Primary : Number Theory (especially additive and combinatorial theory).
Secondary :
Combinatorics, (Discrete) Probability,
Algebra (esp. finite group theory)
Current Preprints (see also
here) :
1. Why should one expect to find long runs of (non)-Ramanujan primes ? January 21. PDF
N.B.: This is purely a discussion paper, I do not intend to submit it to a journal. I was asked to make it available, in order to hopefully stimulate further investigation of Ramanujan primes.
2. On m-covering families of Beatty sequences with irrational moduli.
August 11. PDF
