On the number of integers which are sums of two squares
We prove a Bombieri-Vinogradov type theorem for the number of representations of an integer in the form with prime numbers such that , under suitable hypothesis on for every integer .
1. Introduction. The Waring problem for polynomial cubes over a finite field F of characteristic 2 consists in finding the minimal integer m ≥ 0 such that every sum of cubes in F[t] is a sum of m cubes. It is known that for F distinct from ₂, ₄, , each polynomial in F[t] is a sum of three cubes of polynomials (see [3]). If a polynomial P ∈ F[t] is a sum of n cubes of polynomials in F[t] such that each cube A³ appearing in the decomposition has degree < deg(P)+3, we say that P is a restricted...
It can be shown that the positive integers representable as the sum of two squares and one power of k (k any fixed integer ≥ 2) have positive density, from which it follows that those integers representable as the sum of two squares and (at most) two powers of k also have positive density. The purpose of this paper is to show that there is an infinity of positive integers not representable as the sum of two squares and two (or fewer) powers of k, k again any fixed integer ≥ 2.
Let be a sufficiently large integer. We prove that almost all sufficiently large even integers can be represented as where with .
