Conjecture on the typical height of Pratt trees
For a prime , let be the height of its Pratt tree: the tree with root , whose children are the prime factors of , constructed recursively, stopping at . Let denote the number of primes at most . Pratt-tree height conjecture. There exist constants and real numbers such that
for all and ,

The conjecture describes the typical height of Pratt trees and is motivated by results supporting branching-random-walk heuristics; the source provides no resolution, so its status remains open.
