The Waring-Goldbach problem for cubes

Dr. Xiumin Ren

Abstract

In the Waring-Goldbach problem, we are concerned with the representation of integers by cubes of primes. A very difficult conjecture in this direction is that all sufficiently large integers satisfying some necessary congruence conditions are sums of four cubes of primes. In this talk, we investigate the above conjecture in various directions, and give a brief survey on recent results concerning approximations to the conjecture.
