Abstract

For arbitrary real t>1 we examine the set {⌊x/nt⌋:n≤x}. Asymptotic formulas for the cardinality of this set and the number of primes in this set are given. The prime counting result uses an alternate Vaughan's decomposition for the von Mangoldt function, with triple exponential sums instead of double exponential sums. These sets are the sparsest known sets that satisfy the prime number theorem, in the sense that the number of primes is asymptotically given by the cardinality of the set divided by the natural logarithm of the cardinality of the set.
