Abstract

Let H=Nθ,θ>2/3H = N^{\theta}, \theta > 2/3 and k1k \geq 1. We obtain estimates for the following exponential sum over primes in short intervals: N<nN+HΛ(n)e(g(n)), \sum_{N < n \leq N+H} \Lambda(n) e(g(n)), where gg is a polynomial of degree kk. As a consequence of this in the special case g(n)=αnkg(n) = \alpha n^k, we deduce a short interval version of the Waring-Goldbach problem.
