Large deviations of the limiting distribution in the Shanks-Rényi prime number race

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let q≥3q\geq 3, 2≤r≤ϕ(q)2\leq r\leq ϕ(q) and a1,...,ara_1,...,a_r be distinct residue classes modulo qq that are relatively prime to qq. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Grand Simplicity Hypothesis, M. Rubinstein and P. Sarnak showed that the vector-valued function Eq;a1,...,ar(x)=(E(x;q,a1),...,E(x;q,ar)),E_{q;a_1,...,a_r}(x)=(E(x;q,a_1),..., E(x;q,a_r)), where E(x;q,a)=log⁡xx(ϕ(q)π(x;q,a)−π(x))E(x;q,a)= \frac{\log x}{\sqrt{x}}(ϕ(q)π(x;q,a)-π(x)), has a limiting distribution μq;a1,...,arμ_{q;a_1,...,a_r} which is absolutely continuous on Rr\mathbb{R}^r. Under the same assumptions, we determine the asymptotic behavior of the large deviations $μ_{q;a_1,...,a_r}(||\vx||>V)$ for different ranges of VV, uniformly as q→∞.q\to\infty.
