MathlibNt.SieveTheory.Arithmetic.GoldbachLiuProductBridge

Exact Goldbach product bridge in Liu's normalization #

The finite identity in MertensTheorem.sieveProduct_identity keeps the strict prime cutoff and cancels precisely the factors at primes dividing N. For even N, removing the local factor at 2 gives twice Liu's odd-prime truncation (Liu, main.tex, lines 98--102; see LiuSingularSeries).

We use this identity before estimating the prime product. Multiplication by the positive logarithm pays one denominator once, and the resulting two-sided bound is shared by the S1 lower and B10 upper estimates. No infinite-series approximation is made here: each consumer separately controls the difference between the actual finite truncation and the full Liu singular series.

Exact finite product, including the factor at 2 and the strict cutoff.

Nonnegativity also holds below the analytic cutoff; evenness excludes 2 from the nondivisor product.

Mertens' frozen prime-product estimate, transferred through the exact finite identity. The same constant and both signs serve the two consumers; the old quantitative domain N ≥ 4, even N, Z ≥ 3 is retained.
