We prove quantitative estimates for averages of the von Mangoldt and Möbius functions along polynomial progressions for a large class of polynomials . The error terms obtained save an arbitrary power of logarithm, matching the classical Siegel–Walfisz error term. These results give the first quantitative bounds for the Tao–Ziegler polynomial patterns in the primes result. The proofs are based on a quantitative generalised von Neumann theorem of Peluse, a recent result of Leng on strong bounds for the Gowers uniformity of the primes, and analysis of a ‘Siegel model’ for the von Mangoldt function along polynomial progressions.

We consider equations of the form where the variables are all taken to be primes. We define an analogue of the Hasse principle for solubility in the primes (which we call the prime Hasse principle), and prove that, whenever , , this holds for almost all such equations. This is based on work of Brüdern and Dietmann on the Hasse principle. We then prove some further results about prime solubility and the prime Hasse principle, including a partial converse, and some counterexamples. Of particular interest are counterexamples of degree 2, which show that the analogue of the Hasse–Minkowski theorem fails for prime solubility.

By studying the 2-adic divisibility of Dirichlet -series at negative integers, we derive an asymptotic formula that determines the order of the 2-primary part of even -groups of rings of integers of for sufficiently large . As a corollary, we determine their and invariants. We also establish a lower bound for beyond which this asymptotic formula holds.

(2) We explicitly determine the three Iwasawa invariants for a family of real quadratic number fields, whose discriminants have arbitrarily many prime divisors.
