Does the concept of density of primes in the integers extend easily to other structures with the concept of a prime? In particular, is the notion of density of Eisenstein primes meaningful, and if so, how does this density compare to the integers? What about other quadratic rings?

This question is out of personal curiosity. I wanted to see how others before me more experienced had thought about it.

This is basic algebraic number theory. Look up Chebotarev density theorem for a very general result. I'm voting to close. – Felipe Voloch Aug 8 2011 at 20:21
There's a general version of the prime number theorem for prime ideals in the ring of integers of any number field. Is that what you had in mind? – Joe Silverman Aug 8 2011 at 20:22

Seems like a fine question for math.stackexchange.com – quid Aug 8 2011 at 21:19
