Using this result in conjunction with recent work of Maynard, we prove that Chebotarev primes (determined by a Galois extension $L/\\mathbb{Q}$) exhibit dense clusters in short intervals. We explore several arithmetic applications related to a question of Serre regarding the Fourier coefficients of cuspidal modular forms. These applications include finding dense clusters of fundamental discriminants $ d $ in short intervals for which the central values of $d$-quadratic twists of modular $L$-functions are non-vanishing, or for which $d$-quadratic twists of elliptic curves over $\\mathbb{Q}$ have rank zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-07-07T04:24:25.000Z", "abstract": "We prove a short interval version of the Bombieri-Vinogradov Theorem for Chebotarev sets.
