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 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…

We show that the Erd\H{o}s-Kac theorem is valid in almost all intervals $\left[x,x+h\right]$ as soon as $h$ tends to infinity with $x$. We also show that for all $k$ near $\log\log x$, almost all interval $\left[x,x+\exp\left(\left(\log\log…

The Erd\H{o}s-Kac theorem is a celebrated result in number theory which says that the number of distinct prime factors of a uniformly chosen random integer satisfies a central limit theorem. In this paper, we establish the large deviations…

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…

We study probability distributions arising from local obstructions to the existence of $p$-adic points in families of varieties. In certain cases we show that an Erd\H{o}s-Kac type law holds.

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 introduce methods that allow to derive continuous-time versions of various discrete-time ergodic theorems. We then illustrate these methods by giving simple proofs and refinements of some known results as well as establishing new results…

Transforming the Erd\H{o}s-Kac theorem provides more flexibility in how the theorem can be utilized as an interval estimate for the prime omega function, which counts the number of distinct prime divisors. Here, we consider a direct…

We show that for large integers $n$, whose ratios of consecutive divisors are bounded above by an arbitrary constant, the number of prime factors follows an approximate normal distribution, with mean $C \log_2 n$ and variance $V \log_2 n$,…
