## Abstract

We study the distribution of lattice points with prime coordinates lying in the dilate of a convex planar domain having smooth boundary, with nowhere vanishing curvature. Counting lattice points weighted by a von Mangoldt function gives an asymptotic formula, with the main term being the area of the dilated domain, and our goal is to study the remainder term. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we give a sharp upper bound, and further assuming that the positive imaginary parts of the zeros of the Riemann zeta functions are linearly independent over the rationals allows us to give a formula for the value distribution function of the properly normalized remainder term.
