Abstract

Let π(x) denote the number of primes smaller or equal to x. We compare √ π(x) with √ R(x) and √ ℓi(x), where R(x) and ℓi(x) are the Riemann function and the logarithmic integral, respectively. We show a regularity in the distribution of the natural numbers in terms of a phase related to ( √ π − √ R) and indicate how ℓi(x) can cross π(x) for the first time.
