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 kth powers of almost equal prime numbers, which improves the results in Wei and Wooley [12].
