A hybrid of two theorems of Piatetski-Shapiro (Q2416347): Difference between revisions

Let \(0\leq\gamma\leq 1\) and let \[\mathcal N_{\gamma}=\{n\in\mathbb N| n=\lfloor m^{1/\gamma}\rfloor \;\; \text{for some}\;\; m\in\mathbb N\}.\] Following \textit{I. I. Piatetski-Shapiro} [Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 30(72), 105--120 (1952; Zbl 0047.28001)] the authors consider solubility in primes \(p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_s\) of the inequality \[|p_1^c+p_2^c+\ldots +p_s^c-N|\leq \varepsilon,\] where the exponent \(c\) is not an integer, \(\varepsilon\) is a fixed small positive number and \(N\) is a large real. Let \(c\geq 5\) not an integer, \(1-\rho\leq\gamma\leq 1\), where \(\rho=(8c^2+12c+12)^{-1}\). The main result states that for \(s \ge 4c\log c+\frac{4}{3}c+10\) and for sufficiently large \(N\) the inequality \[|p_1^c+p_2^c+\ldots +p_s^c-N|\leq (\log N)^{-1}\] has solutions in prime numbers \(p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_s\) belonging to \(\mathcal N_{\gamma}\). For \(s=2,3,4\) special statements are proved.
