TL;DR
Hi All. Does anybody have a reference (besides those of Paulo Ribenboim) where one can find a compilation of demonstrations of the Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of primes?
Hi All. Does anybody have a reference, (book, internet site) - besides those books of Paulo Ribenboim - where one can find a compilation of demonstrations of the Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of primes?
As a suggestion, if the known proofs are neither too many not too long, it would be nice to have them described here in this post.

Thank you, mfb, very much. I have forgotten the Arxiv.
Let's forget about describing them here...too many.

News in this topic. I ended up publishing an article in the meanwhile where I present three new demonstrations of the infinitude of prime numbers. One is actually a new formulation of the proof given by Euclid expressed in terms of angles between vectors of an entire lattice in k dimensions. Although this is geometry in k dimensions, it is only necessary in this proof to use the dot product between pairs of vectors to check orthogonality. Below is the link to the article.
