Some examples of well-behaved Beurling number systems

Abstract

We investigate the existence of well-behaved Beurling number systems, which are systems of Beurling generalized primes and integers which admit a power saving in the error term of both their prime and integer-counting function. Concretely, we search for so-called [α,β][\alpha,\beta]-systems, where α\alpha and β\beta are connected to the optimal power saving in the prime and integer-counting functions. It is known that every [α,β][\alpha,\beta]-system satisfies max{α,β}1/2\max\{\alpha,\beta\}\ge1/2. In this paper we show there are [α,β][\alpha,\beta]-systems for each α[0,1)\alpha \in [0,1) and β[1/2,1)\beta \in [1/2, 1). Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we also construct certain families of [α,β][\alpha,\beta]-systems with β<1/2\beta<1/2.
