The refined distribution conjecture for Pratt-tree height
The refined distribution conjecture for Pratt-tree height
For a prime , let be the height of its Pratt tree, let and , and write for the number of primes at most . Refined Pratt-tree height conjecture. There is a quantity and fixed constants such that
with, for every , the number of primes satisfying bounded above and below by constant multiples of the indicated exponential tails, and with the lower tail satisfying
More precisely, the upper-tail bounds are and . The conjecture predicts a tight, asymmetric distribution for the centered Pratt-tree height; the paper states that the corresponding features are proved for its probabilistic model, but not for the arithmetic problem.
