The indicator-function residue conjecture for prime tower factorizations
The indicator-function residue conjecture for prime tower factorizations
Let be the parameter defining the set , let denote the density associated with this set, and let be the indicator function of the event . Define
where is understood as the analytic continuation of this Dirichlet series. Residue conjecture. The density complement satisfies
and
The formula is intended to connect the density of integers excluded from the prime-tower set with the Euler product and the residue of the associated Dirichlet series; the authors explicitly leave the analytic details unproved, and no resolution is supplied.
