Smooth divisor-square sieve asymptotic
ID: smooth-divisor-square-sieve-asymptotic
For a real smooth cutoff supported on with , define . Its sum over any interval of length is , uniformly in the interval location. Here is the derivative energy constant for a smooth sieve cutoff. Expanding the square yields an interval-counting error and an Euler product for a smoothed divisor-square correlation; its zeta function pole provides the main term. Every prime exceeding has weight one, giving the short-interval prime upper bound from a smooth divisor weight.
