Résumé
A Beurling number system generalizes the multiplicative structure of the classical primes and integers. It consists of a non-decreasing unbounded sequence of real numbers {pj}j=1 with p1>1, called the generalized primes, and the sequence of generalized integers {nk}k=0 which consists of the number 1 and all possible products of (powers of) the pj. With such a system, one associates counting functions π(x) and N(x), counting the number of generalized primes and integers, respectively, below x. The primes satisfy the PNT if π(x)x/logx, and the integers have a density if N(x)ρx for some positive ρ. If in these relations one has an error term of the form O(xa) for some a<1, one calls the primes or integers well-behaved.
In this talk, I will discuss various properties of these classes of Beurling systems, including extremal examples and omega results. I also discuss systems for which the primes and integers are simultaneously well-behaved. Finally, I will talk about some open problems.
