Sums of four prime cubes in short intervals

Number Theory 2019-09-16 v3

Abstract

We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers n=p13+p23+p33+p43n=p_{1}^{3}+p_{2}^{3}+p_{3}^{3}+p_{4}^{3}, where p1,p2,p3,p4p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4 are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the the ones previously known.

Unconditional result improved by using a Robert-Sargos estimate (lemmas 6-7); more detailed proof of Lemma 5 inserted. Correction of a typo. 10 pages
