How can I convert Meissel's/Lehmer's formula for prime counting to get sum of primes

If you consult Lehmer's paper, the terms in question arise from $$P_2(x, a) = \sum_{p_a < p_i \le \frac x{p_i}} \sum_{p_i \le p_j \le \frac x{p_i}} 1 = \sum_{p_a < p_i \le b} \left\{ \pi\left(\frac x{ …

Can a smooth domain in a sphere be a homology ball without being contractible?

Yes, such domain exists. Let $P$ be Poincare homology 3-sphere. And $X= P\times I - D^3\times I$, then $X$ can be smoothly embedded in $S^4$(mostly the double of $X$ is $S^4$) . Let $\Omega$ be a smal …

First hitting time for non-homogeneous diffusion martingale

For $h:=\Delta t>0$, you had $$P(\tau>t)-P(\tau>t+h)=\int_{(0,\infty)} P(M\le-x|X_t=x)\,P(X_t\in dx),$$ where $$M:=\inf_{t\le u\le t+h}J_u,\quad J_u:=\int_t^u a(s,X_s)\,dW_s.$$ By Doob's martingale in …

A comparison of diffusions

Consider two diffusions given by $$X_j(t)=\int_0^t a_j(s,X_j(s))\,dW_s$$ for $j=1,2$ and $t\ge 0$, where $W_\cdot$ is a standard Wiener process/Brownian motion and the $a_j$'s are smooth enough functi …

Normal numbers, Liouville function, and the Riemann Hypothesis

This is a question about whether or not some number $\lambda^*$ is normal in base 2. More specifically, I am wondering if $\lambda^*$ is not normal. Proving it is normal would be next to impossible, a …

Which great mathematicians were also historians of mathematics?

Many famous number-theorists have written about the history of the theory of numbers. One of the most prominent examples is that of André Weil (1906-1998): not only did he author epoch-making papers i …

Why is the Gaussian so pervasive in mathematics?

Edit 2/15/2022{ The utility of the Gaussian $e^{\frac{t^2}{2}}$--its numerous properties--derives from the nature of the coefficients of its Taylor series expansion, naturally. The coefficients, which …

To which value does this infinite sum of power series coefficients converge?

Context: In this and this paper, J. Arias de Reyna shows that the RH follows when: $$1.2663935... \le \sum_{n=1}^\infty A_n^2 \le 1.2723669...$$ where $A_n$ is the coefficient in the following power …
