Abstract

We present an assessment of the distance in total variation of \textit{arbitrary} collection of prime factor multiplicities of a random number in [n]={1,,n}[n]=\{1,\dots, n\} and a collection of independent geometric random variables. More precisely, we impose mild conditions on the probability law of the random sample and the aforementioned collection of prime multiplicities, for which a fast decaying bound on the distance towards a tuple of geometric variables holds. Our results generalize and complement those from Kubilius et al. which consider the particular case of uniform samples in [n][n] and collection of "small primes". As applications, we show a generalized version of the celebrated Erd\"os Kac theorem for not necessarily uniform samples of numbers.
