## Generalized Bombieri-Vinogradov theorems in short intervals. (Théorèmes généralisés de Bombieri-Vinogradov dans les petits intervalles.)(French)Zbl 0801.11038

The usual form of the well-known Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem states that for any fixed $$A>0$$ there exists a constant $$B= B(A) >0$$ such that the bound $\sum_{q\leq Q} \max_{(a,q)=1} \max_{z\leq x} |\psi (z;q,a)- z/\varphi (q)| \ll_ A x(\log x)^{-A}$ holds with $$Q= x^{1/2} (\log x)^{-B}$$. Among the many generalizations of this theorem is one by Ding and Pan [C. D. Pan, Recent progress in analytic number theory, Durham 1979, Vol. 1, 275–287 (1981; Zbl 0462.10032)] in which the differences $$\psi(z; q,a)- z/ \varphi(q)$$ are replaced by averages of the form $\sum_{l\leq x^{1-\varepsilon}} g(l) \Biggl\{ \sum _{\substack{ nl\leq z\\ nl\equiv a\pmod q }} \Lambda(n)- {{z/l} \over {\varphi(q)}} \Biggr\},$ where $$g(l)$$ is an arbitrary weight function satisfying $$g(l)\ll 1$$.
In the paper under review, the author proves an analogous generalization of a short interval Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem due to A. Perelli, J. Pintz and S. Salerno [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 11, 529–539 (1984; Zbl 0579.10019)]. He applies this result to obtain the following localized version of Chen’s theorem: For any $$\theta$$ satisfying $$0.974\leq \theta\leq 1$$ and all sufficiently large $$x$$, there are $$\gg x^ \theta/ \log^ 2 x$$ primes $$p$$ in the interval $$(x,x+ x^ \theta]$$ such that $$p+2$$ has at most two prime factors.
