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…

Given a natural number $n$, let $\omega\left(n\right)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, let $Z$ denote a standard normal variable, and let $P_{n}$ denote the uniform distribution on $\left\{ 1,\ldots,n\right\} $. The…

In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan showed that if $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of a randomly chosen positive integer $n,$ then the normal order of $\omega(n)$ is $\log \log \, n.$ This led Erd\H{o}s and Kac to prove their…

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 $\omega(n-1)$ satisfies an Erd\H{o}s-Kac type theorem whenever $\omega(n)=k$ where $1\leqslant k\ll\log\log…

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…

In this article we show that the Erd\H{o}s-Kac theorem, which informally states that the number of prime divisors of very large integers converges to a normal distribution, has an elegant proof via Algorithmic Information Theory.

We investigate the number of prime factors of individual entries for matrices in the special linear group over the integers. We show that, when properly normalised, it satisfies a central limit theorem of Erd\H{o}s-Kac-type. To do so, we…
