Numerical experiments suggest that some arithmetic progressions consist more number of prime factors than others. Greg Martin conjectured that the difference of the summatory functions should attain a constant sign for all sufficiently large $x$. In this paper, we provide strong evidence for Greg Martin's conjecture. Moreover, we derive a general theorem for arithmetic functions from the Selberg class.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-21T22:59:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M26", "11N60", "11M36" ], "keywords": [ "prime factors", "summatory function", "arithmetic progressions consist", "greg martins conjecture", "selberg class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
