The short-interval prime conjecture

From papers

For a real number θ>0\theta>0 and sufficiently large xx, the interval [x,x+xθ][x,x+x^\theta] contains a prime number. The short-interval prime conjecture. Given θ>0\theta>0, for all sufficiently large xx, the interval

[x,x+xθ][x,x+x^\theta]

contains a prime number. This is a conjecture from prime number theory; the source notes that it is known for all θ>0.525\theta>0.525, while the paper assumes it in proving its main theorem.
