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.
