Abstract

Let g1,,gMg_1, \dots , g_M be additive functions for which there exist nonconstant polynomials G1,,GMG_1, \dots , G_M satisfying gi(p)=Gi(p)g_i(p) = G_i(p) for all primes pp and all i{1,,M}i \in \{1, \dots , M\}. Under fairly general and nearly optimal hypotheses, we show that the functions g1,,gMg_1, \dots , g_M are jointly equidistributed among the residue classes to moduli qq varying uniformly up to a fixed but arbitrary power of logx\log x. Thus, we obtain analogues of the Siegel-Walfisz Theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions, but with primes replaced by values of such additive functions. Our results partially extend work of Delange from fixed moduli to varying moduli, and also generalize recent work done for a single additive function.
