Hooley} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 353, 98--131 (1984; Zbl 0539.10019)] conjectured that for every pair of real numbers \\((\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)\\) such that \\(0\\leq \\alpha_1<\\alpha_2\\) there exists \\(c(\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)>0\\) and \\(X(\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)\\) such that,  \\[  S^f(x;\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)\\geq c(\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)x^{1/2} (\\log x)^2 \\]  provided \\(x\\geq X(\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2)\\). The main result of the paper under review is that the conjecture is true if \\(\\alpha_1<3/2\\). The main ingredient in the proof is to transform the problem into a suitable character sum and use the famous Polya-Vinogradov inequality to estimate this sum.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q305146"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1955982"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1944829"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3770609"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3325809"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3909097"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-20T22:18:18Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
