"On the Omega function"

For a natural number n, Ω(n) counts the total number of prime factors of n, honoring their 
multiplicity.
For x ≥ 2, the summatory function of Ω has the following well-known formula:
L Ω(n) = x log log x + B₂x + O   )
n≤x
for some constant B₂. In this talk, I will introduce the notion of h-free and h-full numbers and 
provide
asymptotic formulas for the summatory function of Ω restricted to these numbers. This talk will 
demonstrate
a variety of ideas and results used in analytic number theory to study such summatory functions.
