Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Rubinstein and Sarnak have shown, conditional on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) and the linear independence hypothesis (LI) on the nonreal zeros of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="zeta left-parenthesis s right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi> ζ </mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\zeta (s)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> , that the set of real numbers <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="x greater-than-or-equal-to 2"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ≥ </mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">x\ge 2</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> for which <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="pi left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis greater-than l i left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi> π </mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>&gt;</mml:mo> <mml:mi>li</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⁡ </mml:mo> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\pi (x)&gt;\operatorname {li}(x)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> has a logarithmic density, which they computed to be about <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="2.6 times 10 Superscript negative 7"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2.6</mml:mn> <mml:mo> × </mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mn>10</mml:mn> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo> − </mml:mo> <mml:mn>7</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">2.6\times 10^{-7}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> . A natural problem is to examine the actual primes in this race. We prove, assuming RH and LI, that the logarithmic density of the set of primes <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">p</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> for which <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="pi left-parenthesis p right-parenthesis greater-than l i left-parenthesis p right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi> π </mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo>&gt;</mml:mo> <mml:mi>li</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⁡ </mml:mo> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\pi (p)&gt;\operatorname {li}(p)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> relative to the prime numbers exists and is the same as the Rubinstein–Sarnak density. We also extend such results to a broad class of prime number races, including the “Mertens race” between <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="product Underscript p greater-than x Endscripts left-parenthesis 1 minus 1 slash p right-parenthesis Superscript negative 1"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:munder> <mml:mo> ∏ </mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>&gt;</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:munder> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo> − </mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo> − </mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\prod _{p&gt; x}(1-1/p)^{-1}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="e Superscript gamma Baseline log x"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>e</mml:mi> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi> γ </mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mi>log</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⁡ </mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">e^{\gamma }\log x</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and the “Zhang race” between <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="sigma-summatio

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
