In this paper, we establish hybrid results on Diophantine approximation with primes from short intervals. In particular, we prove the following result in a slightly modified form: If α is an irrational number having a continued fraction expansion with bounded terms (in particular, if α is a quadratic irrational), then the number of primes p in the interval (X – Y, X] satisfying ∥pα∥ < δ is asymptotically equal to 2δY/log X, provided that X ≥ 10, X 2/3+ε ≤ Y ≤ X/2 and X ε max X 1/4 Y −1/2, X 2/3 Y −1 ≤ δ ≤ 1/2.
Baier et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
