Cilleruelo–Granville conjecture on lattice points in short arcs

About 16 years old · traced to

Let mm be a positive integer and consider the circle of radius R=mR=\sqrt{m}. An arc is a connected portion of this circle, and lattice points are points of Z2\mathbb{Z}^2 lying on the circle.

Cilleruelo–Granville conjecture. For every δ>0\delta>0, there exists a constant CδC_{\delta} such that every arc of length R1−δR^{1-\delta} contains at most CδC_{\delta} lattice points.

This conjecture concerns uniform bounds for lattice points on arcs whose length is a power strictly below the radius. The supplied text presents it as part of the known and conjectural landscape for short arcs, but gives no resolution.
