Abstract

For a set of primes P, let ψ (x;P) be the number of positive integers n ≤ x all of whose prime factors lie in P. In this paper we classify the sets of primes P such that ψ(x;P) is within a constant factor of its expected value. This task was recently initiated by Granville, Koukoulopoulos and Matomäki [A. Granville, D. Koukoulopoulos and K. Matomäki, When the sieve works, Duke Math. J. 164 2015, 10, 1935-1969] and their main conjecture is proved in this paper. In particular, our main theorem implies that, if not too many large primes are sieved out in the sense that (Equation presented).
