Gaussian almost primes in almost all narrow sectors

Number Theory 2024-08-19 v2

Abstract

We show that almost all sectors of the disc {zC:z2X}\{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z|^2\leq X\} of area (logX)15.1(\log X)^{15.1} contain products of exactly two Gaussian primes, and that almost all sectors of area (logX)1+ε(\log X)^{1 + \varepsilon} contain products of exactly three Gaussian primes. The argument is based on mean value theorems, large value estimates and pointwise bounds for Hecke character sums.
