Apr 26, 2022 at 4:40 comment added Arnold @YemonChoi No. I am not talking about that comment. The comment which I asked you to delete has been deleted by you or the moderators since I also flagged that comment. It's nothing personal.
Apr 26, 2022 at 1:04 comment added Yemon Choi @Arnold are you referring to my comment asking why you have bumped the question to the top page through editing? I don't think that is an unkind comment; I think it is a reasonable question, given that you already accepted an answer to this question more than a year ago.
Apr 25, 2022 at 12:42 comment added Arnold @YemonChoi Your comment is unkind. I request you to delete it. Can you please do that?

May 8, 2020 at 21:32 comment added GH from MO @DxdxDxdx: I don't have time for this right now. Also, it is not too much fun to help students understand a particular line from a paper that is not close to my research. I think your best shot is to contact the authors. As I said, they are mathematicians just like me, but they have the advantage that they wrote the paper, and you write a thesis about their work. So don't be shy, just drop them an email!
May 8, 2020 at 11:24 comment added GH from MO @DxdxDxdx: I take back "Please restrict to one question per post". Perhaps you can also discuss this topic with friends/classmates. You can also contact the authors of the paper, they are mathematicians just like those who respond here. They will be delighted to hear you write a thesis based on their work.

Apr 16, 2020 at 21:01 comment added Greg Martin Check out the definition of $\rho_0$ ... on an interval of the form $[\frac k6,\frac{k+1}6)$, how many different values does $\rho_0$ take? (This, in fact, is the motivation for that specific splitting-up choice.)

Apr 16, 2020 at 20:11 comment added Arnold thanks!! Now that question is clear. But I have one question still if you don't mind, in 3 rd = how in RHS of = you Put $\rho_0(n/p) $ out of summation by putting$\rho_0(k/6) $ . I can get only up to k+1/6 > n/p $\geq$ k/6 . I am sorry but I can't get it.
Apr 16, 2020 at 15:32 comment added Greg Martin We're just splitting up the range of summation into intervals on which the function is simpler. A strong analogy would be the computation $$\int_0^N \lfloor x\rfloor^2\,dx = \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} \int_k^{k+1} \lfloor x\rfloor^2\,dx = \sum_{k=0}^{N-1} k^2 \int_k^{k+1} 1\,dx.$$
Apr 16, 2020 at 15:30 comment added Greg Martin On the first line, every prime between $2\sqrt n$ and $n$ appears exactly once, and smaller or larger primes don't appear at all. On the second line, do any primes smaller than $2\sqrt n$ or larger than $n$ appear? Given a prime $p$ between $2\sqrt n$ and $n$, for how many values of $k$ will $p$ appear in the inner sum?
Mar 20, 2020 at 11:54 comment added Arnold how did you deduced that p lies between 6n/k+1 and 6n/k ? I am not able to think about it. Can you please tell.
Mar 20, 2020 at 7:33 comment added Greg Martin There was a typo (now fixed). We're just splitting up the interval of summation from the first line into $3\sqrt n-1$ consecutive intervals of summation.

Mar 20, 2020 at 5:36 comment added Arnold in the fifth line of your answer how did you change $\sum_{2√n<p$\leq$n$ = $\sum_{k=6}^{3√n-1}$ $\sum_{6n/(k+1) p$\leq$6n/k) . Can you please elaborate why it is right?
