The bounded lattice-points-in-arcs conjecture for circles

About 20 years old · traced to

For R>0R>0, consider the lattice points on the circle

{(x,y)∈Z2:x2+y2=R2}.\{(x,y)\in\mathbb Z^2:x^2+y^2=R^2\}.

The circle-arc conjecture. The number of these lattice points in any arc of length R1−ϵR^{1-\epsilon} is bounded uniformly in RR. The source states the equivalent short-interval formulation for representations as sums of two squares and notes that the result is known only for shorter arcs.
