We determine the behavior of multiplicative functions vanishing at a positive proportion of prime numbers in almost all short intervals. Furthermore we quantify "almost all" with uniform power-saving upper bounds, that is, we save a power…

It is shown that every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of two primes and exactly 13 powers of 2. Under the Generalized Rieman Hypothesis one can replace 13 by 7. Unlike previous work on this problem, the proof avoids numerical…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…

Let $k \ge 2$ and $s$ be positive integers, and let $n$ be a large positive integer subject to certain local conditions. We prove that if $s \ge k^2+k+1$ and $\theta > 31/40$, then $n$ can be expressed as a sum $p_1^k + \dots + p_s^k$,…

We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…

It is conjectured that every integer N>454 is the sum of seven nonnegative cubes. We prove the conjecture when N is congruent to 2 mod 4. This result, together with a recent proof for 4|N, shows that the conjecture is true for all even N.

It is shown, subject to the abc-conjecture, that \[\sum_{n\le N}\exp(2\pi i\alpha n^3)\ll_{\epsilon,\alpha}N^{5/7+\epsilon}\] for any $\epsilon>0$ and any quadratic irrational $\alpha$.

In 1951, Linnik proved the existence of a constant $K$ such that every sufficiently large even number is the sum of two primes and at most $K$ powers of 2. Since then, this style of approximation has been considered for problems similar to…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ denote the set of integers $n$ that can be represented as the sum $n = x^2 + y^2$ with $(x,y) = 1$. Let $a$ and $b$ be integers with $a>0$, $a \nmid b$. We show that for sufficiently large positive integer $N$ there are…

Let $R(N)$ be the number of representations of $N$ as a sum of a prime and a square-full number weighted with logarithmic function. In $2024$, the author and Y. Suzuki obtained an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R(N)$ over positive…

Let $\mathfrak{B}$ denote the collection of odd primitive Gaussian integers and $n\mapsto b(n)$ denote the characteristic function of elements of $\mathfrak{B}$. We prove that the exponential sum $ S(\alpha; N)=\sum_{n\le…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. A positive integer $n$ is $k$-\textit{gleeful} if $n$ can be represented as the sum of $k$th powers of consecutive primes. For example, $35=2^3+3^3$ is a $3$-gleeful number, and $195=5^2+7^2+11^2$ is $2$-gleeful.…

For every even integer N, denote by D_{1,2}(N) the number of representations of N as a sum of a prime and an integer having at most two prime factors. In this paper, we give a new lower bound for D_{1,2}(N).

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

In this paper, we study how short an interval $[x, x + x^\theta]$ contains an integer of the form $n_1 n_2 n_3$ and $m_1 m_2 m_3 m_4$ with $n_1 \approx n_2 \approx n_3$ and $m_1 \approx m_2 \approx m_3 \approx m_4$. The new idea is to adopt…

We generalize two well-known enumerative facts. The first, due to Clebsch, says that a general binary sextic form is expressible as the sum of a cube and a square in 40 different ways. The second, due to Zariski and later Vakil, states that…

Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

In this article we will show $2$ different proofs for the fact that there exist relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ such that: $a^2+ab+b^2=7^n$.

Let $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ be a representation function for the sum of a prime and a square-full number. In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ over positive integers $N$ in a short…

We improve some results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$ and $n=p^{\ell_1} + m^{\ell_2}$, where $\ell_1, \ell_2\ge 2$ are…
