Elliott–Halberstam conjecture for friable integers

About 2 years old · traced to

Let ε∈(0,1)\varepsilon\in(0,1), and let v=log⁡x/log⁡zv=\log x/\log z be fixed. Write Ψ(x′,z;a,q)\Psi(x',z;a,q) for the count of zz-friable integers up to x′x' in the reduced residue class a(modq)a\pmod q, and let Ψq(x′,z)\Psi_q(x',z) denote the corresponding count with the coprimality condition (n,q)=1(n,q)=1. Elliott–Halberstam conjecture for friable integers.

∑q≤x1−εmax⁡x′≤x  max⁡(a,q)=1∣Ψ(x′,z;a,q)−Ψq(x′,z)φ(q)∣≪A,εxlog⁡Ax.\sum_{q\leq x^{1-\varepsilon}}\max_{x'\leq x}\;\max_{(a,q)=1}\left|\Psi(x',z;a,q)-\frac{\Psi_q(x',z)}{\varphi(q)}\right|\ll_{A,\varepsilon}\frac{x}{\log^A x}.

The implied constant may depend on AA and ε\varepsilon. This asserts exponent of distribution 1−ε1-\varepsilon for friable integers when vv is fixed; the source describes it as conjectural, while the preceding discussion mentions partial results of Harper and Pascadi.
