Comments are welcome", "categories": [ "math.NT" ], "abstract": "We study the distribution of the product of $k ~(\\geq 2)$ distinct primes $p_1\\cdots p_k\\leq x$ with each prime factor in an arithmetic progression $p_j\\equiv a_j \\bmod q$, $(a_j, q)=1$ $(q \\geq 3, 1\\leq j\\leq k)$. For any $A>0$, we prove an asymptotic formula uniformly for $2\\leq k\\leq A\\log\\log x$ for the number of such integers. Moreover, we show that, there are large biases towards some certain arithmetic progressions $\\boldsymbol{a}:=(a_1, \\cdots, a_k)$, and such biases have connections with Mertens theorem and the least prime in arithmetic progressions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-07T06:45:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06", "11N13", "11N69" ], "keywords": [ "arithmetic progression", "prime factor", "large bias", "asymptotic formula", "distinct primes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
