Joint Poisson distribution of prime factors in sets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given disjoint subsets T1,ldots,Tm 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 T1,ldots,Tm 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 T1,ldots,Tm 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.
