Discrepancies in the distribution of Gaussian primes

Number Theory 2025-12-01 v3

Abstract

Motivated by questions of Fouvry and Rudnick on the distribution of Gaussian primes, we develop a very general setting in which one can study inequities in the distribution of analogues of primes through analytic properties of infinitely many LL-functions. In particular, we give a heuristic argument for the following claim : for more than half of the prime numbers that can be written as a sum of two square, the odd square is the square of a positive integer congruent to 1mod41 \bmod 4.
