Abstract
AbstractThe original Gelfond–Schnirelman method, proposed in 1936, uses polynomials with integer coefficients and small norms on [0, 1] to give a Chebyshev-type lower bound in prime number theory. We study a generalization of thismethod for polynomials inmany variables. Ourmain result is a lower bound for the integral of Chebyshev's ψ-function, expressed in terms of the weighted capacity. This extends previous work of Nair and Chudnovsky, and connects the subject to the potential theory with external fields generated by polynomial-type weights. We also solve the corresponding potential theoretic problem, by finding the extremal measure and its support.
