Erdős Problem 726

As nn\to \infty ranges over integers pn1n(p/2,p)(modp)1ploglogn2\sum_{p\leq n}1_{n\in (p/2,p)\pmod{p}}\frac{1}{p}\sim \frac{\log\log n}{2}?

Mathematical statement

As nn\to \infty ranges over integers pn1n(p/2,p)(modp)1ploglogn2\sum_{p\leq n}1_{n\in (p/2,p)\pmod{p}}\frac{1}{p}\sim \frac{\log\log n}{2}?

A conjecture of Erdős, Graham, Ruzsa, and Straus [EGRS75].

By n(p/2,p)(modp)n\in (p/2,p)\pmod{p} we mean nr(modp)n\equiv r\pmod{p} for some integer rr with p/2<r<pp/2<r<p.

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
