Infinitude of primes using series introduced in Connes' paper on Wilson's theorem

200 Views Asked by At

Consider the following sum:

$$S(p)=\sum_{n=2}^p\sin^2\left(\frac{π\Gamma(n)}{2n}\right)$$

The summand is zero for non-primes, and finite and non-decreasing for primes

Question :

Is there any way we can prove infinitude of primes using above series ?

I tried to attack this problem in my previous questions . I just posted this separately new question (without stating any of my work) to start fresh and expecting new methods and views from users .

Any suggestions and comments are welcome .

Possible unified Applications: We can apply it to other primes of special forms whose Infinitude is unknown. (as Γ is nicely analytic):

$$S_2(p)=\sum_{n=2}^p\sin^2\left(\frac{π\Gamma(n)}{2n}\right)\sin^2\left(\frac{π\Gamma(n+2)}{2(n+2)}\right)$$
