Abstract: We deal with the distribution of the fractional parts of $p^{lambda}$, $p$ running over the prime numbers and $lambda$ being a fixed real number lying in the interval $(0,1)$. Roughly speaking, we study the following question: Given a real $heta$, how small may $delta>0$ be choosen if we suppose that the number of primes $pleN$ satisfying $p^{lambda}-heta<delta$ is close to the expected one? We improve some results of Balog and Harman on this question for $lambda<5/66$ if $heta$ is rational and for $lambda<1/5$ if $heta$ is irrational. Our improvement is based on incorporating the zero detection argument into Harman's method and on using new mean value estimates for products of shifted and ordinary (unshifted) Dirichlet polynomials.
