Supersingular prime (moonshine theory) Supersingular prime (moonshine theory) In the mathematical branch of moonshine theory, a supersingular prime is a prime number that divides the order of the Monster group "M", which is the largest sporadic simple group. There are precisely fifteen supersingular prime numbers: the first eleven primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31), as well as 41, 47, 59, and 71. The non-supersingular primes are 37, 43, 53, 61, 67, and any prime number greater than or equal to 73. All supersingular primes are Chen primes, but 37, 53, and 67 are also Chen primes, and
Prime number theorem Dusart proved: The proof by de la Vallée Poussin implies the following. For every , there is an such that for all , As a consequence of the prime number theorem, one gets an asymptotic expression for the th prime number, denoted by : A better approximation is Again considering the th prime number , this gives an estimate of ; the first 5 digits match and relative error is about 0.00005%. Rosser's theorem states that This can be improved by the following pair of bounds: The table compares exact values of to the two approximations and . The last
