Exponential sums over cubes of primes in short intervals and its applications (Q2231126)

Let \(\Lambda(n)\) be the von Mangoldt function, \(2 \leq y \leq x\), and \(e(z)=e^{2\pi iz}\). In the paper under review the authors obtain bounds for exponential sums over cubes of primes of the form \[ f(\alpha;x,y)=\sum_{x<n\leq x+y}\Lambda(n)\,e^{2\pi i\alpha n^3}, \] with \(y=x^\theta\) and \(\theta\in(8/9,1]\). The authors provide an application regarding the representations of a large integer \(n\) as the sum of almost equal cubes of primes.
