SWhat changed
Proved infinitely many primes in every coprime arithmetic progression using character-series methods.
Scientific scope
The record is Dirichlet's sole-author 1837 memoir and its infinitude theorem. It does not claim the later prime-number theorem for progressions, asymptotic density estimates or every subsequent development in analytic number theory.
