We then use these estimates to derive a new (conditional) lower bound on the variance of the primes in short intervals, and also on the so-called `form factor' for the pair correlations of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Our bounds ultimately rely on the estimates of Bettin--Chandee for trilinear Kloosterman fractions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-12T11:39:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "distributions", "selberg sieve weights", "riemann zeta function", "trilinear kloosterman fractions", "lower bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
