For odd nnn the local factor of the three primes singular series at p=2p=2p=2 is

S2(n)=1+1(2−1)3=2.\mathfrak S_2(n)=1+\frac{1}{(2-1)^3}=2 .S2​(n)=1+(2−1)31​=2.

The factor 222 is the density gain from the fact that every prime except 222 is odd, so the three summands are forced into the odd residue class, which is half of all residues but carries all the primes.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
