The mantissa distribution of the primorial numbers

Bruno MasséDominique Schneider — 2014

Acta Arithmetica

We show that the sequence of mantissas of the primorial numbers Pₙ, defined as the product of the first n prime numbers, is distributed following Benford's law. This is done by proving that the values of the first Chebyshev function at prime numbers are uniformly distributed modulo 1. We provide a convergence rate estimate. We also briefly treat some other sequences defined in the same way as Pₙ.
