Topics in analytic number theory

Abstract:

In this thesis we prove several results in analytic number theory.

1. We show that there exist 3-digit palindromic primes in base b for a set of b having density 1 and that if b is sufficiently large then there is a $3$-digit palindrome in base b having precisely two prime factors.

2. We prove various estimates for averages of sums of Kloosterman fractions over primes. The first of these improves previous results of Fouvry-Shparlinski a...
