9 Primary explicit estimates
9.1 Definitions
In this section we define the basic types of primary estimates we will work with in the project.
9.2 A Lemma involving the Möbius Function
In this section we establish a lemma involving sums of the Möbius function.
\(Q(x)\) is the number of squarefree integers \(\leq x\).
\(R(x) = Q(x) - x / \zeta (2)\).
\(M(x)\) is the summatory function of the Möbius function.
For any \(x{\gt}0\),
.
We compute
giving the claim.
For any \(x{\gt}0\),
The equality is immediate from Theorem 9.2.1 and exchanging the order of \(\sum \) and \(\int \), as is justified by \(\sum _n |\mu (n)|\int _0^{x/n^2} du \leq \sum _n x/n^2 {\lt} \infty \))
Since our sums start from \(1\), the sum \(\sum _{k\leq K}\) is empty for \(K=0\).
For any \(K \leq x\),
This is just splitting the sum at \(K\).
For any \(K \leq x\), for \(f(u) = M(\sqrt{x/u})\),
This is just splitting the integral at \(K\), since \(f(u) = M(\sqrt{x/u}) = 0\) for \(x{\gt}u\).
For any \(x{\gt}0\) and any integer \(K\geq 0\),
9.3 The estimates of Fiori, Kadiri, and Swidinsky
In this section we establish the primary results of Fiori, Kadiri, and Swidinsky [ 14 ] .
TODO: reorganize this blueprint and add proofs.
Let \(H_0\) denote a verification height for RH. Let \(10^9/H_0≤ k \leq 1\), \(t {\gt} 0\), \(H \in [1002, H_0)\), \(α {\gt} 0\), \(δ ≥ 1\), \(\eta _0 = 0.23622\), \(1 + \eta _0 \leq \mu \leq 1+\eta \), and \(\eta \in (\eta _0, 1/2)\) be fixed. Let \(\sigma {\gt} 1/2 + d / \log H_0\). Then for any \(T \geq H_0\), one has
and
.
For each \(\sigma _1, \sigma _2, \tilde c_1, \tilde c_2\) given in Table 8, we have \(N(\sigma ,T) \leq \tilde c_1 T^{p(\sigma )} \log ^{q(\sigma )} + \tilde c_2 \log ^2 T\) for \(\sigma _1 \leq \sigma \leq \sigma _2\) with \(p(\sigma ) = 8/3 (1-\sigma )\) and \(q(σ) = 5-2\sigma \).
If \(|N(T) - (T/2\pi \log (T/2\pi e) + 7/8)| \leq R(T)\) then \(\sum _{U \leq \gamma {\lt} V} 1/\gamma \leq B_1(U,V)\).
For each pair \(T_0,S_0\) in Table 1 we have, for all \(V {\gt} T_0\), \(\sum _{0 {\lt} \gamma {\lt} V} 1/\gamma {\lt} S_0 + B_1(T_0,V)\).
Let \(T_0 \geq 2\) and \(\gamma {\gt} 0\). Assume that there exist \(c_1, c_2, p, q, T_0\) for which one has a zero density bound. Assume \(\sigma \geq 5/8\) and \(T_0 \leq U {\lt} V\). Then \(s_0(σ,U,V) \leq B_0(\sigma ,U,V)\).
\(\Gamma (3,x) = (x^2 + 2(x+1)) e^{-x}\).
For \(s{\gt}1\), one has \(\Gamma (s,x) \sim x^{s-1} e^{-x}\).
Let \(x {\gt} e^{50}\) and \(50 {\lt} T {\lt} x\). Then \(E_\psi (x) \leq \sum _{|\gamma | {\lt} T} |x^{\rho -1}/\rho | + 2 \log ^2 x / T\).
For any \(\alpha \in (0,1/2]\) and \(\omega \in [0,1]\) there exist \(M, x_M\) such that for \(\max (51, \log x) {\lt} T {\lt} (x^\alpha -2)/5\) and some \(T^* \in [T, 2.45 T]\),
for all \(x ≥ x_M\).
Let \(x {\gt} e^{50}\) and \(3 \log x {\lt} T {\lt} \sqrt{x}/3\). Then \(E_\psi (x) ≤ \sum _{|\gamma | {\lt} T} |x^{\rho -1}/\rho | + 2 \log ^2 x / T\).
Let \(\sigma _1 \in (1/2,1)\) and let \((T_0,S_0)\) be taken from Table 1. Then \(\Sigma _0^{\sigma _1} ≤ 2 x^{-1/2} (S_0 + B_1(T_0,T)) + (x_1^{\sigma _1-1} - x^{-1/2}) B_1(H_0,T)\).
\(\Sigma _a^b = 2 * \sum _{H_a ≤ \gamma {\lt} T; a \leq \beta {\lt} b} \frac{x^{\beta -1}}{\gamma }\).
If \(\sigma {\lt} 1 - 1/R \log H_0\) then \(H_σ = H_0\).
Let \(N \geq 2\) be an integer. If \(5/8 \leq \sigma _1 {\lt} \sigma _2 \leq 1\), \(T \geq H_0\), then \(\Sigma _{\sigma _1}^{\sigma _2} ≤ 2 x^{-(1-\sigma _1)+(\sigma _2-\sigma _1/N)}B_0(\sigma _1, H_{\sigma _1}, T) + 2 x^{(1-\sigma _1)} (1 - x^{-(\sigma _2-\sigma _1)/N}) \sum _{n=1}^{N-1} B_0(\sigma ^{(n)}, H^{(n)}, T) x^{(\sigma _2-\sigma _1) (n+1)/N}\).
If \(\sigma _1 \geq 0.9\) then \(\Sigma _{\sigma _1}^{\sigma _2} \leq 0.00125994 x^{\sigma _2-1}\).
Let \(5/8 {\lt} \sigma _2 \leq 1\), \(t_0 = t_0(\sigma _2,x) = \max (H_{\sigma _2}, \exp ( \sqrt{\log x}/R))\) and \(T {\gt} 0\). Let \(K \geq 2\) and consider a strictly increasing sequence \((t_k)_{k=0}^K\) such that \(t_k = T\). Then \(\Sigma _{\sigma _2}^1 ≤ 2 N(\sigma _2,T) x^{-1/R\log t_0}/t_0\) and \(\Sigma _{\sigma _2}^1 ≤ 2 ((\sum _{k=1}^{K-1} N(\sigma _2, t_k) (x^{-1/R\log t_{k-1}} / t_{k-1} - x^{-1/(R \log t_k)}/t_k)) + x^{-1/R \log t_{K-1}}/t_{K-1} N(\sigma _2,T))\).
Let \(5/8 {\lt} \sigma _2 \leq 1\), \(t_0 = t_0(\sigma _2, x) = \max \left(H_{\sigma _2}, \exp \left(\sqrt{\frac{\log x}{R}}\right)\right)\), \(T {\gt} t_0\). Let \(K \geq 2\), \(\lambda = (T/t_0)^{1/K}\), and consider \((t_k)_{k=0}^K\) the sequence given by \(t_k = t_0 \lambda ^k\). Then
where
and \(\tilde{N}(\sigma , T)\) satisfy (ZDB) \(N(\sigma , T) \leq \tilde{N}(\sigma , T)\).
Fix \(K \geq 2\) and \(c {\gt} 1\), and set \(t_0\), \(T\), and \(\sigma _2\) as functions of \(x\) defined by
Then, with \(\varepsilon _4(x, \sigma _2, K, T)\) as defined in (3.22), we have that as \(x \to \infty \),
where \(c_1\) is an admissible value for (ZDB) on some interval \([\sigma _1, 1]\). Moreover, both \(\varepsilon _4(x, \sigma _2, K, T)\) and \(\frac{\varepsilon _4(x, \sigma _2, K, T) t_0^2}{(\log t_0)^3}\) are decreasing in \(x\) for \(x {\gt} \exp (Re^2)\).
For any \(x_0\) with \(\log x_0 {\gt} 1000\), and all \(0.9 {\lt} \sigma _2 {\lt} 1\), \(2 \leq c \leq 30\), and \(N, K \geq 1\) the formula \(\varepsilon (x_0) := \varepsilon (x_0, \sigma _2, c, N, K)\) as defined in (4.1) gives an effectively computable bound
Moreover, a collection of values, \(\varepsilon (x_0)\) computed with well chosen parameters are provided in Table 5.
For all \(0 {\lt} \log x \leq 2100\) we have that
For all \(2100 {\lt} \log x \leq 200000\) we have that
If \(\log x_0 \geq 1000\) then we have an admissible bound for \(E_\psi \) with the indicated choice of \(A(x_0)\), \(B = 3/2\), \(C = 2\), and \(R = 5.5666305\).
For all x > 2 we have \(E_ψ(x) \leq 121.096 (\log x/R)^{3/2} \exp (-2 \sqrt{\log x/R})\) with \(R = 5.5666305\).
For all x > 2 we have \(E_ψ(x) \leq 9.22022(\log x)^{3/2} \exp (-0.8476836 \sqrt{\log x})\).

9.4 Numerical content of BKLNW Appendix A
Purely numerical calculations from Appendix A of [ 2 ] . This is kept in a separate file from the main file to avoid heavy recompilations. Because of this, this file should not import any other files from the PNT+ project, other than further numerical data files.
The value of \(\varepsilon (b)\) arising from Table 8 of [ 2 ] is weaker than that from the expanded version of Table 8 available in the arXiv.

9.5 Appendix A of BKLNW
In this file we record the results from Appendix A of [ 2 ] . In this appendix, the authors derive explicit estimates on the error term in the prime number theorem for the Chebyshev function \(\psi \) assuming various inputs on the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, including a zero-density estimate, a classical zero-free region, and numerical verification of RH up to some height.

9.6 Chirre-Helfgott’s estimates for sums of nonnegative arithmetic functions
We record some estimates from [ 6 ] for summing non-negative functions, with a particular interest in estimating \(\psi \).
9.6.1 Fourier-analytic considerations
Some material from [ 6 , Section 2 ] , slightly rearranged to take advantage of existing results in the repository.
Let \(a_n\) be a sequence with \(\sum _{n{\gt}1} \frac{|a_n|}{n \log ^\beta n} {\lt} \infty \) for some \(\beta {\gt} 1\). Write \(G(s)= \sum _n a_n n^{-s} - \frac{1}{s-1}\) for \(\mathrm{Re} s {\gt} 1\). Let \(\varphi \) be absolutely integrable, supported on \([-1,1]\), and has Fourier decay \(\hat\psi (y) = O(1/|y|^\beta )\). Then for any \(x{\gt}0\) and \(\sigma {\gt} 1\)
Let \(a_n\) be a sequence with \(\sum _{n{\gt}1} \frac{|a_n|}{n \log ^\beta n} {\lt} \infty \) for some \(\beta {\gt} 1\). Assume that \(\sum _n a_n n^{-s} - \frac{1}{s-1}\) extends continuously to a function \(G\) defined on \(1 + i[-T,T]\). Let \(\varphi \) be absolutely integrable, supported on \([-1,1]\), and has Fourier decay \(\hat\varphi (y) = O(1/|y|^\beta )\). Then for any \(x{\gt}0\),
Apply Sublemma 9.6.1 and take the limit as \(\sigma \to 1^+\), using the continuity of \(G\) and the dominated convergence theorem, as well as the Fourier inversion formula.
\(S_\sigma (x)\) is equal to \(\sum _{n \leq x} a_n / n^\sigma \) if \(\sigma {\lt} 1\) and \(\sum _{n \geq x} a_n / n^\sigma \) if \(\sigma {\gt} 1\).
\(I_\lambda (u) = 1_{[0,\infty )}(\mathrm{sgn}(\lambda )u) e^{-\lambda u}\).
\(S_\sigma (x) = x^{-\sigma } \sum _n a_n \frac{x}{n} I_\lambda ( \frac{T}{2\pi } \log \frac{n}{x} )\) where \(\lambda = 2\pi (\sigma -1)/T\).
Routine manipulation.
Let \(a_n\) be a non-negative sequence with \(\sum _{n{\gt}1} \frac{|a_n|}{n \log ^\beta n} {\lt} \infty \) for some \(\beta {\gt} 1\). Assume that \(\sum _n a_n n^{-s} - \frac{1}{s-1}\) extends continuously to a function \(G\) defined on \(1 + i[-T,T]\). Let \(\varphi _+\) be absolutely integrable, supported on \([-1,1]\), and has Fourier decay \(\hat\varphi _+(y) = O(1/|y|^\beta )\). Let \(\sigma \neq 1\) and write \(\lambda = 2\pi (\sigma -1)/T\). Assume \(I_\lambda (y) \leq \hat\varphi _+(y)\) for all \(y\). Then for any \(x\geq 1\),
By the nonnegativity of \(a_n\) we have
By Proposition 9.6.1 we can express the right-hand side as
If \(\lambda {\gt} 0\), then \(I_\lambda (y)=0\) for negative \(y\), so
If \(\lambda {\lt} 0\), then \(I_\lambda (y)=e^{-\lambda y}\) for \(y\) negative, so
hence
Since \(x^{-\sigma } * (2\pi x / T) * x^{\sigma -1}/(-\lambda ) = 1/(1-\sigma )\), the result follows.
Let \(a_n\) be a non-negative sequence with \(\sum _{n{\gt}1} \frac{|a_n|}{n \log ^\beta n} {\lt} \infty \) for some \(\beta {\gt} 1\). Assume that \(\sum _n a_n n^{-s} - \frac{1}{s-1}\) extends continuously to a function \(G\) defined on \(1 + i[-T,T]\). Let \(\varphi _-\) be absolutely integrable, supported on \([-1,1]\), and has Fourier decay \(\hat\varphi _-(y) = O(1/|y|^\beta )\). Let \(\sigma \neq 1\) and write \(\lambda = 2\pi (\sigma -1)/T\). Assume \(\hat\varphi _-(y) \leq I_\lambda (y)\) for all \(y\). Then for any \(x\geq 1\) and \(\sigma \neq 1\),
9.6.2 Extremal approximants to the truncated exponential
In this section we construct extremal approximants to the truncated exponential function and establish their basic properties, following [ 6 , Section 4 ] , although we skip the proof of their extremality. As such, the material here is organized rather differently from that in the paper.

\(B^\pm \) is continuous at \(0\).
L’Hôpital’s rule can be applied to show the continuity at \(0\).

The residue of

This follows from the definition of \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\ast }_\nu \) and the properties of the \(B^\pm \) function.
\(\Phi ^{\sigma , \circ }_\nu (z) \pm \Phi ^{\sigma , \ast }_\nu (z)\) is regular at \(\pm 1 - i ν / 2 \pi \).
The residues cancel out.
\(\varphi \) is \(C^2\) on \([-1,0]\).
Since \(\Phi ^{\pm , \circ }_\nu (z)\) and \(\Phi ^{\pm , \circ }_\nu (z)\) have no poles on \(\mathbb {R}\), they have no poles on some open neighborhood of \([-1,1]\). Hence they are \(C^2\) on this interval. Since \(w(0) = ∌u\), we see that \(\Phi ^{\pm , \ast }_\nu (0)=0\), giving the claim.
\(\varphi \) is \(C^2\) on \([0,1]\).
Since \(\Phi ^{\pm , \circ }_\nu (z)\) and \(\Phi ^{\pm , \circ }_\nu (z)\) have no poles on \(\mathbb {R}\), they have no poles on some open neighborhood of \([-1,1]\). Hence they are \(C^2\) on this interval. Since \(w(0) = \nu \), we see that \(\Phi ^{\pm , \ast }_\nu (0)=0\), giving the claim.
\(\varphi \) is continuous on \([0,1]\).
By the preceding lemmas it suffices to verify continuity at \(0, -1, 1\). Continuity at \(0\) is clear. For \(t = -1, 1\), by \(\coth \frac{w(t)}{2} = \coth \frac{\nu }{2}\), we see that \(B^{\pm }(w(t)) = \left(\frac{\nu }{2} - \pi i t\right)\left(\coth \frac{\nu }{2} \pm 1\right)\), and so
hence, by Definition 9.6.6, \(\varphi ^{\pm }_{\nu }(t) = 0\). Thus, \(\varphi ^{\pm }_{\nu }\) is continuous at \(-1\) and at \(1\).
Let \(0 {\lt} \nu _0 \leq \nu _1\) and \(c {\gt} - \nu _0/2\pi \), then there exists \(C\) such that for all \(\nu \in [\nu _0, \nu _1]\), \(\Im z \geq c\) one has \(|\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z)| \leq C\).
The function \(\coth w = 1 + \frac{2}{e^{2w}-1}\) is bounded away from the imaginary line \(\Re w = 0\), that is, it is bounded on \(\Re w \geq \kappa \) and \(\Re w \leq -\kappa \) for any \(\kappa {\gt} 0\). The map \(w(z) = \nu - 2\pi i z\) sends the line \(\Im z = -\frac{\nu }{2\pi }\) to the imaginary line, and the region \(\Im z \geq c\) is sent to \(\Re w \geq 2\pi c + \nu \).
Let \(0 {\lt} \nu _0 \leq \nu _1\) and \(c {\lt} - \nu _1/2\pi \), then there exists \(C\) such that for all \(\nu \in [\nu _0, \nu _1]\), \(\Im z \leq c\) one has \(|\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z)| \leq C\).
Similar to previous lemma.
Let \(0 {\lt} \nu _0 \leq \nu _1\) and \(c {\gt} - \nu _0/2\pi \), then there exists \(C\) such that for all \(\nu \in [\nu _0, \nu _1]\), \(\Im z \geq c\) one has \(|\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z)| \leq C (|z|+1)\).
The bound on \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }\) follows from the bound on \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }\) by \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\bigl(w\, \Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }(w) - \nu \, \Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }(\nu )\bigr)\).
Let \(0 {\lt} \nu _0 \leq \nu _1\) and \(c {\lt} - \nu _1/2\pi \), then there exists \(C\) such that for all \(\nu \in [\nu _0, \nu _1]\), \(\Im z \leq c\) one has \(|\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z)| \leq C (|z|+1)\).
Similar to previous lemma.
For real \(t\), \(B^+(t)\) is increasing.
For all \(t \neq 0\), by the identities \(2\cosh \frac{t}{2}\sinh \frac{t}{2} = \sinh t\) and \(2\sinh ^2\frac{t}{2} = \cosh t - 1\),
Since \(e^u\) is convex, \(e^u \geq 1 + u\) for all \(u \in \mathbb {R}\). We apply this inequality with \(u = t\) and \(u = -t\) and obtain the conclusion for \(t \neq 0\). Since \(B^{\pm }(t)\) is continuous at \(t = 0\), we are done. .
For real \(t\), \(B^-(t)\) is decreasing.
Similar to previous. .
By the definition of the Fourier transform, and the fact that \(\varphi ^{\pm }_{\nu }\) is supported on \([-1,1]\).
If \(x {\lt} 0\), then
Since \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z) \pm \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z)\) has no poles in the upper half plane, we can shift contours upwards, as we may: for \(\Im z \to \infty \), \(e(-zx) = e^{-2\pi i z x}\) decays exponentially on \(\Im z\), while, by Lemma 1.3, \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z) \pm \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z)\) grows at most linearly, and so the contribution of a moving horizontal segment goes to \(0\) as \(\Im z \to \infty \).
For any integer \(m\),
This follows from the \(\pi i\)-periodicity of coth.
For any integer \(m\),
Follows from previous lemma.
If \(x {\lt} 0\), then \(\widehat{\varphi ^{\pm }_{\nu }}(x)\) equals
We have \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z) - \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z) = -\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z+1)\) and \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z) + \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z) = \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z-1)\), and so the formula in the previous lemma simplifies to
If \(x {\gt} 0\), then
We would like to integrate along \(\Re z = 0\), but \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z)\) has a pole at \(z = -\frac{i\nu }{2\pi }\); when dealing with this issue, we have to take care not to introduce poles on the lines \(\Re z = -1\) and \(\Re z = 1\) by separating \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }\) and \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }\) prematurely. As \(\Im z \to -\infty \), \(e(-zx) = e^{-2\pi i z x}\) decays exponentially on \(\Im z\), while, by Lemma 1.3, \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z) \pm \Phi ^{\pm ,\star }_{\nu }(z)\) grows at most linearly.
since the pole is at \(-\frac{i\nu }{2\pi }\), the residue of \(\Phi ^{\pm ,\circ }_{\nu }(z)\) at the pole is \(\frac{i}{2\pi }\), and our path goes clockwise. .
Again by Cauchy’s theorem and decay as \(\Im z \to -\infty \)
Similar to previous.
If \(x {\gt} 0\), then \(\widehat{\varphi ^{\pm }_{\nu }}(x) - e^{-\nu x}\) equals
Let \(\nu {\gt} 0\), \(x {\lt} 0\). Then
This follows from the previous lemma.
Let \(\nu {\gt} 0\), \(x {\gt} 0\). Then
This follows from the previous lemma.
