Multiplication Tables for Integers with Restricted Prime Factors
Jeremy Schlitt
Abstract
Let $Q$ be a set of primes with relative density $δ$. We count integers in $[1,x]$ with prime factors all in $Q$ that also have a divisor in $(y,2y]$. We establish the order of magnitude for all $δ\in (0,1]$. This generalizes the case $δ= 1$ from the 2008 work of Ford. We also show that there is a phase transition at the critical point $δ= 1/\log 4$, for which we explicitly determine the behaviour.
