The prime ideal theorem #

The analytic boundary data of the Dedekind zeta function supplies the generic prime-number-theorem transfer with residue one. This gives asymptotics for the three standard counting functions of prime ideals in a number field: Chebyshev's ψ and ϑ, and the unweighted count π.

The prime ideal theorem. For a number field K, Chebyshev's functions satisfy ψ_K(x) ~ x and ϑ_K(x) ~ x, and the number π_K(x) of prime ideals of norm at most x satisfies π_K(x) ~ Li(x).

The prime ideal theorem, in the form π_K(x) ~ x / log x.
