Restriction theory of the Selberg sieve, with applications

Ben Green, Terence Tao (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

The Selberg sieve provides majorants for certain arithmetic sequences, such as the primes and the twin primes. We prove an L 2 L p restriction theorem for majorants of this type. An immediate application is to the estimation of exponential sums over prime k -tuples. Let a 1 , , a k and b 1 , , b k be positive integers. Write h ( θ ) : = n X e ( n θ ) , where X is the set of all n N such that the numbers a 1 n + b 1 , , a k n + b k are all prime. We obtain upper bounds for h L p ( 𝕋 ) , p > 2 , which are (conditionally on the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture) of the correct order...
