The Poisson-Dirichlet law for prime predecessors

OpenAI

Abstract

For a prime p chosen uniformly from , list the prime factors of in decreasing order, with multiplicity. As , their logarithms, divided by , converge in every finite joint distribution to the Poisson–Dirichlet distribution with parameter one. This proves the conjecture of Ford, Konyagin and Luca.
