Pomerance's shifted-prime smoothness conjecture
Pomerance's shifted-prime smoothness conjecture
For , let be the greatest prime factor of , and define
Let denote the count of positive integers at most whose prime factors are all at most . Pomerance's conjecture. If with , then
This asserts that shifted primes have the same relative smoothness frequency as generic integers. It is used as a conditional input in the paper and remains open in the stated generality.
