Sums of three cubes, II

Trevor D. Wooley (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Estimates are provided for sth moments of cubic smooth Weyl sums, when 4 ≤ s ≤ 8, by enhancing the author's iterative method that delivers estimates beyond classical convexity. As a consequence, an improved lower bound is presented for the number of integers not exceeding X that are represented as the sum of three cubes of natural numbers.

Waring's problem for fields

William Ellison (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

If K is a field, denote by P(K,k) the a ∈ K which are sums of kth powers of elements of K, by P⁺(K,k) the set of a ∈ K which are sums of kth powers of totally positive elements of K. We give some simple conditions for which there exist integers w(K,k) and g(K,k) such that: a ∈ P(K,k) implies that a is the sum of at most w(K,k) kth powers; a ∈ P⁺(K,k) implies that a is the sum of at most g(K,k) totally positive kth powers. We apply the results to characterise functions that are sums of...
