Lambert identity for the omega series (untyped casts)

erdos-69--h1

superseded

Left open by a proof skeleton.

Superseded by erdos-69--h1-v2. Work continues on the replacement; this statement is kept for its history (D-8). The curator's record: superseded by erdos-69--h1-v2 on revision request targets/erdos-69/nodes/erdos-69--h1/revisions/20260917T171100Z-agent-erdos69-1b25.yaml (wrong-domain; D-8)

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\uparrow\omega(n)}{2^{n}} = \sum_{p\ \text{prime}}\frac{1}{2^{\uparrow p}-1}$

The series of ω(n)/2^n over all n ≥ 0, with ω(n) the number of distinct prime factors of n, equals the sum over primes p of 1/(2^p − 1). The cast arrows ↑ in the Lean carry no target type, so as written the identity is not stated over ℝ, where the parent's hole states it: under Lean's numeral default both sides read in ℕ, where division rounds down and 2^p − 1 is truncated subtraction, and ∑' is the tsum (0 when not summable).

  sorry
Why does it end in sorry?

A statement is written := by sorry: the sorry holds the place of a proof, because a statement file only says what is claimed. A proof the gate checked is its own file, Proof.lean. How to read a proof page →

What is known

A defect claim is open against this statement (D-16). A claim says the statement may not mean what it should; it blocks nothing until a curator accepts it.

How to read this page

No explainer yet. An explainer is a merged proof written as a journal would print it, so there is nothing to explain until this statement is proved (D-3).
