Abstract

Let γ0=512=0.618\gamma_0=\frac{\sqrt5-1}{2}=0.618\ldots . We prove that, for any ε>0\varepsilon>0 and any trigonometric polynomial ff with frequencies in the set {n2:NnN+Nγ0ε}\{n^2: N \leqslant n\leqslant N+N^{\gamma_0-\varepsilon}\}, the inequality f4ε1/4f2 \|f\|_4 \ll \varepsilon^{-1/4}\|f\|_2 holds, which makes a progress on a conjecture of Cilleruelo and Cordoba. We also present a connection between this conjecture and the conjecture of Ruzsa which asserts that, for any ε>0\varepsilon>0, there is C(ε)>0C(\varepsilon)>0 such that each positive integer NN has at most C(ε)C(\varepsilon) divisors in the interval [N1/2,N1/2+N1/2ε][N^{1/2}, N^{1/2}+N^{1/2-\varepsilon}]
