Extract

Let K be an algebraic number field, [K: Q] = κ є N; only the case κ > 1 is of interest in this paper. Let f be any non-zero ideal in ZK, the ring of integers of K, and let b be any ray-class (modx f) of K. In this paper we answer a question of P. Erdös (private communication) about the “maximum-growth-rate” of the functions

and

the sum here taken over all ray-classes (modx f), while N(a) is the absolute norm of a. Let

where, as usual, for x є R, log+ x - log max {1, x}. We prove

THEOREM 1. For every f, b we have
