Goldbach Conjecture (V4)

by Yuan Wang (Editor)

These book consists of two (i) A detailed introduction by the editor to provide a full exposition on the developments of the study of Goldbach conjecture, including a complete reference. (ii) A collection of original papers on Goldbach Conjecture and is intended for graduate students and researchers in analytic number theory who have an understanding of basic elementary number theory and the theory of the distribution of prime numbers. The basic methods for treating Goldbach Conjecture are the circle method of Hardy and Littlewood and the sieve method of Brun. This book contains papers with originalities and important progresses on these two methods and all the papers in Chinese, French, German and Russian have been translated into English.
