In the paper entitled ‘Asymptotic formula in a generalized Waring's problem’, I established an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a large natural number N in the formwhere x1, x2, …, x7 and k are natural numbers with k ≥ 4 (see (2) Theorem 2).

Abstract When {k>1} and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.

AbstractAn asymptotic formula is established for the number of representations of a large integer as the sum of kth powers of natural numbers, in which each representation is counted with a homogeneous weight that de-emphasises the large solutions. Such an asymptotic formula necessarily fails when this weight is excessively light.

A classical conjecture in the additive theory of numbers is that all sufficiently large natural numbers may be written as the sum of four positive cubes of integers. This is known as the Four Cubes Problem, and since the pioneering work of Hardy and Littlewood one expects a much more precise quantitative form of the conjecture to hold. Let v(n) be the number of representations of n in the proposed manner. Then the expected formula takes the shapewhere (n) is the singular series associated with four cubes as familiar in the Hardy–Littlewood theory.

We establish that almost all natural numbers not congruent to 5 modulo 9 are the sum of three cubes and a sixth power of natural numbers, and show, moreover, that the number of such representations is almost always of the expected order of magnitude. As a corollary, the number of representations of a large integer as the sum of six cubes and two sixth powers has the expected order of magnitude. Our results depend on a certain seventh moment of cubic Weyl sums restricted to minor arcs, the latest developments in the theory of exponential sums over smooth numbers, and recent technology for controlling the major arcs in the Hardy-Littlewood method, together with the use of a novel quasi-smooth set of integers.

For each natural number N, let R(N) denote the number of representations of N as a sum of two primes. Hardy and Littlewood proposed a plausible asymptotic formula for R(2N) and showed, under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions, that the formula holds "on average" in a certain sense. From this they deduced (under ERH) that all but Oϵ(x1/2+ϵ) of the even natural numbers in [1, x] can be written as a sum of two primes. We generalize their results to the setting of polynomials over a finite field. Owing to Weil's Riemann Hypothesis, our results are unconditional.

Introduction. In the classical Waring's problem, the following asymptotic formula was established by Vinogradov (see Vinogradov (2), Chapter VII).

By P(ω) we denote the Boolean algebra of all subsets of the set ω of natural numbers. We identify each natural number with the set of its predecessors and define: the ideal of sets of density zero, and the ideal of sets of logarithmic density zero.
