Abstract

Let k2k\geq2 and ss be positive integers. Let θ(0,1)\theta\in(0,1) be a real number. In this paper, we establish that if s>k(k+1)s>k(k+1) and θ>0.55\theta>0.55, then every sufficiently large natural number nn, subjects to certain congruence conditions, can be written as n=p1k++psk, n=p_1^k+\cdots+p_s^k, where pi(1is)p_i(1\leq i\leq s) are primes in the interval ((ns)1knθk,(ns)1k+nθk]((\frac{n}{s})^{\frac{1}{k}}-n^{\frac{\theta}{k}},(\frac{n}{s})^{\frac{1}{k}}+n^{\frac{\theta}{k}}]. The second result of this paper is to show that if s>k(k+1)2s>\frac{k(k+1)}{2} and θ>0.55\theta>0.55, then almost all integers nn, subject to certain congruence conditions, have above representation.
