Global bound for Liu's AP prime-power correction #

This module bounds the progression-restricted correction by the unrestricted nonprime von Mangoldt sum. On nonzero von Mangoldt support, n >= 2, so the normalizing logarithm is bounded below by the exact constant log 2.

The unrestricted nonprime von Mangoldt sum with the logarithmic normalization occurring in the prime-power correction.

    Removing the congruence restriction only enlarges the nonnegative prime-power correction. This includes the degenerate moduli q = 0, 1.

    The zero-modulus term in Liu's outer average is killed by its squared Möbius weight, independently of the residue convention modulo zero.

    The unrestricted correction is at most the Chebyshev prime-power tail divided by the exact lower bound log 2 for its denominator.

    The AP correction is bounded by the same Chebyshev tail, uniformly in the modulus and residue.

    The global correction is nonnegative, including at y = 0, 1.

    Effective Chebyshev control gives a nonnegative constant for which the global logarithmically normalized correction is O(sqrt y).

    Asymptotic form of the effective global correction bound.

    Lifting the global estimate through Liu's finite maxima #

    The exact Liu-weight support functional left by the global square-root estimate. The source weight is retained as |f a|.

    Equations
    Instances For

      For Liu's characteristic source weight, the support functional is exactly the square-root mass of the unique admissible prime-pair representations.

      Cauchy--Schwarz reduces the source pair square-root mass to the exact pair cardinality and the already controlled reciprocal pair mass.

      The exact finite support and modulus-weight functional remaining after the global Chebyshev estimate. No bound on the source weight is inserted here.

      Equations
      Instances For

        The remaining global-support functional factors exactly into a modulus weight mass and the source support mass.

        Source specialization of the exact factorization: the only remaining inputs are the modulus weight mass and Liu's pair square-root mass.

        An explicit bound for the remaining finite support functional is exactly the additional input needed to close the existing fixed-N correction bound.
