Extract

We write e(x) for e2πix and let ‖x‖ denote the distance of x from the nearest integer. The notation AB will mean |A| ≤ C|B| where C is a positive constant depending at most on an arbitrary positive number ε, and on an integer k. The letter p always denotes a prime number. The main results of the present paper are as follows.
