Maximal oscillation conjecture for the Mertens product
Maximal oscillation conjecture for the Mertens product
Let tend to infinity, and let denote Euler's constant. Define the Mertens product by
Maximal oscillation conjecture. As ,
and
This conjecture predicts the maximal order of the oscillations of the error in the Mertens product formula, refining the known lower bound of order after normalization by . It follows the probabilistic approach used by Montgomery for the maximal size of ; the stated asymptotic extremal behavior remains unproved.
