"An explicit version of Chebotarev's density theorem"

Chebotarev's density theorem generalizes the prime number theorem and Dirichlet's theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions to the setting of number fields. In particular, it asserts that prime ideals are equidistributed over the conjugacy classes of the Galois group of any given normal extensions of number fields. In this $\pi$-day talk, I will discuss a brief explicit history of the $\pi$-functions and present a variant of the Chebotarev's density theorem where all error terms have been explicitly 
calculated. 

This seminar will be held both online and in person:
