Sparsity conjecture for sets satisfying the prime number theorem

For real xx and t>1t>1, let Sx/nt,xS_{\left\lfloor x/n^t\right\rfloor,x} denote the set considered in the paper, with the function defining Sf,xS_{f,x} taken to be non-piecewise. Sparsity conjecture. The family of sets Sx/nt,xS_{\left\lfloor x/n^t\right\rfloor,x} are the sparsest sets that satisfy the prime number theorem. The preceding asymptotic formula shows that these sets satisfy the prime number theorem, while their density becomes smaller as tt increases; the conjecture asserts optimality of this sparsity among such sets.
