Number of primes <n3< n^3

formal-conjectures · oeis · ams-11

Number of primes strictly less than $n^3$.

Conjecture (i): for any integer $k > 2$, the sequence $\pi(n^k)/n^k$ ($n = 2, 3, \ldots$) is strictly
decreasing, where $\pi(x)$ denotes the number of primes not exceeding $x$.

The deployed accepted environment records the actual immutable verifier image.

Research discussions are not verified proofs. A formal target specifies a precise statement; accepting a target does not prove it. Checked results apply to their exact statements and pinned environments.
