Chebyshev theta function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
The Chebyshev theta function is one of the two Chebyshev functions and is the natural logarithm of the primorial:
where both the sum and the product range over prime numbers.
Every prime in is at least . Consequently the primorial satisfies
Combining this with part (c) and taking logarithms gives
so
For , the inequality implies
Thus the prime-counting upper bound from a primorial estimate yields
We may take .

If for every , where , then
for . Every prime in contributes at least to the primorial, so
Taking logarithms, using , and observing that for proves the claim.
