Extract

In [1], P. X. Gallagher introduced a new sieve which is designed to produce better estimates than the large sieve when a vast number of congruence classes are chosen for each of the sieving primes. By making more explicit use of the principles underlying the sieve, these estimates can be improved and generalized to the case of complex quadratic fields. We shall see that the resulting estimates are best possible, if there are only a bounded number of unsieved classes per prime.
