Abstract
We prove a version of the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions that is uniform enough to deduce the Siegel-Walfisz theorem, Hoheisel's asymptotic for intervals of length , a Brun-Titchmarsh bound, and Linnik's bound on the least prime in an arithmetic progression as corollaries. Our proof uses the Vinogradov-Korobov zero-free region, a log-free zero density estimate, and the Deuring-Heilbronn zero repulsion phenomenon. Improvements exist when the modulus is sufficiently powerful.
