The branch of mathematics studying the integers and their generalizations, including prime numbers, zeta and L-functions, Diophantine problems, and arithmetic geometry. Claims about conjectures, theorems, and open problems in this area belong here; claims in analysis, algebra, or geometry that do not concern arithmetic belong elsewhere.

The level of distribution of the primes is known to be at least one half.
