High and odd moments in the Erdős--Kac theorem (2501.00351v1)

Published 31 Dec 2024 in math.NT and math.PR

Abstract: Granville and Soundararajan showed that the $k$th moment in the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem is equal to the $k$th moment of the standard Gaussian distribution in the range $k=o((\log \log x){1/3})$, up to a negligible error term. We show that their range is sharp: when $k/(\log \log x){1/3}$ tends to infinity, a different behavior emerges, and odd moments start exhibiting similar growth to even moments. For odd $k$ we find the asymptotics of the $k$th moment when $k=O((\log \log x){1/3})$, where previously only an upper bound was known. Our methods are flexible and apply to other distributions, including the Poisson distribution, whose centered moments turn out to be excellent approximations for the Erd\H{o}s--Kac moments.
