Abstract

The authors sharpen a result of Baker and Harman (1995), showing that [x, x + x0.525] contains prime numbers for large x. An important step in the proof is the application of a theorem of Watt (1995) on a mean value containing the fourth power of the zeta function. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 11N05.
