The ternary Goldbach conjecture is true
read the original abstract
The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or strong, Goldbach conjecture had their origin in an exchange of letters between Euler and Goldbach in 1742. We will follow an approach based on the circle method, the large sieve and exponential sums. Some ideas coming from Hardy, Littlewood and Vinogradov are reinterpreted from a modern perspective. While all work here has to be explicit, the focus is on qualitative gains. The improved estimates on exponential sums are proven in the author's papers on major and minor arcs for Goldbach's problem. One of the highlights of the present paper is an optimized large sieve for primes. Its ideas get reapplied to the circle method to give an improved estimate for the minor-arc integral.

A density version of quaternary Goldbach problem
If four subsets of primes satisfy underline delta(P1) + underline delta(P2) > 1 and underline delta(P3) + underline delta(P4) > 1, then every sufficiently large even n is the sum of one prime from each subset, and the...
