Primes of the form \([n^c]\) with square-free \(n\) (Q6597870)

The prime numbers of the form \(p=[n^c]\) are called Piatetski-Shapiro primes. In the paper under review, the author investigates the existence of infinitely many Piatetski-Shapiro primes \(p=[n^c]\), such that \(n\) or \(n^2+n\) runs through the set of square-free numbers. More precisely, letting \(1<c<\frac{3849}{3334}\) he shows that\N\[\N\sum_{\substack{n\leq x\\ [n^c]=p}}\mu^2(n) =\frac{6}{c\pi^2}\frac{x}{\log x}+O\left(\frac{x}{\log^2x}\right),\N\]\Nand\N\[\N\sum_{\substack{n\leq x\\ [n^c]=p}}\mu^2(n)\mu^2(n+1) =\frac{1}{c}\prod\limits_{p}\left(1-\frac{2}{p^2}\right) \frac{x}{\log x}+O\left(\frac{x}{\log^2x}\right).\N\]\NThe proof is based on the approximations of exponential sums.
