Large deviations of the limiting distribution in the Shanks-Rényi prime number race

Abstract: Let

q g e q 3

,

2 l e q r l e q p h i (q)

and

a_{1}, ..., a_{r}

be distinct residue classes modulo

q

that are relatively prime to

q

. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Grand Simplicity Hypothesis, M. Rubinstein and P. Sarnak showed that the vector-valued function

E_{q; a_{1}, ..., a_{r}} (x) = (E (x; q, a_{1}), ..., E (x; q, a_{r})),

where

E (x; q, a) = f r a c l o g x s q r t x (p h i (q) p i (x; q, a) - p i (x))

, has a limiting distribution

m u_{q; a_{1}, ..., a_{r}}

which is absolutely continuous on

m a t h b b R^{r}

. Under the same assumptions, we determine the asymptotic behavior of the large deviations

m u_{q; a_{1}, ..., a_{r}} (| | v x | | > V)

for different ranges of

V

, uniformly as

q o i n f t y .
