TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the problem is solvable by n PI P2 where Pi, P2 are primes differing by the integer m. This is called the "Standard" solution of (*) and an m for which this is the only solution is called a "-number".

Abstract: Abtract. It is shown that the equation (*) (n 1)2 u(n)+(n) = m2 is always solvable by n PI P2 where Pi, P2 are primes differing by the integer m. This is called the "Standard" solution of (*) and an m for which this is the only solution is called a "-number". While there are an infinite number of non *-numbers there are many (almost certainly infinitely many) *-numbers, including m = 2 (the twin prime case). A procedure for calculating all non *-numbers less than a given bound L is devised and a table is given for L = 1000.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the various proofs of existence of infinitely many primes are not constructive and do not give an indication of how to determine the nth prime number.

A note on the mathematics of public-key cryptosystems
TL;DR: Several new number-theoretic results with theoretical connections to the area of so-called RSA public-key cryptosystems are presented, all of which have an independent mathematical interest of their own.
