    Expression
Product_{m=1}^{\infty}(1+x^{m}) where the product is extended to all primes. It is a partition function that evaluates only in primes, with square free numbers having a bearing on it. This is seen in Tom Apostol's book "Introduction to Analytic Number Theory" in the section on partition functions.

Let be the expression:

where the product is extended to over all primes.

of course is some kind of generalizating the function which is some partition function..but what happens when is evaluated only in primes?..thanks.

It's \Prod, not \Product.It is some partition into some sets of cardinality a certain kind (square free will have some bearing on it, by the looks of it).

O sorry then i think i saw it as an example inside the Tom Apostol,s book "Introduction to Analytic number theory"..in the part referring to "Partition function"...

Or perhaps \prod, even, and not \Prod.
