The set P_M of primes lying in the dyadic interval [M/2, M].
Instances For
Bombieri–Davenport form of the analytic large sieve: for any 1/N-separated set
S ⊆ [0, 1), $\sum_{\xi \in S} |\hat f(\xi)|^2 \le (2N - 1) \sum_n |f(n)|^2$.
Classical large sieve inequality (existence form): there exists a constant C > 0 such
that for any 1/N-separated S ⊆ [0, 1),
$\sum_{\xi \in S} |\hat f(\xi)|^2 \le C N \sum_n |f(n)|^2$.
The Farey set $Q_M = \{\alpha/p : p \in P_M, 1 \le \alpha \le p - 1\}$ of reduced
fractions with prime denominator in P_M.
Instances For
Per-prime bound expressing $\|(\pi_p f)_H\|_{L^2}^2$ via Fourier coefficients of f_H
at fractions α/p for $\alpha = 1, \ldots, p - 1$.
For distinct primes p₁, p₂ ∈ P_M, the corresponding sets of fractions
{α/p : 1 ≤ α ≤ p - 1} are disjoint.
Sums over the Farey set decompose into double sums over (p, α) with p ∈ P_M
and 1 ≤ α ≤ p - 1.
Reduction step: there exists a 1/M^2-separated set S ⊆ [0, 1) (namely the Farey set
Q_M) such that
linnikLHS N M f ≤ (2/M) ∑_{ξ ∈ S} |\widehat{f_H}(ξ)|².
Linnik's large sieve inequality: there exists C > 0 such that for any
f : [N] → ℂ and any M ≤ N^{1/2},
$$\sum_{p \in P_M} \|(\pi_p f)_H\|_{L^2}^2 \lesssim \frac{N}{M} \sum_n |f_H(n)|^2.$$
