Main theorem for primitive sets above x #
This file contains the public theorem solving Erdős Problem #1196 in the quantitative form
1 + O(1 / log x). It packages the eventual choice of the cutoff Y, builds the explicit
Markov layer with visiting probabilities 1 / (B_x n log n), and combines the hit-mass and
normalization estimates into the final logarithmic-series bound.
Main statements #
Formal solution of Erdős Problem #1196: there exist constants C and x₀ such that for every
cutoff x ≥ x₀ and every primitive set A ⊆ Ici x, the logarithmic series
∑_{a ∈ A} 1 / (a log a) is summable and bounded above by 1 + C / log x.
