On the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem

James Maynard (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

The Brun-Titchmarsh theorem shows that the number of primes which are less than x and congruent to a modulo q is less than (C+o(1))x/(ϕ(q)logx) for some value C depending on logx/logq. Different authors have provided different estimates for C in different ranges for logx/logq, all of which give C>2 when logx/logq is bounded. We show that one can take C=2 provided that logx/logq ≥ 8 and q is sufficiently large. Moreover, we also produce a lower bound of size x / ( q 1 / 2 ϕ ( q ) ) when logx/logq ≥ 8 and is bounded....
