Obviously, we have<br />

S(∆) := �<br />

n, r ∼ Y,<br />

|t| ≤ ∆<br />

Combining (7) and (8), we obtain <strong>the</strong> desired estimate. ✷<br />

To optimize <strong>the</strong> estimate in Lemma 4, we choose<br />

1.<br />

S(∆) ≪ ∆Y 2−λ + Y. (8)<br />

Qh := 1 + �<br />

Then, by a short calculati<strong>on</strong> using J ≤ H = N t and XY = N, we obtain<br />

Lemma 5: We have<br />

�<br />

h≤H<br />

This implies<br />

|Lh| 2 ≪ �<br />

Lemma 6: For every sufficiently sm<str<strong>on</strong>g>all</str<strong>on</strong>g> fixed η > 0 we have<br />

Heath-Brown established <strong>the</strong> following two estimates for Kh (see [11, pages 261-262]).<br />
