Joint Poisson distribution of prime factors in sets

Abstract: Given disjoint subsets

T_{1}, l d o t s, T_{m}

of "not too large" primes up to

x

, we establish that for a random integer

n

drawn from

[1, x]

, the

m

-dimensional vector enumerating the number of prime factors of

n

from

T_{1}, l d o t s, T_{m}

converges to a vector of

m

independent Poisson random variables. We give a specific rate of convergence using the Kubilius model of prime factors. We also show a universal upper bound of Poisson type when

T_{1}, l d o t s, T_{m}

are unrestricted, and apply this to the distribution of the number of prime factors from a set

T

given that

n

has

k

total prime factors.
