density hypothesis

For nZ1n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1} let Λ(n)=logp\Lambda(n)=\log p if n=pkn=p^{k} for some prime pp and integer k1k\geq 1, and Λ(n)=0\Lambda(n)=0 otherwise, and let φ\varphi denote the Euler totient function. For real y0y\geq 0 and integers q1q\geq 1, aa, put

ψ(y;q,a)=nynamodqΛ(n).\psi (y;q,a)=\sum _{n\leq y \atop n\equiv a{\bmod {q}}}\Lambda (n).

Let A>0A>0. Then there is a constant C=C(A)C=C(A) such that for all real x2x\geq 2 and all real QQ with

x1/2logAxQx1/2,x^{1/2}\log ^{-A}x\leq Q\leq x^{1/2},

one has

qQ maxyx max1aq(a,q)=1ψ(y;q,a)yφ(q)  Cx1/2Q(logx)5,\sum _{q\leq Q}\ \max _{y\leq x}\ \max _{1\leq a\leq q \atop (a,q)=1}\left|\psi (y;q,a)-{y \over \varphi (q)}\right|\ \leq \ C\,x^{1/2}Q(\log x)^{5},

the outer sum being over integers qq with 1qQ1\leq q\leq Q.
