$\log \log p / \log \log n$, where $p|n$, gets equidistributed in [0,1] (for almost all $n$)

According to Hardy-Ramanujan/Erdős-Kac we know that usually there are $\sim\log\log n$ prime numbers in a factorization. But if you pick up a natural number at random, and you factor it, what is the ...

Must Mersenne numbers be divisible by arbitrary large primes with exponent one?

Let $M_n$ denote the Mersenne numbers $M_n=2^n-1$. As $n$ varies, must $M_n$ be divisible by arbitrary large prime $p$ with exponent one, i.e. $p \mid M_n, p^2 \nmid M_n$? In other words, must the ...

Is there a "small $\omega$" number theorem?

In my studies of how primes jump (search this forum for a link), a question has been raised which may have been studied. Can anyone jump-start my literature search with references regarding the ...
