A structure theorem in probabilistic number theory

Abstract

We prove that if two additive functions (from a certain class) take large values with roughly the same probability then they must be identical. This is a consequence of a structure theorem making clear the inter-relation between the distribution of an additive function on the integers, and its distribution on the primes.
