Answer by José Hdz. Stgo. for Primes from a Dirichlet sequence and an...

It is well-known that not only does the arithmetic progression $\{ak+b\}_{k \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}}$ contain infinitely many prime numbers, but also that the series of the reciprocals of those primes...

Yes, it is irrational. This is because any finite digit sequence occurs as the initial digits of a prime in your sequence (in fact you can prescribe 41% of all the digits in the beginning), hence the...

Primes from a Dirichlet sequence and an irrational number

From Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions, if $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ we know $\{ak+b\}_{k\ge 0}$ contains infinitely many primes. Let those primes be $p_1,p_2,\cdots$. Then the real...
