Abstract

Let AA be a subset of primes up to xx. If we assume AA is well-distributed (in the Siegel-Walfisz sense) in any arithmetic progressions to moduli q(logx)cq\leqslant(\log x)^c for any c>0c>0, then the sumset A+AA+A has density 1/2 in the natural numbers as xx tends to infinity, which also yields almost all even positive integers could be represented as the sums of two primes in AA as xx tends to infinity. This result, improving the previous results in such special case, could be compared with the classical estimation for the exceptional set of binary Goldbach problem.
