Kellner's conjecture on the distribution of prime factors of Dn+\mathbb{D}^+_n

About 3 years old · traced to

For a prime pp, let sp(n)s_p(n) be the sum of the base-pp digits of nn, let ω(n)\omega(n) count the distinct prime divisors of nn, and define

Dn+=∏p>n\sp(n)≥pp(n≥1).\mathbb{D}^+_n=\prod_{\substack{p>\sqrt{n}\s_p(n)\geq p}}p\qquad(n\geq1).

Kellner's conjecture. The following statements hold: Dn+>1\mathbb{D}^+_n>1, equivalently ω(Dn+)>0\omega(\mathbb{D}^+_n)>0, for n>192n>192, and there exists a constant κ>1\kappa>1 such that

ω(Dn+)∼κnlog⁡nas n→∞.\omega(\mathbb{D}^+_n)\sim\kappa\frac{\sqrt n}{\log n}\qquad\text{as }n\to\infty.

The first assertion with κ=2\kappa=2 was proved by Bordellès et al. for sufficiently large nn, while the asymptotic assertion is not resolved here.
