Erdős–Kac conjecture for integer parts of polynomials with an irrational coefficient

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let ff be a polynomial with at least one irrational non-constant coefficient. For n∼U[N]n\sim U[N], define

XN=ω(⌊f(n)⌋)−log⁡log⁡Nlog⁡log⁡N.X_N=\frac{\omega(\lfloor f(n)\rfloor)-\log\log N}{\sqrt{\log\log N}}.

Erdős–Kac conjecture for integer parts of polynomials. The random variable XNX_N converges in distribution to the standard Gaussian N(0,1)\mathcal{N}(0,1) as N→∞N\rightarrow\infty.

This would generalise the Erdős–Kac laws established in the paper for Beatty sequences and integer polynomials; the corresponding result for general polynomials with an irrational non-constant coefficient remains open.
