Prime Support Bernoulli Independence

Abstract

Prime support bits have their power-law Bernoulli marginals inside one mutually independent family.

Theorem 1.1 (Prime support bits are independent Bernoulli variables).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Analytic/ZetaObservation/PrimeSupportBernoulliIndependence.prime_support_bits_independent_bernoulli (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Under the zeta distribution with exponent above one, the support bit at a prime records whether that prime has positive exponent. Its law is Bernoulli with parameter p to the power minus s.

The family statement uses the full prime-indexed independence predicate. It is obtained by mapping the already independent exponent coordinates through the positive-support predicate, so it controls every finite joint cylinder rather than only separate marginals.
