It was more to provide a hopefully new perspective on some existing problems in number theory.

Then nice try I guess, but there is nothing remotely new about any of this. You're not going to find a new perspective on something in math using a completely routine application of a well-known theorem. You'll need to either work really hard or come up with a genuinely new idea, and probably both.

I disagree. Math is all about applying well-known theorems to existing problems.
