Further, a new proof of the lower bound due to Vaughan for the $L^{1}$ norm of an exponential sum with the von Mangoldt $\\Lambda$ function over the primes is furnished. Ramanujan's sum arises naturally in the proof, which also employs Linnik's large sieve.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-19T17:32:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11L03", "11L07", "11L20", "11N36", "42A05" ], "keywords": [ "exponential sum", "employs linniks large sieve", "ramanujans sum arises", "lower bound", "wide class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
