Abstract

We establish lower bounds for all weighted even moments of primes up to X in intervals which are in agreement with a conjecture of Montgomery and Soundararajan. Our bounds hold unconditionally for an unbounded set of values of X, and hold for all X under the Riemann Hypothesis. We also deduce new unconditional Ω-results for the classical prime counting function.
