finite fields; distribution of irreducible polynomials; residue
Summary:
In this paper we generalize the method used to prove the Prime Number Theorem to deal with finite fields, and prove the following theorem: \[ \pi (x)= \frac q{q - 1}\frac x{{\log _q x}}+ \frac q{(q - 1)^2}\frac x{{\log _q^2 x}}+O\Bigl (\frac {x}{{\log _q^3 x}}\Bigr ),\quad x=q^n\rightarrow \infty \] where $\pi (x)$ denotes the number of monic irreducible polynomials in $F_q [t]$ with norm $ \le x$.
