Abstract:
Let  be a primitive positive definite quadratic form with integer coefficients. Then, for all  there exist  such that  is prime and
This is deduced from another result giving an estimate for the number of prime ideals in an ideal class of an imaginary quadratic number field that fall in a given sector and whose norm lies in a short interval.
