Hao–Wang–Zhang equality conjecture for the Erdős–Burgess constant
Hao–Wang–Zhang equality conjecture for the Erdős–Burgess constant
For an integer , let denote the Erdős–Burgess constant of the multiplicative semigroup , let be the Davenport constant of a finite abelian group , and let and denote, respectively, the number of prime factors of counted with multiplicity and the number of distinct prime divisors of . Hao–Wang–Zhang equality conjecture. For every integer ,
The corresponding inequality is known, with equality when is a prime power or a product of distinct primes. The conjecture asks whether equality holds for all , strengthening the known lower bound and relating the Erdős–Burgess and Davenport constants.
