For m = 3,4,... those pₘ(x) = (m-2)x(x-1)/2 + x with x ∈ ℤ are called generalized m-gonal numbers. Sun (2015) studied for what values of positive integers a,b,c the sum ap₅ + bp₅ + cp₅ is universal over ℤ (i.e., any n ∈ ℕ = 0,1,2,... has the form ap₅(x) + bp₅(y) + cp₅(z) with x,y,z ∈ ℤ). We prove that p₅ + bp₅ + 3p₅ (b = 1,2,3,4,9) and p₅ + 2p₅ + 6p₅ are universal over ℤ, as conjectured by Sun. Sun also conjectured that any n ∈ ℕ can be written as and 3p₃(x) + p₅(y) + p₇(z) with x,y,z ∈ ℕ; in...
Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, it is proved that for any there is depending on only such that every even integer is a sum of two odd primes and powers of .
We consider an approximation to the popular conjecture about representations of integers as sums of four squares of prime numbers.
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 .
