Asymptotic counting of integers with prime factors pra sb
Abstract
Let pn be the nth prime, and let r,s≥2 be fixed multiplicatively independent integers. We count the integers up to x whose prime factors all have the form pra sb with integers a,b≥0. Our asymptotic formula for this count has relative error o(1) and is explicit down to the multiplicative constant. For (r,s)=(2,3) these integers are the prime codes of the ordinals below ωω2, so the formula settles that case of the counting problem of Vernaeve, Vindas and Weiermann.
