We generalize results of Alladi, Dawsey, and Sweeting and Woo for Chebotarev densities to general densities of sets of primes. We show that if K is a number field and S is any set of prime ideals with natural density δ(S) within the primes, thenwhere µ(a) is the generalized Möbius function and D(K, S) is the set of integral ideals a ⊆ OK with unique prime divisor of minimal norm lying in S. Our result can be applied to give formulas for densities of various sets of prime numbers, including those lying in a Sato-Tate interval of a fixed elliptic curve, and those in Beatty sequences such as ⌊πn⌋.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
