The celebrated Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem says, roughly speaking, that the values of additive functions satisfying certain mild hypotheses are normally distributed. In the intervening years, similar normal distribution laws have been shown to…

Let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of a natural number $n$. In 1940, Erd\H{o}s and Kac established that $\omega(n)$ obeys the Gaussian distribution over natural numbers, and in 2004, the third author generalized…

Random integers, sampled uniformly from $[1,x]$, share similarities with random permutations, sampled uniformly from $S_n$. These similarities include the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem on the distribution of the number of prime factors of a random…

Granville and Soundararajan showed that the $k$th moment in the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem is equal to the $k$th moment of the standard Gaussian distribution in the range $k=o((\log \log x)^{1/3})$, up to a negligible error term. We show that…

Let $x\geqslant 3$, for $1\leqslant n \leqslant x$ an integer, let $\omega(n)$ be its number of distinct prime factors. We show that, among the values $n\leqslant x$ with $\omega(n)=k$ where $1\leqslant k \ll \log_2 x$, $\omega(n-1)$…

We prove an Erd\H{o}s-Kac type of theorem for the set $S(x,y)=\{n\leq x: p|n \Rightarrow p\leq y \}$. If $\omega (n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$, we prove that the distribution of $\omega(n)$ for $n \in S(x,y)$ is Gaussian for a…

For a wide range of functions $W\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, we establish a general result for estimating weighted averages of the form \[ \mathbb{E}^{W}_{n \le N} f(\vartheta(n))= \frac{1}{W(N)}\sum_{n=1}^N (W(n)-W(n-1))f(\vartheta(n)),…

Let $s(n)=\sum_{d\mid n,~d<n} d$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of $n$. The second-named author proved that $\omega(s(n))$ has normal order $\log\log{n}$, the analogue for $s$-values of a classical result of Hardy and Ramanujan. We…

We prove that the divisor function $d(n)$ counting the number of divisors of the integer $n$, is a good weighting function for the pointwise ergodic theorem. For any measurable dynamical system $(X, {\mathcal A},\nu,\tau)$ and any $f\in…

For $0 < \lambda < 1$ and $n \rightarrow \infty$ pick uniformly at random $\lambda n$ vectors in $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $C$ be the orthogonal complement of their span. Given $0 < \gamma < \frac12$ with $0 < \lambda < h(\gamma)$, let $X$ be the…
