Higher Order Dualities between Prime Ideals

Abstract

Extending the works of Alladi and Sweeting and Woo, we state and prove the general higher order duality between prime ideals in number rings. We then use the second order duality to obtain the a new formula for the Chebotarev Density involving sums of the generalized M\"obius function and the prime ideal counting function. We also provide two estimates of such sums as an application of the duality identity. A discussion of the duality in a slightly more general setting is done at the end.
