Mertens-like theorem

Mertens' first theorem states that $$ \sum_{p \leq n} \frac{\log p}{p} = \log n + O(1). $$ I read in this paper that the following variant is "classical": $$ \sum_{p \leq n} \frac{\log p}{p -...

In one of Soundararajan's papers, he claims without proof that it is a standard exercise to show that the number $N(X)$ of positive square-free integers $d \equiv 1 \; \bmod \; 8$ less than $X$, with ...

$n$th prime: a better approximation

Let $p_n$ be the $n$-th prime, then from Wikipedia I got that $p_n \approx n \left(\ln n + \ln \ln n -1 + \frac{\ln \ln n-2}{\ln n}+\frac{6\ln \ln n-( \ln \ln n)^2-11}{\ln^2 n} \right)$. What is a ...

The prime number theorem implies that for every $ϵ>0$, there is $n_\epsilon$ such that for all $n≥n_\epsilon$ the number of primes in $[n,cn]$ is at least $\frac{(c−1−\epsilon)n}{\log n}$ and at ...
