argument, and reinforce convergence through nonlin-ear divergence properties and the Pigeonhole Principle. Consequently, every sequence mustinevitably intersect the canonical cycle (1 → 4 → 2 → 1), thus conclusively demonstratingthe validity of the Collatz conjecture under the defined structural framework.

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis

Comments: 13 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

This paper presents an intuitive method for proving the Riemann Hypothesis. It begins by deriving the relationship equation at the zeros of the Riemann zeta function from Riemann’s functional equation. This equation follows the Schwarz reflection principle, indicating that the zeros of the zeta function are restricted to the line with a real part of 1/2 in the complex plane. Furthermore, using the Schwarz reflection principle, it concludes that zeros cannot exist outside the critical line. Therefore, the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

Relationship Between Even and Prime Numbers and Implications on the Goldbach Conjecture

Authors: Samuel Bonaya Buya
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: For the last time, please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

We propose a functional relationship between even and prime numbers that serves as thefoundation for a formal inductive proof framework for the Binary Goldbach Conjecture. This approach is grounded in the principle of prime interval stability, whereby even numbers are represented as functions of pairs of primes constrained within specific intervals. The derived expressions support the conjecture by systematically generating valid Goldbach partitions and establishing inductive continuity in prime pair generation for all even integers greater than two.
