The set of integers which can be written as the sum of four prime cubes has lower density at least $0.009664$. This improves earlier bounds of $0.003125$ by Ren and $0.005776$ by Liu.

Due to the distribution of primes among integers, we establish an upper bound for the probability $\mathbb{P}_n$ that the Goldbach conjecture fails. Assuming the conjecture holds true for all even number less than $2N$, we prove this…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

Let $N$ be a sufficiently large, odd integer. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of $N$ as the sum of three primes, one of which is smaller than a given $U$. By inserting the currently best zero-density…

The Goldbach conjecture states that every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. This conjecture was first proposed by German mathematician Christian Goldbach in 1742 and, despite being obviously true,…

In this paper I introduce a model which allows one to prove Goldbachs hypothesis. The model is produced by studying Goldbach partitions as displayed by an inverted mirror image of all the primes up to some even number equal to the last…

In this paper we show that if $A$ is a subset of Chen primes with positive relative density $\alpha$, then $A+A$ must have positive upper density at least $c\alpha e^{-c^\prime\log(1/\alpha)^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\alpha))^{1/3}}$ in the natural…

We prove versions of Goldbach conjectures for Gaussian primes in arbitrary sectors. Fix an interval $\omega \subset \mathbb{T}$. There is an integer $N_\omega $, so that every odd integer $n$ with $N(n)>N_\omega $ and $\text{dist}(…

We consider the problem of sums of dilates in groups of prime order. We show that given $A\subset \Z{p}$ of sufficiently small density then $$\big| \lambda_{1}A+\lambda_{2}A+...+ \lambda_{k}A \big|…

Let $d(\cdot)$ denote the natural density on the positive integers. We characterize all sets $A,B$ with positive density satisfying $d(A+B)=d(A)+d(B)$, under the assumption that the two sets are not both contained in a proper finite union…

We show that every $N \geq 2$ can be written as the sum of positive integers $a$ and $b$ where $\Omega(ab) \leq 40$. The result is obtained through the direct application of an explicit lower bound Selberg sieve along with some computation…

Let $X$ be a sufficiently large positive integer. We prove that one may choose a subset $S$ of primes with cardinality $O(\log X)$, such that a positive proportion of integers less than $X$ can be represented by $x^2 + p y^2$ for at least…

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).

We consider sets of positive integers containing no sum of two elements in the set and also no product of two elements. We show that the upper density of such a set is strictly smaller than 1/2 and that this is best possible. Further, we…

The famous strongly binary Goldbach's conjecture asserts that every even number $2n \geq 8$ can always be expressible as the sum of two distinct odd prime numbers. We use a new approach to dealing with this conjecture. Specifically, we…

After certain subsets of Natural numbers called Range and Row are defined, we assume (1) there is a function that can produce prime numbers and (2) each even number greater than 2, like A, can be represented as the sum of n prime numbers.…

Let P denote the set of all primes. Suppose that P_1, P_2, P_3 are three subsets of P with the sum of their lower densities relative to P is greater than 2. We prove that for sufficiently large odd integer n, there exist p_i\in P_i such…

We prove that the sumset {p^2+b^2+2^n: p is prime and b,n\in N} has positive lower density. We also construct a residue class with odd modulo, which contains no integer of the form p^2+b^2+2^n. And similar results are established for the…
