The least prime ideal in the Chebotarev Density Theorem

Abstract

In this article, we prove a new bound for the least prime ideal in the Chebotarev density theorem, which improves the main theorem of Zaman [Funct. Approx. Comment. Math. 57 (2017), no.1, 115-142] by a factor of 5/25/2. Our main improvement comes from a new version of Tur\'an's power sum method. The key new idea is to use Harnack's inequality for harmonic functions to derive a superior lower bound for the generalised Fej\'er kernel.
