Extract

The purpose of this paper is to give a short proof of an important recent theorem of Bombieri [2] on the mean value of the remainder term in the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions. Applications of the theorem have been made by Bombieri and Davenport [3], Rodriques [9], and Elliott and Halberstam [5]. For earlier versions of the theorem and a survey of other applications, see Barban [1], and Halberstam and Roth [7, Chapter 4].
