Abstract

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of primes px1p\leq x_1, px2p\leq x_2 such that p1(p2+a)l(modq)p_1(p_2+a)\equiv l \pmod q with (a,q)=(l,q)=1(a,q)=(l,q)=1, qxκ0q\leq x^{\kappa_0}, x1x1αx_1\geq x^{1-\alpha}, x2xαx_2\geq x^{\alpha}, κ0=12.5+θ+ε,α[(θ+ε)lnqlnx,12.5lnqlnx], {\kappa}_0=\frac{1}{2.5+\theta+\varepsilon}, \quad \alpha\in \left[(\theta+\varepsilon)\frac{\ln q}{\ln x}, 1-2.5\frac{\ln q}{\ln x}\right], where θ=1/2\theta=1/2, if qq is a cube free and θ=56\theta=\frac{5}{6} otherwise. This is the refinement and generalization of the well-known formula of A.~A.~Karatsuba.\\ Keywords: {Dirichlet character, shifted primes, short sum of characters with primes}\\ Bibliography: 39 references
