Summatory function of the number of prime factors


Abstract in English

We consider the summatory function of the number of prime factors for integers $leq x$ over arithmetic progressions. Numerical experiments suggest that some arithmetic progressions consist more number of prime factors than others. Greg Martin conjectured that the difference of the summatory functions should attain a constant sign for all sufficiently large $x$. In this paper, we provide strong evidence for Greg Martins conjecture. Moreover, we derive a general theorem for arithmetic functions from the Selberg class.
