Über Vorzeichenwechsel einiger arithmetischer Funktionen. III. (On sign-changes of certain arithmetical functions. III) (Q749608)

Denote by \(V(\Delta_ K,X)\) the number of sign-changes in [0,X] \((X>0)\) of the remainder-term \(\Delta_ K(x)=\psi_ K(x)-x\) of the prime-ideal theorem \(\lim_{x\to \infty} \psi_ K(x)/x=1\), where \(\psi_ K(x)=\sum_{N{\mathfrak p}^ r\leq x}\log N{\mathfrak p}\) stands for the generalized Chebyshev function of an algebraic number field K. With the help of the method of the first two parts of this series [Math. Ann. 283, 139-149, 151-163 (1989; Zbl 0636.10035, Zbl 0636.10036)], on certain conditions, some effective estimates of the kind \(V(\Delta_ K,X)\geq c_ K \log X\) \((X\geq X_ K)\) are obtained, where \(c_ K>0\) and \(X_ K\geq 2\) depend in an explicit way on the parameters of the field K and the zeros of the Dedekind zeta-function \(\zeta_ K\).
