In this paper we show how the cross-disciplinary transfer of techniques from Dynamical Systems Theory to Number Theory can be a fruitful avenue for research. We illustrate this idea by exploring from a nonlinear and symbolic dynamics viewpoint certain patterns emerging in some residue sequences generated from the prime number sequence. We show that the sequence formed by the residues of the primes modulo $k$ are maximally chaotic and, while lacking forbidden patterns, display a non-trivial spectrum of Renyi entropies which suggest that every block of size $m>1$, while admissible, occurs with different probability. This non-uniform distribution of blocks for $m>1$ contrasts Dirichlets theorem that guarantees equiprobability for $m=1$. We then explore in a similar fashion the sequence of prime gap residues. This sequence is again chaotic (positivity of Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy), however chaos is weaker as we find forbidden patterns for every block of size $m>1$. We relate the onset of these forbidden patterns with the divisibility properties of integers, and estimate the densities of gap block residues via Hardy-Littlewood $k$-tuple conjecture. We use this estimation to argue that the amount of admissible blocks is non-uniformly distributed, what supports the fact that the spectrum of Renyi entropies is again non-trivial in this case. We complete our analysis by applying the Chaos Game to these symbolic sequences, and comparing the IFS attractors found for the experimental sequences with appropriate null models.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for post-critically finite polynomials to have potential good reduction at a given prime. We also answer in the negative a question posed by Silverman about conservative polynomials. Both proofs rely on dynamical Belyi polynomials as exemplars of PCF (resp. conservative) maps.
For a quadratic endomorphism of the affine line defined over the rationals, we consider the problem of bounding the number of rational points that eventually land at the origin after iteration. In the article ``Uniform Bounds on Pre-Images Under Quadratic Dynamical Systems, by two of the present authors and five others, it was shown that the number of rational iterated pre-images of the origin is bounded as one varies the morphism in a certain one-dimensional family. Subject to the validity of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and some other related conjectures for the L-series of a specific abelian variety and using a number of modern tools for locating rational points on high genus curves, we show that the maximum number of rational iterated pre-images is six. We also provide further insight into the geometry of the ``pre-image curves.
Let $Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, and let $[t]$ be the integral part of real number $t$. In this note, we prove that for any $varepsilon>0$ the asymptotic formula $$ sum_{nle x} LambdaBig(Big[frac{x}{n}Big]Big) = xsum_{dge 1} frac{Lambda(d)}{d(d+1)} + O_{varepsilon}big(x^{9/19+varepsilon}big) qquad (xtoinfty)$$ holds. This improves a recent result of Bordell`es, which requires $frac{97}{203}$ in place of $frac{9}{19}$.
Let $Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$. We show that for any bounded $fcolonmathbb{N}tomathbb{C}$ one has [ frac{1}{N}sum_{n=1}^N, f(Omega(n)+1)=frac{1}{N}sum_{n=1}^N, f(Omega(n))+mathrm{o}_{Ntoinfty}(1). ] This yields a new elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem.
The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(alpha^n x)^{}_{ninmathbb{N}}$, where $alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| alpha | > 1$ and $xinmathbb{R}$ is arbitrary. Such sequences appear in a multitude of situations including the spectral theory of inflation systems in aperiodic order. Due to the connection with uniform distribution theory, the results will mostly be metric in nature, which means that they hold for Lebesgue-almost every $xinmathbb{R}$.
