The celebrated Green-Tao Theorem states that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the set of prime numbers. In fact, we show the Green-Tao Theorem for polynomial rings over integral domains with several variables. Using the Generalized Polynomial van der Waerden Theorem, we also prove that in an infinite unique factorization domain, if the cardinality of the set of units is strictly less than that of the domain, then there are infinitely many prime elements. Moreover, we deduce the infinitude of prime numbers in the positive integers using polynomial progressions of length three. In addition, using unit equations, we provide two more proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers. Finally, we give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of reciprocals of all prime numbers.Article Citation - WoS: 1Dedekind Harmonic Numbers(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2021) Altuntaş, Çağatay; Göral, HaydarFor any number field, we define Dedekind harmonic numbers with respect to this number field. First, we show that they are not integers except finitely many of them. Then, we present a uniform and an explicit version of this result for quadratic number fields. Moreover, by assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that the difference of two Dedekind harmonic numbers are not integers after a while if we have enough terms, and we prove the non-integrality of Dedekind harmonic numbers for quadratic number fields in another uniform way together with an asymptotic result.
