Primorial Cofinality
Summary
The primorial tower is cofinal: every ℤ/Nℤ maps to ℤ/Prim(k)ℤ for k large enough. Checking at primorial levels is SUFFICIENT. The cutoff k₀ is always computable.
Statement
%
\label{thm:primorial-cofinality}
The primorial ladder $\{M_k\}_{k \geq 1}$
is cofinal in the full modular tower.
Specifically:
\begin{enumerate}
\item[\textup{(i)}] \textbf{Squarefree divisibility.}
For every squarefree integer~$N$,
there exists $k_0$ such that
$N \mid M_k$ for all $k \geq k_0$.
The cutoff is $k_0 = \pi(p_{\max}(N))$,
where $p_{\max}(N)$ is the largest prime factor of~$N$
and $\pi$ is the prime-counting function.
\item[\textup{(ii)}] \textbf{General divisibility.}
For every positive integer~$N$,
there exists $k_0$ such that the reduction map
$\Z / M_k\Z \to \Z / \mathrm{rad}(N)\Z$
is well-defined for all $k \geq k_0$,
where $\mathrm{rad}(N) = \prod_{p \mid N} p$
is the radical of~$N$.
\item[\textup{(iii)}] \textbf{Inverse limit equivalence.}
The canonical map
\begin{equation}\label{eq:ch14-cofinal-iso}
\widehat{\Z}_\tau
\;=\;
\varprojlim_{k} \Z / M_k\Z
\;\longrightarrow\;
\varprojlim_{N,\, \mathrm{sqfree}} \Z / N\Z
\end{equation}
is an isomorphism of profinite rings.
\end{enumerate}
