This distance is very small as a function of p, for infinitely many primes p. We give a 14% improvement in the exponent that measures the distance, compared with the most recent result in the literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-19T19:05:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "10J54", "11L20", "11N36" ], "keywords": [ "fractional parts", "nearest integer", "quadratic polynomial", "irrational leading coefficient", "literature" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
