Abstract

We prove that the set of Farey fractions of order T,that is, the set {α/β ∈ ℚ :gcd(α, β) = 1, 1 ≤ α,β ≤ T}, is uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo a prime p provided T ≥; p1/2+∈ for any fixed ∈ > 0. We apply this to obtain upper bounds for the Lang-Trotter conjectures on Frobenius traces and Frobenius fields "on average" over a one-parametric family of elliptic curves.
