In 1953, Pjateckii˘-S˘apiro has proved that there are infinitely many primes of the form [n^c] for 1 [less than] c [less than] {12\over11} (with an asymptotic result). This range, which measures our progress in the technique of exponential sums, has been improved by many authors. In this paper we obtain 1 [less than] c\leq{243\over205}.
