Linnik's approximation to Goldbach's conjecture, and other problems

Number Theory 2015-07-02 v2

Abstract

We examine the problem of writing every sufficiently large even number as the sum of two primes and at most KK powers of 2. We outline an approach that only just falls short of improving the current bounds on KK. Finally, we improve the estimates in other Waring--Goldbach problems.
