Title: An elementary Tauberian proof of the Prime Number Theorem

Abstract: We give a simple Tauberian proof of the Prime Number Theorem using only elementary real analysis. Hence, the analytic continuation of Riemann's zeta function $\zeta$ and its non-vanishing value on the whole line $\{z\in {\mathbb C};\,{\mathrm{Re}\,} z=1\}$ are no more required. This is achieved by showing a strong extension for Laplace transforms on the real line of Wiener--Ikehara's theorem on Dirichlet's series, where the Tauberian assumption is reduced to a local boundary behavior around the pole.
