Analogues of Alladi's formula over global function fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we show an analogue of Kural, McDonald and Sah's result on Alladi's formula for global function fields. Explicitly, we show that for a global function field K, if a set S of prime divisors has a natural density delta(S) within prime divisors, then -lim_{n oinfty} sum_{substack{1le deg Dle n\ Din mathfrak{D}(K,S)}}frac{mu(D)}{|D|}=delta(S), where mu(D) is the M"{o}bius function on divisors and mathfrakD(K,S) is the set of all effective distinguishable divisors whose smallest prime factors are in S. As applications, we get the analogue of Dawsey's and Sweeting and Woo's results to the Chebotarev Density Theorem for function fields, and the analogue of Alladi's result to the Prime Polynomial Theorem for arithmetic progressions. We also display a connection between the M"obius function and the Fourier coefficients of modular form associated to elliptic curves. The proof of our main theorem is similar to the approach in Kural et al.'s article.
