Abstract
In this paper we establish a new explicit upper and lower bound for the -th prime number, which improve the currently best estimates given by Dusart in 2010. As the main tool we use some recently obtained explicit estimates for the prime counting function. A further main tool is the usage of estimates concerning the reciprocal of . As an application we derive refined estimates for in terms of , where is Chebyshev's -function.
