Abstract

TO BE PUBLISHED BY ISRAEL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS. We study the mean xXpNupe(xp)\sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}} \bigl|\sum_{p\le N}{}u_p e(xp)\bigr|^{\ell} when \ell covers the full range [2,)[2,\infty) and XR/Z\mathcal{X}\subset\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z} is a {well-spaced} set, providing a smooth transition from the case =2\ell=2 to the case >2\ell>2 and improving on the results of J.~Bourgain and of B.~Green and T.~Tao. A uniform Hardy-Littlewood property for the set of primes is established as well as a sharp upper bound for xXpNupe(xp)\sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}} \bigl|\sum_{p\le N}{}u_p e(xp)\bigr|^{\ell} when X\mathcal{X} is small. These results are extended to primes in \emph{any} interval in a last section, provided the primes are numerous enough therein.
