Goldbach partitions and norms of cusp forms

An integral formula for the Goldbach partitions requires uniform convergence of a complex exponential sum. The dependence of the coefficients of the series is found to be bounded by that of cusp forms. Norms may be defined for these forms on a fundamental domain of a modular group. The relation with the integral formula is found to be sufficient to establish the consistency of the interchange of the integral and the sum, which must remain valid as the even integer $N$ tends to infinity

Combinatorial and Additive Number Theory Problem Sessions: '09--'19

These notes are a summary of the problem session discussions at various CANT (Combinatorial and Additive Number Theory Conferences). Currently they include all years from 2009 through 2019 (inclusive); the goal is to supplement this file each year. These additions will include the problem session notes from that year, and occasionally discussions on progress on previous problems. If you are interested in pursuing any of these problems and want additional information as to progress, please email the author. See http://www.theoryofnumbers.com/ for the conference homepage.Comment: Version 3.4, 58 pages, 2 figures added 2019 problems on 5/31/2019, fixed a few issues from some presenters 6/29/201

Explicit Interval Estimates for Prime Numbers

Using a smoothing function and recent knowledge on the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, we compute pairs of $(\Delta, x_0)$ such that for all $x \geq x_0$ there exists at least one prime in the interval $(x(1 - \Delta^{-1}), x]$.Comment: 15 pages, 3 tables, 1 figur

Some discussions on the Goldbach conjecture

According to some discussions based on syllogism, we present results on the binary Goldbach conjecture in three categories: results that are weaker than the Goldbach conjecture, sufficient conditions for the Goldbach conjecture, and results that are similar in nature to the Goldbach conjecture. Additionally, we explore the connections between the Goldbach conjecture and other well-known conjectures.Comment: Some typos corrected. Many references added. We apologize for any unintentional omissions and recognize the significant contributions made by numerous researchers to the study of the Goldbach conjecture. Any comments or suggestions are welcome

Superconvergence of Topological Entropy in the Symbolic Dynamics of Substitution Sequences

We consider infinite sequences of superstable orbits (cascades) generated by systematic substitutions of letters in the symbolic dynamics of one-dimensional nonlinear systems in the logistic map universality class. We identify the conditions under which the topological entropy of successive words converges as a double exponential onto the accumulation point, and find the convergence rates analytically for selected cascades. Numerical tests of the convergence of the control parameter reveal a tendency to quantitatively universal double-exponential convergence. Taking a specific physical example, we consider cascades of stable orbits described by symbolic sequences with the symmetries of quasilattices. We show that all quasilattices can be realised as stable trajectories in nonlinear dynamical systems, extending previous results in which two were identified.Comment: This version: updated figures and added discussion of generalised time quasilattices. 17 pages, 4 figure
