Distribution of primes (11N05)

Abstract: Let $E_k$ be the set of positive integers having exactly $k$ prime factors. We show that almost all intervals $[x,x+lo{g}^{1+varepsilon}x]$ contain $E_3$ numbers, and almost all intervals $[x,x+lo{g}^{3.51}x]$ contain $E_2$ numbers. By this we mean that there are only $o(X)$ integers $1leqxleqX$ for which the mentioned intervals do not contain such numbers. The result for $E_3$ numbers is optimal up to the $varepsilon$ in the exponent. The theorem on $E_2$ numbers improves a result of Harman, which had the exponent $7+varepsilon$ in place of $3.51$. We will also consider general $E_k$ numbers, and find them on intervals whose lengths approach $logx$ as $koinfty$.
