Abstract

Let KK be a fixed number field, and assume that KK is Galois over \qq\qq. Previously, the author showed that when estimating the number of prime ideals with norm congruent to aa modulo qq via the Chebotar\"ev Density Theorem, the mean square error in the approximation is small when averaging over all qQq\le Q and all appropriate aa. In this article, we replace the upper bound by an asymptotic formula. The result is related to the classical Barban-Davenport-Halberstam Theorem in the case K=\qqK=\qq.
