Family 011. The Ford–Konyagin–Luca conjecture on prime predecessors.

The authors are OpenAI. This companion does not verify the proof and does not adopt it as a theorem of Ngo Cheung’s series. It is not a premise. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. Anti-de Sitter results are not a de Sitter state, not Em02-E’s relational lapse, not XVI-P’s QdS scheme, and not XVI-Q’s sigma-image record. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted.

Read against the standing problems

Standing problems. No standing problem is named in this text. It was still read against the nine problems and does not close any of them. The authors are OpenAI. The companion does not verify the proof. This is not a premise of a manuscript by Ngo Cheung. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED. No quantum coefficient is admitted. No compilation is asserted. XVI-P · XVI-N

Proves that the normalized ordered logarithms of the prime factors of $p - 1$ , counted with multiplicity, converge jointly to the Poisson–Dirichlet law $PD (1)$ as $p$ ranges uniformly over primes up to $x$ and $x \to \infty$ . This resolves the Ford–Konyagin–Luca conjecture. It also proves that infinitely many integers $n$ have more than $n^{1 - ε}$ totient preimages, for every $ε > 0$ .

We prove that there are infinitely many primes p for which $p - 1$ is squarefree and has an even number of prime factors. Equivalently, there are infinitely many primes p with $μ (p - 1) = 1$ .
