 Semiprime Information
In mathematics, a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost prime, or pq number) is a natural number that is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers.
This is the square of the largest known prime number; the square of any prime number is semiprime, so the largest known semiprime will always be the square of the largest known prime, unless the factors of the semiprime are not known.
Semiprimes are highly useful in the area of cryptography and number theory, most notably in public key cryptography, where they are used by RSA and pseudo-random number generators such as Blum Blum Shub.

The value of Euler's totient function for a semiprime n = pq is particularly simple when p and q are distinct: The first thousand values of φ(n) In number theory, the totient (n) of a positive integer n is defined to be the number of positive integers less than or equal to n and coprime to n.

 DC MetaData for:A classification of semiprime segments
A semiprime segment of a ring $R$ is a pair $P_2 \subset P_1$ of semiprime ideals of $R$ such that $\bigcap I^n \subseteq P_2$ for all ideals $I$ of $R$ with $P_2 \subset I \subset P_1$.
In this paper semiprime segments with $P_1$ a comparizer ideal are classified as either simple, or exceptional, or archimedean, extending to several classes of rings a classification known for right chain rings.
These three types of semiprime segments are also characterized in terms of the pseudo-radical.

The approach he took involved a topic called sieve theory, and he managed to treat the twin prime conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture in similar manners.
Goldbachs conjecture is one of the oldest unsolved problems in number theory and in all of mathematics.

The main rationale for the use of such numbers is the inherent difficulty (at least presently) of integer factorization, especially as the size of the numbers increase.
Put simply, it's rather simple to see that 35 can be factored into the product of 5 and 7, but if you can factor this large semiprime, you win $200,000.

It is proved that every nonsingular essentially compressible module $M$ is isomorphic to a submodule of a free module, and the converse holds in case $R$ is semiprime right Goldie.
In case $R$ is a right FBN ring, $M$ is essentially compressible if and only if $M$ is subisomorphic to a direct sum of critical compressible modules.
It follows that a ring $R$ is semiprime right Goldie if and only if $R$ is a right essentially compressible ring with at least one uniform right ideal.

 Some Epimorphic Regular Contexts (ResearchIndex)
A von Neumann regular extension of a semiprime ring naturally defines a epimorphic extension in the category of rings.
These are studied, and four natural examples are considered, two in commutative ring theory, and two in rings of continuous functions.
Introduction In this note we study certain extensions of commutative semiprime rings which we call epimorphic regular contexts, or sometimes simply contexts.

I pestered him briefly, to explain what he meant by "interesting".
He never explained it, but all the while, I believed that I knew what he meant: An Interesting SemiPrime (ISP) is a number which - is the product of two primes; - one has a concise proof that it's the product of two primes; and - there is scant hope of finding a proper factor.
But the semiprime proof might reveal enough about N, that it can be factored.

Abstract: The article examines the role of Gabriel filters of ideals in the context of semiprime f--rings.
It is shown that for every 2--convex semiprime f--ring A and every multiplicative filter G of dense ideals the ring of quotients of A by G, namely the direct limit of the HomA(I;A) over all I 2 G, is an `--subring of QA, the maximum ring of quotients.

To give two examples of Chen primes: 41 is a Chen prime since 43 is also a prime, but 43 is itself not a Chen prime because 45 has one factor too many to be a semiprime; 47 is a Chen prime since 49, the square of a prime, is a semiprime.
