Extract

The purpose of this paper is to give a new and improved version of Linnik's large sieve, with some applications. The large sieve has its roots in the Hardy-Littlewood method, and in its most general form it may be considered as an inequality which relates a singular series arising from an integral where S(α) is any exponential sum, to the integral itself.
