Abstract

Let A(n) be the von Mangoldt function, x real and 2 ≤ y ≤ x. This paper improves the estimate on the exponential sum over primes in short intervals. Sk(x,y;α)=∑x<n≤x+y A(n)e(nkα) when k≥ 4 for all α ∈ [0, 1]. And then combined with the Hardy-Littlewood method, this enables us to give some short interval variants of Hua's theorems in additive prime number theory.
