“…BOMBIERI'S MEAN VALUE THEOREM P. X. GALLAGHER The purpose of this paper is to give a short proof of an important recent theorem of Bombieri [2] on the mean value of the remainder term in the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions. Applications of the theorem have been made by Bombieri and Davenport [3], Rodriques [9], and Elliott and Halberstam [5]. For earlier versions of the theorem and a survey of other applications, see Barban [1], and Halberstam and Roth [7,Chapter 4].…”

“…Actually, Hooley's work was conditional on GRH, but the discovery of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem allowed for this dependence to be removed with minimal changes to Hooley's argument. See [6]. (In the intervening years, Linnik gave an alternative proof of Theorem B [13].)…”

An oft-cited result of Peter Shiu bounds the mean value of a nonnegative multiplicative function over a coprime arithmetic progression. We prove a variant where the arithmetic progression is replaced by a sifted set. As an application, we show that the normalized square roots of −1 (mod m) are equidistributed (mod 1) as m runs through the shifted primes q − 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
