As a corollary to our main theorem, we deduce previous results of Wintner (1935), Rubinstein and Sarnak (1994), and of Ng (2004). In addition, we establish limiting distribution results for the error term in the prime number theorem for an automorphic $L$-function, weighted sums of the M\\\"{o}bius function, weighted sums of the Liouville function, the sum of the M\\\"{o}bius function in an arithmetic progression, and the error term in Chebotarev's density theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-07T09:00:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06", "11M26" ], "keywords": [ "prime number theory", "limiting distribution", "classical error terms", "prime number theorem", "weighted sums" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.1657A" } } }
