Distribution of primes (11N05)

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel analytic method to prove the prime number theorem in de la Vall'ee Poussin's form: ${\displaystyle }$ pi(x)=operatorname{li}(x)+mathcal O(xe^{-csqrt{log x}}) ${\displaystyle }$ Instead of performing asymptotic expansion on Chebyshev functions as in conventional analytic methods, this new approach uses contour-integration method to analyze Riemann's prime counting function $J(x)$, which only differs from $pi(x)$ by $mathcalO(sqrtx/logx)$.
