چکیده

Abstract: We present three remarks on Goldbach’s problem. First we suggest a refinement of Hardy and Littlewood’s conjecture for the number of representations of 2n as the sum of two primes positing an estimate with a very small error term. Next we show that if a strong form of Goldbach’s conjecture is true then every even integer is the sum of two primes from a rather sparse set of primes. Finally we show that an averaged strong form of Goldbach’s conjecture is equivalent to the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis; as well as a similar equivalence to estimates for the number of ways of writing integers as the sum of k primes.

Generalized Riemann Hypothesis

(Generalized) Riemann Hypothesis (that all non-trivial zeros of the (Dirichlet L-function) zeta function have real part one-half) is arguably the most important unsolved problem in contemporary mathematics due to its deep relation to the fundamental building blocks of the integers, the primes. The proof of the Riemann hypothesis will immediately verify a slew of dependent theorems ([BRW], [SA])...

Conjecture [1]

In this paper we have described in the Section 1 some equations and theorems concerning the Circle Method applied to the Goldbach’s Conjecture. In the Section 2, we have described some equations and theorems concerning the Circle Method to investigate Germain primes by the Major arcs. In the Section 3, we have described some equations concerning the equivalence between the Goldbach’s Conjecture...

A New Measure of the Difficulty of Problems

Guessing the degree of difficulty of a problem before seeing its solution is notoriously hard not only for beginners, but also for the most experienced professionals. Can we develop a method to evaluate, in some objective way, the difficulty of an open problem? This note proposes such a measure which can be used for a fairly large class of finitely refutable conjectures which includes, for exam...

Evaluating the Complexity of Mathematical Problems: Part 2

In this paper we present an implementation of the computational method in [1] that allows ranking mathematical statements by their complexity. We introduce the complexity classes ICU,iMi¥1, and, accordingly, show that Legendre’s conjecture, Fermat’s last theorem, and Goldbach’s conjecture are in CU,1, Dyson’s conjecture is in CU,2, the Riemann hypothesis is in CU,3, and the four color theorem i...

A Study of Goldbach's conjecture and Polignac's conjecture equivalence issues

The famous Goldbach’s conjecture and Polignac’s conjecture are two of all unsolved problems in the field of number theory today. As well known, the Goldbach’s conjecture and the Polignac’s conjecture are equivalent. Most of the literatures does not introduce about internal equivalence in Polignac’s conjecture. In this paper, we would like to discuss the internal equivalence to the Polignac’s co...
