## Abstract

We study the convergence of the parameter family of series $$V_{\alpha,\beta}(t)=\sum_{p}p^{-\alpha}\exp(2\pi i p^{\beta}t),\quad \alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}_{>0},\; t \in [0,1)$$ defined over prime numbers $p$, and subsequently, their differentiability properties. The visible fractal nature of the graphs as a function of $\alpha,\beta$ is analyzed in terms of H\"older continuity, self similarity and fractal dimension, backed with numerical results. We also discuss the link of this series to random walks and consequently, explore numerically its random properties.
