Von Mangoldt conductor change-level correction #

For the coefficient Λ(n) on the integer interval [1,N], the terms on which changing a Dirichlet character from level q to its conductor can disagree are prime powers p^k with p ∣ q. This gives a polylogarithmic bound for every correction prefix and, after summing over levels and nonprincipal characters, a Q^2 (rather than N-times-energy) correction.

The interval starts at zero: all prefix sums below are over [1,y]. No claim is made here for translated intervals, where a separate count of prime powers in a short interval would be needed.

The integer coefficient which is Λ(n) on positive integers.

        A bad von Mangoldt integer is literally a power of a prime divisor of the level.

        The number of distinct prime divisors of q is at most log₂ q for positive q.

        On [1,N], every von Mangoldt change-level error has norm at most 2 log N; outside the explicit bad support it is zero.

        Every prefix correction for Λ, on the interval starting at zero, is polylogarithmic in N and q.

        Maximal-prefix version of the preceding bound.

        The full q,χ correction aggregate is times a polylogarithm. This is the Λ-specific estimate replacing the general coefficient N-times-energy bound.
