Variance of squarefull numbers in short intervals II

Number Theory 2023-11-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we continue the study on variance of the number of squarefull numbers in short intervals (x,x+2xH+H2](x, x + 2 \sqrt{x} H + H^2] with Xx2XX \le x \le 2X. We obtain the expected asymptotic for this variance over the range XϵHX0.180688...X^\epsilon \le H \le X^{0.180688...} unconditionally and over the optimal range XϵHX0.25ϵX^\epsilon \le H \le X^{0.25 - \epsilon} conditionally on the Riemann Hypothesis or the Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis.
