In the article under review, the authors construct normal numbers by using the sequence of primes in residue classes. This involves exponential sum estimates of various kinds. We call that a real number is normal (with respect to base \(q\)) if in its \(q\)-ary expansion every block of \(k\) digits occurs with the expected asymptotic frequency \(q^{-k}\). Their main result shows that if \(f\) is a polynomial of degree \(\geq1\) with real coefficients but with leading coefficient a rational number or \(f\) is a transcendental entire function having logarithmic order \(\alpha\) with \(1\leq\alpha<4/3\), then the number \[ 0.[f(p_1)]_q[f(p_2)]_qf(p_3)]_q\ldots, \] where \([\cdot]_q\) denotes the \(q\)-ary expansion and \((p_i)_{i\geq1}\) is the sequence of primes \(\equiv\ell\bmod k\), is normal in base \(q\).
