The prime number theorem over integers of power-free polynomial values
Abstract
Let be an irreducible polynomial of degree . Let be an integer. The number of integers such that is -free is widely studied in the literature. In principle, one expects that is -free infinitely often, if has no fixed -th power divisor. In 2022, Bergelson and Richter established a new dynamical generalization of the prime number theorem (PNT). Inspired by their work, one may expect that this generalization of the PNT also holds over integers of power-free polynomial values. In this note, we establish such variants of Bergelson and Richter's theorem for several polynomials studied by Estermann, Hooley, Heath-Brown, Booker and Browning.
