A Graph Theoretic Formula for the Number of Primes $\pi(n)$
2020
Let PR$[n]$ be the graph whose vertices are $2,3,\ldots,n$ with vertex $v$ adjacent to vertex $w$ if and only if $\gcd(v,w)>1$. It is shown that $\pi(n)$, the the number of primes no more than $n$, equals the Lovasz number of this graph. This result suggests new avenues for graph-theoretic investigations of number-theoretic problems.
