Primes values of $a^2 + p^4$

Number Theory 2015-11-25 v3

Abstract

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the shape a2+p4a^2 +p^4, thereby refining the well known work of Friedlander and Iwaniec. Along the way, we prove a result on equidistribution of primes up to xx, in which the moduli may be almost as large as x2x^2.
