    The authors resolve function field analogs of conjectures on the variance of the number of prime numbers: (1) in short intervals, and (2) in arithmetic sequences. A careful analysis brings the proof of these analogs to rest upon results of \textit{N. M. Katz} [Convolution and equidistribution. Sato-Tate theorems for finite-field Mellin transforms. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press (2012; Zbl 1261.11084)] for the equidistribution (as the field order \(q \to \infty\)) of the unitarized Frobenius matrices of the respectively appropriate type of Dirichlet character.
