Abstract: Let $Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, $x$ real and $2leqyleqx$. This paper improves the estimate on the exponential sum over primes in short intervals [ S_k(x,y;alpha) = sum_{x< n leq x+y} Lambda(n) eleft( n^k alpha ight) ] when $kgeq3$ for $alpha$ in the minor arcs. And then combined with the Hardy--Littlewood circle method, this enables us to investigate the Waring--Goldbach problem of representing a positive integer $n$ as the sum of $s$ $k$th powers of almost equal prime numbers, which improves the results in Wei and Wooley [12].
