Description:
In this article, we prove a general theorem which establishes the existence of limiting distributions for a wide class of error terms from prime number theory. As a corollary to our main theorem, we deduce previous results of Wintner [On the asymptotic distribution of the remainder term of the prime number theorem, Amer. J. Math. 57 (1935), 534–538], Rubinstein and Sarnak [Chebyshev's bias, Experiment. Math. 3 (1994), 173–197] and of Ng [The summatory function of the Möbius function, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 89 (2004), 361–389]. In addition, we establish limiting distribution results for the error term in the prime number theorem for an automorphic L -function, weighted sums of the Möbius function, weighted sums of the Liouville function, the sum of the Möbius function in an arithmetic progression and the error term in Chebotarev's density theorem.
