What the paper claims, in its own words
Proves that the normalized ordered logarithms of the prime factors of , counted with multiplicity, converge jointly to the Poisson–Dirichlet law as p ranges uniformly over primes up to x and . This resolves the Ford–Konyagin–Luca conjecture. It also proves that infinitely many integers n have more than totient preimages, for every ε > 0.
