The number of primes p ≤ N lying in the arithmetic progression a (mod q), i.e. π(N; q, a) = #{ p ≤ N : p prime, p ≡ a (mod q) }.

Instances For

    Discrepancy of the distribution of primes modulo q at scale N: Δ_q(N) = sup_{(a, q) = 1} |π(N; q, a) − π(N) / φ(q)|. It measures how far the counting function on each invertible residue class deviates from the expected value π(N)/φ(q).

      The Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem (Rényi, Bombieri–Vinogradov): for every ε > 0 and A > 0, there is a constant C > 0 such that for all N ≥ 2, ∑_{q ≤ N^{1/2 − ε}} Δ_q(N) ≤ C · N · (log N)^{−A}. On average over moduli q up to roughly √N, the primes in arithmetic progressions are as equidistributed as predicted by the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
