Abstract

We establish an unconditional effective Chebotarev density theorem that improves uniformly over the well-known result of Lagarias and Odlyzko. As a consequence, we give a new asymptotic form of the Chebotarev density theorem that can count much smaller primes with arbitrary log-power savings, even in the case where a Landau-Siegel zero is present. Our main theorem interpolates the strongest unconditional upper bound for the least prime ideal with a given Artin symbol as well as the Chebotarev analogue of the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem proved by the authors. We also present a new application of our main result that exhibits considerable gains over earlier versions of the Chebotarev density theorem. If $f$ is a positive definite primitive binary quadratic form then we count lattice points $(u,v) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ such that $f(u,v)$ is prime and $u, v$ have no prime factors $\leq z$ with uniformity in $z$ and the discriminant of $f$.<br />Comment: 26 pages; v3 intro revised and application added in Sections 6 and 7; typos corrected
