According to A. Ivic, The Riemann zeta-function, Wiley, 1985, one
can prove that for y = x^t, t > 13/23 = 0.56521..., there are at
least y / (177 log x) primes between x-y and y, and Iwaniec and Pintz
show that there is a prime between x and x + x^t for t > 23/42 = 0.54761...
The Riemann hypothesis would imply a prime between x and x^(1/2).log x
There is a useful table of previous results in this direction.
