Abstract

We restrict primes and prime powers to sets . Let . Then the error in θH(x) has, unconditionally, the expected order of magnitude . However, if then ψH (x) = x log 2 + O (log x). Some reasons for and consequences of these sharp results are explored. A proof is given of the “harmonic prime number theorem”, πH (x)/π (x) → log 2.
