Highly Uniform Prime Number Theorems

Abstract

We prove a highly uniform version of the prime number theorem for a certain class of $L$-functions. The range of $x$ depends polynomially on the analytic conductor, and the error term is expressed in terms of an optimization problem depending explicitly on the available zero-free region. The class contains the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function $L(s,\pi \times \pi')$ associated to cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ and $\pi'$ of $\mathrm{GL}_{m}$ and $\mathrm{GL}_{m'}$, respectively. Our main result implies the first uniform prime number theorems for such $L$-functions (with analytic conductor uniformity) in complete generality.
