Density of solutions to quadratic congruences

Neha Prabhu (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A classical result in number theory is Dirichlet’s theorem on the density of primes in an arithmetic progression. We prove a similar result for numbers with exactly k prime factors for k > 1 . Building upon a proof by E. M. Wright in 1954, we compute the natural density of such numbers where each prime satisfies a congruence condition. As an application, we obtain the density of squarefree n x with k prime factors such that a fixed quadratic equation has exactly 2 k solutions modulo n .
