We are standing on the shoulders of giants, indeed.
My Erdös number is 3 via
Risager-Blomer-Harcos-Erdös
Risager-Petridis-Murty-Erdös
Risager-Rudnick-Granville-Erdös
Risager-Shparlinski-Alon-Erdös
as well as seveal other paths. In fact according to this site my above immediate collaborators all, as of April 2025, have Erdös number 2 with respective multiplicities 4 (Blomer), 1 (Petridis), 1 (Rudnick), 12 (Shparlinski), so my Erdös number is 3 with multiplicity 18.
