The variance of the number of prime polynomials in short intervals and in residue classes
Abstract
We resolve a function field version of two conjectures concerning the variance of the number of primes in short intervals (Goldston and Montgomery) and in arithmetic progressions (Hooley). A crucial ingredient in our work are recent equidistribution results of N. Katz.
