Definition

Let x be a positive real number, n be a natural number, and a be an integer. The modular first Chebyshev function of x, denoted ϑ(x;n,a) or θ(x;n,a), is defined as:

ϑ(x;n,a)=px,pa(modn)logp,

where the sum is only over the prime numbers less than or equal to x.

The is the modular version of the first Chebyshev function.
