Poisson Approximation of prime divisors of shifted primes

Kevin Ford

Published 2024-08-07Version 1

We develop an analog for shifted primes of the Kubilius model of prime factors of integers. We prove a total variation distance estimate for the difference between the model and actual prime factors of shifted primes, and apply it to show that the prime factors of shifted primes in disjoint sets behave like independent Poisson variables. As a consequence, we establish a transference principle between the anatomy of random integers up to x and of random shifted primes p+a with p < x.
