Review text

The author gives a rather simple proof of the classical Wiener-Ikehara Tauberian Theorem. The argument rests on the following principle in Fourier analysis: If we are given two measures of Wiener type whose Fourier transforms differ by a distribution with good local behaviour, then the difference between the measures tends to zero at infinity (in a certain averaged sense). As is well known, the Wiener-Ikehara theorem, combined with the nonvanishing of \(\zeta(s)\) on \(\Re s=1\), provides a quick proof of the Prime Number Theorem.
