The local square-energy conjecture in logarithmic intervals

About 20 years old · traced to

For a finite set EE of squares in the short interval

E⊂{k2:N≤k≤N+N/(log⁡N)δ},E\subset\{k^2:N\le k\le N+N/(\log N)^\delta\},

let rE+E(m)r_{E+E}(m) count representations of mm as a sum of two elements of EE. The local energy conjecture. There exists δ>0\delta>0 such that

∑mrE+E2(m)≪∣E∣2.\sum_m r_{E+E}^2(m)\ll |E|^2.

The source introduces this as the special square-polynomial case of the short interval conjectures and states that it remains open.
