Number Theory 2012-02-16 v1

Abstract

Comparative prime number theory is the study of the {\em{discrepancies}} of distributions when we compare the number of primes in different residue classes. This work presents a list of the problems being investigated in comparative prime number theory, their generalizations, and an extensive list of references on both historical and current progresses.

Comments

37 pages, this work was also supposed to include a large section on the error term of $\pi(x)-\li(x)$, hence the reference list is more comprehensive than what is required
