The ternary Goldbach conjecture (or three-prime conjecture) states that every oddnumber n greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three primes The purpose of thisbook is to give the first full proof of this conjecture

The proof builds on the great advances made in the early 20th century by Hardy andLittlewood (1922) and Vinogradov (1937) Progress since then has been more gradualIn some ways it was necessary to clear the board and start work using only the mainexisting ideas towards the problem together with techniques developed elsewhere

Part of the aim has been to keep the exposition as accessible as possible withan emphasis on qualitative improvements and new technical ideas that should be ofuse elsewhere The main strategy was to give an analytic approach that is efficientrelatively clean and as it must be for this problem explicit the focus does not lie inoptimizing explicit constants or in performing calculations necessary as these tasksare

Organization In the introduction after a summary of the history of the problemwe will go over a detailed outline of the proof The rest of the book is divided in threeparts structured so that they can be read independently the first two parts do not referto each other and the third part uses only the main results (clearly marked) of the firsttwo parts

As is the case in most proofs involving the circle method the problem is reduced toshowing that a certain integral over the ldquocirclerdquo RZ is non-zero The circle is dividedinto major arcs and minor arcs In Part I ndash in some ways the technical heart of the proofndash we will see how to give upper bounds on the integrand when α is in the minor arcsPart II will provide rather precise estimates for the integrand when the variable α is inthe major arcs Lastly Part III shows how to use these inputs as well as possible toestimate the integral

Each part and each chapter starts with a general discussion of the strategy andthe main ideas involved Some of the more technical bounds and computations arerelegated to the appendices

Introduction

The question we will discuss or one similar to it seems to have been first posed byDescartes in a manuscript published only centuries after his death [Des08 p 298]Descartes states ldquoSed amp omnis numerus par fit ex uno vel duobus vel tribus primisrdquo(ldquoBut also every even number is made out of one two or three prime numbersrdquo1) Thisstatement comes in the middle of a discussion of sums of polygonal numbers such asthe squares

Statements on sums of primes and sums of values of polynomials (polygonal num-bers powers nk etc) have since shown themselves to be much more than mere cu-riosities ndash and not just because they are often very difficult to prove Whereas the studyof sums of powers can rely on their algebraic structure the study of sums of primesleads to the realization that from several perspectives the set of primes behaves muchlike the set of integers or like a random set of integers (It also leads to the realizationthat this is very hard to prove)

If instead of the primes we had a random set of odd integers S whose density ndashan intuitive concept that can be made precise ndash equaled that of the primes then wewould expect to be able to write every odd number as a sum of three elements of Sand every even number as the sum of two elements of S We would have to check byhand whether this is true for small odd and even numbers but it is relatively easy toshow that after a long enough check it would be very unlikely that there would be anyexceptions left among the infinitely many cases left to check

The question then is in what sense we need the primes to be like a random set ofintegers in other words we need to know what we can prove about the regularities ofthe distribution of the primes This is one of the main questions of analytic numbertheory progress on it has been very slow and difficult

Fourier analysis expresses information on the distribution of a sequence in termsof frequencies In the case of the primes what may be called the main frequencies ndashthose in the major arcs ndash correspond to the same kind of large-scale distribution thatis encoded by L-functions the family of functions to which the Riemann zeta function

2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

belongs On some of the crucial questions on L-functions the limits of our knowledgehave barely budged in the last century There is something relatively new now namelyrigorous numerical data of non-negligible scope still such data is by definition finiteand as a consequence its range of applicability is very narrow Thus the real questionin the major-arc regime is how to use well the limited information we do have on thelarge-scale distribution of the primes As we will see this requires delicate work onexplicit asymptotic analysis and smoothing functions

Outside the main frequencies ndash that is in what are called the minor arcs ndash estimatesbased on L-functions no longer apply and what is remarkable is that one can sayanything meaningful on the distribution of the primes Vinogradov was the first to giveunconditional non-trivial bounds showing that there are no great irregularities in theminor arcs this is what makes them ldquominorrdquo Here the task is to give sharper boundsthan Vinogradov It is in this regime that we can genuinely say that we learn a littlemore about the distribution of the primes based on what is essentially an elementaryand highly optimized analytic-combinatorial analysis of exponential sums ie Fouriercoefficients given by series (supported on the primes in our case)

The circle method reduces an additive problem ndash that is a problems on sums suchas sums of primes powers etc ndash to the estimation of an integral on the space offrequencies (the ldquocirclerdquo RZ) In the case of the primes as we have just discussed wehave precise estimates on the integrand on part of the circle (the major arcs) and upperbounds on the rest of the circle (the minor arcs) Putting them together efficiently togive an estimate on the integral is a delicate matter we leave it for the last part as itis really what is particular to our problem as opposed to being of immediate generalrelevance to the study of the primes As we shall see estimating the integral well doesinvolve using ndash and improving ndash general estimates on the variance of irregularities inthe distribution of the primes as given by the large sieve

In fact one of the main general lessons of the proof is that there is a very closerelationship between the circle method and the large sieve we will use the large sievenot just as a tool ndash which we shall incidentally sharpen in certain contexts ndash but as asource for ideas on how to apply the circle method more effectively

This has been an attempt at a first look from above Let us now undertake a moreleisurely and detailed overview of the problem and its solution

11 History and new developments

The history of the conjecture starts properly with Euler and his close friend ChristianGoldbach both of whom lived and worked in Russia at the time of their correspon-dence ndash about a century after Descartesrsquo isolated statement Goldbach a man of manyinterests is usually classed as a serious amateur he seems to have awakened Eulerrsquospassion for number theory which would lead to the beginning of the modern era ofthe subject [Wei84 Ch 3 sectIV] In a letter dated June 7 1742 Goldbach made aconjectural statement on prime numbers and Euler rapidly reduced it to the followingconjecture which he said Goldbach had already posed to him every positive integercan be written as the sum of at most three prime numbers

11 HISTORY AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS 3

We would now say ldquoevery integer greater than 1rdquo since we no long consider 1 tobe a prime number Moreover the conjecture is nowadays split into two

bull the weak or ternary Goldbach conjecture states that every odd integer greaterthan 5 can be written as the sum of three primes

bull the strong or binary Goldbach conjecture states that every even integer greaterthan 2 can be written as the sum of two primes

As their names indicate the strong conjecture implies the weak one (easily subtract 3from your odd number n then express nminus 3 as the sum of two primes)

The strong conjecture remains out of reach A short while ago ndash the first completeversion appeared on May 13 2013 ndash the author proved the weak Goldbach conjecture

Theorem 111 Every odd integer greater than 5 can be written as the sum of threeprimes

In 1937 I M Vinogradov proved [Vin37] that the conjecture is true for all oddnumbers n larger than some constant C (Hardy and Littlewood had proved the samestatement under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis which weshall have the chance to discuss later)

It is clear that a computation can verify the conjecture only for n le c c a constantcomputations have to be finite What can make a result coming from analytic numbertheory be valid only for n ge C

An analytic proof generally speaking gives us more than just existence In thiskind of problem it gives us more than the possibility of doing something (here writingan integer n as the sum of three primes) It gives us a rigorous estimate for the numberof ways in which this something is possible that is it shows us that this number ofways equals

main term + error term (11)

where the main term is a precise quantity f(n) and the error term is something whoseabsolute value is at most another precise quantity g(n) If f(n) gt g(n) then (11) isnon-zero ie we will have shown the existence of a way to write our number as thesum of three primes

(Since what we truly care about is existence we are free to weigh different waysof writing n as the sum of three primes however we wish ndash that is we can decide thatsome primes ldquocountrdquo twice or thrice as much as others and that some do not count atall)

Typically after much work we succeed in obtaining (11) with f(n) and g(n) suchthat f(n) gt g(n) asymptotically that is for n large enough To give a highly simplifiedexample if say f(n) = n2 and g(n) = 100n32 then f(n) gt g(n) for n gt C whereC = 104 and so the number of ways (11) is positive for n gt C

We want a moderate value of C that is a C small enough that all cases n le C canbe checked computationally To ensure this we must make the error term bound g(n)as small as possible This is our main task A secondary (and sometimes neglected)possibility is to rig the weights so as to make the main term f(n) larger in comparisonto g(n) this can generally be done only up to a certain point but is nonetheless veryhelpful


As we said the first unconditional proof that odd numbers n ge C can be writtenas the sum of three primes is due to Vinogradov Analytic bounds fall into severalcategories or stages quite often successive versions of the same theorem will gothrough successive stages

1 An ineffective result shows that a statement is true for some constant C but givesno way to determine what the constant C might be Vinogradovrsquos first proof ofhis theorem (in [Vin37]) is like this it shows that there exists a constant C suchthat every odd number n gt C is the sum of three primes yet give us no hope offinding out what the constant C might be2 Many proofs of Vinogradovrsquos resultin textbooks are also of this type

2 An effective but not explicit result shows that a statement is true for someunspecified constant C in a way that makes it clear that a constant C couldin principle be determined following and reworking the proof with great careVinogradovrsquos later proof ([Vin47] translated in [Vin54]) is of this nature AsChudakov [Chu47 sectIV2] pointed out the improvement on [Vin37] given byMardzhanishvili [Mar41] already had the effect of making the result effective3

3 An explicit result gives a value of C According to [Chu47 p 201] the firstexplicit version of Vinogradovrsquos result was given by Borozdkin in his unpub-lished doctoral dissertation written under the direction of Vinogradov (1939)C = exp(exp(exp(4196))) Such a result is by definition also effectiveBorodzkin later [Bor56] gave the value C = ee

16038

though he does not seem tohave published the proof The best ndash that is smallest ndash value of C known beforethe present work was that of Liu and Wang [LW02] C = 2 middot 101346

4 What we may call an efficient proof gives a reasonable value for C ndash in our casea value small enough that checking all cases up to C is feasible

How far were we from an efficient proof That is what sort of computation couldever be feasible The situation was paradoxical the conjecture was known above anexplicit C but C = 2 middot101346 is so large that it could not be said that the problem couldbe attacked by any foreseeable computational means within our physical universe (Atruly brute-force verification up to C takes at least C steps a cleverer verification takeswell over

radicC steps The number of picoseconds since the beginning of the universe is

less than 1030 whereas the number of protons in the observable universe is currentlyestimated at sim 1080 [Shu92] this limits the number of steps that can be taken inany currently imaginable computer even if it were to do parallel processing on anastronomical scale) Thus the only way forward was a series of drastic improvementsin the mathematical rather than computational side

I gave a proof with C = 1029 in May 2013 Since D Platt and I had verifiedthe conjecture for all odd numbers up to n le 88 middot 1030 by computer [HP13] thisestablished the conjecture for all odd numbers n

2Here as is often the case in ineffective results in analytic number theory the underlying issue is that ofSiegel zeros which are believed not to exist but have not been shown not to the strongest bounds on (ieagainst) such zeros are ineffective and so are all of the many results using such estimates

3The proof in [Mar41] combined the bounds in [Vin37] with a more careful accounting of the effect ofthe single possible Siegel zero within range


(In December 2013 I reduced C to 1027 The verification of the ternary Gold-bach conjecture up to n le 1027 can be done on a home computer over a weekendas of the time of writing (2014) It must be said that this uses the verification of thebinary Goldbach conjecture for n le 4 middot 1018 [OeSHP14] which itself required com-putational resources far outside the home-computing range Checking the conjectureup to n le 1027 was not even the main computational task that needed to be accom-plished to establish the Main Theorem ndash that task was the finite verification of zeros ofL-functions in [Plab] a general-purpose computation that should be useful elsewhere)

What was the strategy of the proof The basic framework is the one pioneered byHardy and Littlewood for a variety of problems ndash namely the circle method which aswe shall see is an application of Fourier analysis over Z (There are other later routesto Vinogradovrsquos result see [HB85] [FI98] and especially the recent work [Sha14]which avoids using anything about zeros of L-functions inside the critical strip) Vino-gradovrsquos proof like much of the later work on the subject was based on a detailedanalysis of exponential sums ie Fourier transforms over Z So is the proof that wewill sketch

At the same time the distance between 2 middot 101346 and 1027 is such that we cannothope to get to 1027 (or any other reasonable constant) by fine-tuning previous workRather we must work from scratch using the basic outline in Vinogradovrsquos originalproof and other initially unrelated developments in analysis and number theory (no-tably the large sieve) Merely improving constants will not do rather we must doqualitatively better than previous work (by non-constant factors) if we are to have anychance to succeed It is on these qualitative improvements that we will focus

It is only fair to review some of the progress made between Vinogradovrsquos time andours Here we will focus on results later we will discuss some of the progress madein the techniques of proof See [Dic66 Ch XVIII] for the early history of the problem(before Hardy and Littlewood) see R Vaughanrsquos ICM lecture notes on the ternaryGoldbach problem [Vau80] for some further details on the history up to 1978

In 1933 Schnirelmann proved [Sch33] that every integer n gt 1 can be written asthe sum of at most K primes for some unspecified constant K (This pioneering workis now considered to be part of the early history of additive combinatorics) In 1969Klimov gave an explicit value for K (namely K = 6 middot 109) he later improved theconstant to K = 115 (with G Z Piltay and T A Sheptickaja) and K = 55 Laterthere were results by Vaughan [Vau77a] (K = 27) Deshouillers [Des77] (K = 26)and Riesel-Vaughan [RV83] (K = 19)

Ramare showed in 1995 that every even number n gt 1 can be written as the sum ofat most 6 primes [Ram95] In 2012 Tao proved [Tao14] that every odd number n gt 1is the sum of at most 5 primes

There have been other avenues of attack towards the strong conjecture Using ideasclose to those of Vinogradovrsquos Chudakov [Chu37] [Chu38] Estermann [Est37] andvan der Corput [van37] proved (independently from each other) that almost every evennumber (meaning all elements of a subset of density 1 in the even numbers) can bewritten as the sum of two primes In 1973 J-R Chen showed [Che73] that every even


number n larger than a constant C can be written as the sum of a prime number andthe product of at most two primes (n = p1 + p2 or n = p1 + p2p3) IncidentallyJ-R Chen himself together with T-Z Wang was responsible for the best bounds onC (for ternary Goldbach) before Lui and Wang C = exp(exp(11503)) lt 4 middot 1043000

[CW89] and C = exp(exp(9715)) lt 6 middot 107193 [CW96]Matters are different if one assumes the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH)

A careful analysis [Eff99] of Hardy and Littlewoodrsquos work [HL22] gives that everyodd number n ge 124 middot 1050 is the sum of three primes if GRH is true4 Accordingto [Eff99] the same statement with n ge 1032 was proven in the unpublished doctoraldissertation of B Lucke a student of E Landaursquos in 1926 Zinoviev [Zin97] improvedthis to n ge 1020 A computer check ([DEtRZ97] see also [Sao98]) showed that theconjecture is true for n lt 1020 thus completing the proof of the ternary Goldbachconjecture under the assumption of GRH What was open until now was of course theproblem of giving an unconditional proof

12 The circle method Fourier analysis on Z

It is common for a first course on Fourier analysis to focus on functions over the re-als satisfying f(x) = f(x + 1) or what is the same functions f RZ rarr CSuch a function (unless it is fairly pathological) has a Fourier series converging to itthis is just the same as saying that f has a Fourier transform f Z rarr C definedby f(n) =

intRZ f(α)e(minusαn)dα and satisfying f(α) =

sumnisinZ f(n)e(αn) (Fourier

inversion theorem) where e(t) = e2πitIn number theory we are especially interested in functions f Zrarr C Then things

are exactly the other way around provided that f decays reasonably fast as n rarr plusmninfin(or becomes 0 for n large enough) f has a Fourier transform f RZ rarr C definedby f(α) =

sumn f(n)e(minusαn) and satisfying f(n) =

intRZ f(α)e(αn)dα (Highbrow

talk we already knew that Z is the Fourier dual of RZ and so of course RZ isthe Fourier dual of Z) ldquoExponential sumsrdquo (or ldquotrigonometrical sumsrdquo as in the titleof [Vin54]) are sums of the form

sumn f(α)e(minusαn) of course the ldquocirclerdquo in ldquocircle

methodrdquo is just a name for RZ (To see an actual circle in the complex plane look atthe image of RZ under the map α 7rarr e(α))

The study of the Fourier transform f is relevant to additive problems in numbertheory ie questions on the number of ways of writing n as a sum of k integers ofa particular form Why One answer could be that f gives us information about theldquorandomnessrdquo of f if f were the characteristic function of a random set then f(α)would be very small outside a sharp peak at α = 0

We can also give a more concrete and immediate answer Recall that in generalthe Fourier transform of a convolution equals the product of the transforms over Z

4In fact Hardy Littlewood and Effinger use an assumption somewhat weaker than GRH they assumethat Dirichlet L-functions have no zeroes satisfying lt(s) ge θ where θ lt 34 is arbitrary (We will reviewDirichlet L-functions in a minute)

12 THE CIRCLE METHOD FOURIER ANALYSIS ON Z 7

this means that for the additive convolution

(f lowast g)(n) =sum

m1m2isinZm1+m2=n

f(m1)g(m2)

the Fourier transform satisfies the simple rule

f lowast g(α) = f(α) middot g(α)

We can see right away from this that (f lowast g)(n) can be non-zero only if n can bewritten as n = m1 + m2 for some m1 m2 such that f(m1) and g(m2) are non-zeroSimilarly (f lowastglowasth)(n) can be non-zero only if n can be written as n = m1 +m2 +m3

for some m1 m2 m3 such that f(m1) f2(m2) and f3(m3) are all non-zero Thissuggests that to study the ternary Goldbach problem we define f1 f2 f3 Zrarr C sothat they take non-zero values only at the primes

Hardy and Littlewood defined f1(n) = f2(n) = f3(n) = 0 for n non-prime (andalso for n le 0) and f1(n) = f2(n) = f3(n) = (log n)eminusnx for n prime (where x isa parameter to be fixed later) Here the factor eminusnx is there to provide ldquofast decayrdquoso that everything converges as we will see later Hardy and Littlewoodrsquos choice ofeminusnx (rather than some other function of fast decay) comes across in hindsight asbeing very clever though not quite best-possible (Their ldquochoicerdquo was to some extentnot a choice but an artifact of their version of the circle method which was framedin terms of power series not in terms of exponential sums with arbitrary smoothingfunctions) The term log n is there for technical reasons ndash in essence it makes senseto put it there because a random integer around n has a chance of about 1(log n) ofbeing prime

We can see that (f1 lowast f2 lowast f3)(n) 6= 0 if and only if n can be written as the sumof three primes Our task is then to show that (f1 lowast f2 lowast f3)(n) (ie (f lowast f lowast f)(n))is non-zero for every n larger than a constant C sim 1027 Since the transform of aconvolution equals a product of transforms

(f1lowastf2lowastf3)(n) =

intRZ

f1 lowast f2 lowast f3(α)e(αn)dα =

intRZ

(f1f2f3)(α)e(αn)dα (12)

Our task is thus to show that the integralintRZ(f1f2f3)(α)e(αn)dα is non-zero

As it happens f(α) is particularly large when α is close to a rational with smalldenominator Moreover for such α it turns out we can actually give rather preciseestimates for f(α) Define M (called the set of major arcs) to be a union of narrowarcs around the rationals with small denominator

M =⋃qler

Now we simply do not know how to give precise estimates for f(α) when α is inm However as Vinogradov realized one can give reasonable upper bounds on |f(α)|for α isin m This suggests the following strategy show thatint

The name of circle method is given to the study of additive problems by means ofFourier analysis over Z and in particular to the use of a subdivision of the circle RZinto major and minor arcs to estimate the integral of a Fourier transform There wasa ldquocirclerdquo already in Hardy and Ramanujanrsquos work [HR00] but the subdivision intomajor and minor arcs is due to Hardy and Littlewood who also applied their methodto a wide variety of additive problems (Hence ldquothe Hardy-Littlewood methodrdquo as analternative name for the circle method) For instance before working on the ternaryGoldbach conjecture they studied the question of whether every n gt C can be writtenas the sum of kth powers (Waringrsquos problem) In fact they used a subdivision intomajor and minor arcs to study Waringrsquos problem and not for the ternary Goldbachproblem they had no minor-arc bounds for ternary Goldbach and their use of GRHhad the effect of making every α isin RZ yield to a major-arc treatment

Vinogradov worked with finite exponential sums ie fi compactly supportedFrom todayrsquos perspective it is clear that there are applications (such as ours) in whichit can be more important for fi to be smooth than compactly supported still Vino-gradovrsquos simplifications were an incentive to further developments In the case of theternary Goldbachrsquos problem his key contribution consisted in the fact that he couldgive bounds on f(α) for α in the minor arcs without using GRH

An important note in the case of the binary Goldbach conjecture the method failsat (14) and not before if our understanding of the actual value of fi(α) is at all correctit is simply not true in general thatint

Let us see why this is not surprising Set f1 = f2 = f3 = f for simplicity so thatwe have the integral of the square (f(α))2 for the binary problem and the integral ofthe cube (f(α))3 for the ternary problem Squaring like cubing amplifies the peaksof f(α) which are at the rationals of small denominator and their immediate neighbor-hoods (the major arcs) however cubing amplifies the peaks much more than squaringThis is why even though the arcs making up M are very narrow

131 What do we really know about L-functions and their zerosBefore we start let us give a very brief review of basic analytic number theory (in thesense of say [Dav67]) A Dirichlet character χ Z rarr C of modulus q is a characterof (ZqZ)lowast lifted to Z (In other words χ(n) = χ(n+ q) for all n χ(ab) = χ(a)χ(b)for all a b and χ(n) = 0 for (n q) 6= 1) A Dirichlet L-series is defined by

L(s χ) =

infinsumn=1

χ(n)nminuss

for lt(s) gt 1 and by analytic continuation for lt(s) le 1 (The Riemann zeta functionζ(s) is the L-function for the trivial character ie the character χ such that χ(n) = 1for all n) Taking logarithms and then derivatives we see that

minus Lprime(s χ)

L(s χ)=

infinsumn=1

χ(n)Λ(n)nminuss (15)

for lt(s) gt 1 where Λ is the von Mangoldt function (Λ(n) = log p if n is some primepower pα α ge 1 and Λ(n) = 0 otherwise)

Dirichlet introduced his characters and L-series so as to study primes in arithmeticprogressions In general and after some work (15) allows us to restate many sumsover the primes (such as our Fourier transforms f(α)) as sums over the zeros ofL(s χ)A non-trivial zero of L(s χ) is a zero of L(s χ) such that 0 lt lt(s) lt 1 (The otherzeros are called trivial because we know where they are namely at negative integersand in some cases also on the line lt(s) = 0 In order to eliminate all zeros onlt(s) = 0 outside s = 0 it suffices to assume that χ is primitive a primitive charactermodulo q is one that is not induced by (ie not the restriction of) any character modulod|q d lt q)

The Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions is the statementthat for every Dirichlet character χ every non-trivial zero of L(s χ) satisfies lt(s) =12 Of course the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) ndash and the Riemann Hy-pothesis which is the special case of χ trivial ndash remains unproven Thus if we want toprove unconditional statements we need to make do with partial results towards GRHTwo kinds of such results have been proven


bull Zero-free regions Ever since the late nineteenth century (Hadamard de laVallee-Poussin) we have known that there are hourglass-shaped regions (moreprecisely of the shape c

log t le σ le 1minus clog t where c is a constant and where we

write s = σ + it) outside which non-trivial zeros cannot lie Explicit values forc are known [McC84b] [Kad05] [Kad] There is also the Vinogradov-Korobovregion [Kor58] [Vin58] which is broader asymptotically but narrower in mostof the practical range (see [For02] however)

bull Finite verifications of GRH It is possible to (ask a computer to) prove smallfinite fragments of GRH in the sense of verifying that all non-trivial zeros ofa given finite set of L-functions with imaginary part less than some constant Hlie on the critical line lt(s) = 12 Such verifications go back to Riemannwho checked the first few zeros of ζ(s) Large-scale rigorous computer-basedverifications are now a possibility

Most work in the literature follows the first alternative though [Tao14] did use afinite verification of RH (ie GRH for the trivial character) Unfortunately zero-freeregions seem too narrow to be useful for the ternary Goldbach problem Thus we areleft with the second alternative

In coordination with the present work Platt [Plab] verified that all zeros s of L-functions for characters χ with modulus q le 300000 satisfying =(s) le Hq lie on theline lt(s) = 12 where

bull Hq = 108q for q odd and

bull Hq = max(108q 200 + 75 middot 107q) for q even

This was a medium-large computation taking a few hundreds of thousands of core-hours on a parallel computer It used interval arithmetic for the sake of rigor we willlater discuss what this means

The choice to use a finite verification of GRH rather than zero-free regions hadconsequences on the manner in which the major and minor arcs had to be chosen Aswe shall see such a verification can be used to give very precise bounds on the majorarcs but also forces us to define them so that they are narrow and their number isconstant To be precise the major arcs were defined around rationals aq with q le rr = 300000 moreover as will become clear the fact that Hq is finite will force theirwidth to be bounded by c0rqx where c0 is a constant (say c0 = 8)

132 Estimates of f(α) for α in the major arcs

Recall that we want to estimate sums of the type f(α) =sumf(n)e(minusαn) where

f(n) is something like (log n)η(nx) for n equal to a prime and 0 otherwise hereη Rrarr C is some function of fast decay such as Hardy and Littlewoodrsquos choice

η(t) =

eminust for t ge 0

0 for t lt 0


Let us modify this just a little ndash we will actually estimate

Sη(α x) =sum

Λ(n)e(αn)η(nx) (16)

where Λ is the von Mangoldt function (as in (15)) The use of α rather thanminusα is justa bow to tradition as is the use of the letter S (for ldquosumrdquo) however the use of Λ(n)rather than just plain log p does actually simplify matters

The function η here is sometimes called a smoothing function or simply a smooth-ing It will indeed be helpful for it to be smooth on (0infin) but in principle it neednot even be continuous (Vinogradovrsquos work implicitly uses in effect the ldquobrutal trun-cationrdquo 1[01](t) defined to be 1 when t isin [0 1] and 0 otherwise that would be fine forthe minor arcs but as it will become clear it is a bad idea as far as the major arcs areconcerned)

Assume α is on a major arc meaning that we can write α = aq+δx for some aq(q small) and some δ (with |δ| small) We can write Sη(α x) as a linear combination

Sη(α x) =sumχ

cχSηχ

(δ

)+ tiny error term (17)

where

Sηχ

(δ

)=sum

Λ(n)χ(n)e(δnx)η(nx) (18)

In (17) χ runs over primitive Dirichlet characters of moduli d|q and cχ is small(|cχ| le

radicdφ(q))

Why are we expressing the sums Sη(α x) in terms of the sums Sηχ(δx x) whichlook more complicated The argument has become δx whereas before it was αHere δ is relatively small ndash smaller than the constant c0r in our setup In other wordse(δnx) will go around the circle a bounded number of times as n goes from 1 up to aconstant times x (by which time η(nx) has become small because η is of fast decay)This makes the sums much easier to estimate

To estimate the sums Sηχ we will use L-functions together with one of the mostcommon tools of analytic number theory the Mellin transform This transform is es-sentially a Laplace transform with a change of variables and a Laplace transform inturn is a Fourier transform taken on a vertical line in the complex plane For f of fastenough decay the Mellin transform F = Mf of f is given by

F (s) =

int infin0

f(t)tsdt

t

we can express f in terms of F by the Mellin inversion formula

f(t) =1

2πi

int σ+iinfin

σminusiinfinF (s)tminussds

for any σ within an interval We can thus express e(δt)η(t) in terms of its Mellintransform Fδ and then use (15) to express Sηχ in terms of Fδ and Lprime(s χ)L(s χ)


shifting the integral in the Mellin inversion formula to the left we obtain what is knownin analytic number theory as an explicit formula

Sηχ(δx x) = [η(minusδ)x]minussumρ

Fδ(ρ)xρ + tiny error term

Here the term between brackets appears only for χ trivial In the sum ρ goes over allnon-trivial zeros ofL(s χ) and Fδ is the Mellin transform of e(δt)η(t) (The tiny errorterm comes from a sum over the trivial zeros of L(s χ)) We will obtain the estimatewe desire if we manage to show that the sum over ρ is small

The point is this if we verify GRH for L(s χ) up to imaginary part H ie ifwe check that all zeroes ρ of L(s χ) with |=(ρ)| le H satisfy lt(ρ) = 12 we have|xρ| =

radicx In other words xρ is very small (compared to x) However for any

ρ whose imaginary part has absolute value greater than H we know next to nothingabout its real part other than 0 le lt(ρ) le 1 (Zero-free regions are notoriously weakfor =(ρ) large we will not use them) Hence our only chance is to make sure thatFδ(ρ) is very small when |=(ρ)| ge H

This has to be true for both δ very small (including the case δ = 0) and for δ not sosmall (|δ| up to c0rq which can be large because r is a large constant) How can wechoose η so that Fδ(ρ) is very small in both cases for τ = =(ρ) large

The method of stationary phase is useful as an exploratory tool here In brief itsuggests (and can sometimes prove) that the main contribution to the integral

Fδ(t) =

int infin0

e(δt)η(t)tsdt

t(19)

can be found where the phase of the integrand has derivative 0 This happens whent = minusτ2πδ (for sgn(τ) 6= sgn(δ)) the contribution is then a moderate factor timesη(minusτ2πδ) In other words if sgn(τ) 6= sgn(δ) and δ is not too small (|δ| ge 8 say)Fδ(σ + iτ) behaves like η(minusτ2πδ) if δ is small (|δ| lt 8) then Fδ behaves like F0which is the Mellin transform Mη of η Here is our goal then the decay of η(t) as|t| rarr infin should be as fast as possible and the decay of the transform Mη(σ + iτ)should also be as fast as possible

This is a classical dilemma often called the uncertainty principle because it is themathematical fact underlying the physical principle of the same name you cannot havea function η that decreases extremely rapidly and whose Fourier transform (or in thiscase its Mellin transform) also decays extremely rapidly

What does ldquoextremely rapidlyrdquo mean here It means (as Hardy himself proved)ldquofaster than any exponential eminusCtrdquo Thus Hardy and Littlewoodrsquos choice η(t) = eminust

seems essentially optimal at first sightHowever it is not optimal We can choose η so that Mη decreases exponentially

(with a constant C somewhat worse than for η(t) = eminust) but η decreases faster thanexponentially This is a particularly appealing possibility because it is t|δ| and not somuch t that risks being fairly small (To be explicit say we check GRH for charactersof modulus q up to Hq sim 50 middot c0rq ge 50|δ| Then we only know that |τ2πδ| amp8 So for η(t) = eminust η(minusτ2πδ) may be as large as eminus8 which is not negligibleIndeed since this term will be multiplied later by other terms eminus8 is simply not small


enough On the other hand we can assume that Hq ge 200 (say) and so Mη(s) simeminus(π2)|τ | is completely negligible and will remain negligible even if we replace π2by a somewhat smaller constant)

We shall take η(t) = eminust22 (that is the Gaussian) This is not the only possible

choice but it is in some sense natural It is easy to show that the Mellin transform Fδfor η(t) = eminust

22 is a multiple of what is called a parabolic cylinder function U(a z)with imaginary values for z There are plenty of estimates on parabolic cylinder func-tions in the literature ndash but mostly for a and z real in part because that is one of thecases occuring most often in applications There are some asymptotic expansions andestimates for U(a z) a z general due to Olver [Olv58] [Olv59] [Olv61] [Olv65]but unfortunately they come without fully explicit error terms for a and z within ourrange of interest (The same holds for [TV03])

In the end I derived bounds for Fδ using the saddle-point method (The methodof stationary phase which we used to choose η seems to lead to error terms that aretoo large) The saddle-point method consists in brief in changing the contour of anintegral to be bounded (in this case (19)) so as to minimize the maximum of theintegrand (To use a metaphor in [dB81] find the lowest mountain pass)

Here we strive to get clean bounds rather than the best possible constants Considerthe case k = 0 of Corollary 802 with k = 0 it states the following For s = σ + iτwith σ isin [0 1] and |τ | ge max(100 4π2|δ|) we obtain that the Mellin transform Fδ ofη(t)e(δt) with η(t) = eminust

22 satisfies

|Fδ(s+ k)|+ |Fδ((1minus s) + k)| le

|`| )2

if 4|τ |`2 lt 323286eminus01598|τ | if 4|τ |`2 ge 32

(110)

Similar bounds hold for σ in other ranges thus giving us estimates on the Mellintransform Fδ for η(t) = tkeminust

22 and σ in the critical range [0 1] (We could do a littlebetter if we knew the value of σ but in our applications we do not once we leavethe range in which GRH has been checked We will give a bound (Theorem 801) thatdoes take σ into account and also reflects and takes advantage of the fact that thereis a transitional region around |τ | sim (32)(πδ)2 in practice however we will useCor 802)

A momentrsquos thought shows that we can also use (110) to deal with the Mellintransform of η(t)e(δt) for any function of the form η(t) = eminust

22g(t) (or more gener-ally η(t) = tkeminust

22g(t)) where g(t) is any band-limited function By a band-limitedfunction we could mean a function whose Fourier transform is compactly supportedwhile that is a plausible choice it turns out to be better to work with functions that areband-limited with respect to the Mellin transform ndash in the sense of being of the form

g(t) =

int R

minusRh(r)tminusirdr

where h Rrarr C is supported on a compact interval [minusRR] withR not too large (sayR = 200) What happens is that the Mellin transform of the product eminust

22g(t)e(δt)

is a convolution of the Mellin transform Fδ(s) of eminust22e(δt) (estimated in (110)) and


that of g(t) (supported in [minusRR]) the effect of the convolution is just to delay decayof Fδ(s) by at most a shift by y 7rarr y minusR

We wish to estimate Sηχ(δx) for several functions η This motivates us to derivean explicit formula (sect) general enough to work with all the weights η(t) we will workwith while being also completely explicit and free of any integrals that may be tediousto evaluate

Once that is done and once we consider the input provided by Plattrsquos finite verifi-cation of GRH up to Hq we obtain simple bounds for different weights

For η(t) = eminust22 x ge 108 χ a primitive character of modulus q le r = 300000

and any δ isin R with |δ| le 4rq we obtain

Sηχ

(δ

)= Iq=1 middot η(minusδ)x+ E middot x (111)

where Iq=1 = 1 if q = 1 Iq=1 = 0 if q 6= 1 and

|E| le 4306 middot 10minus22 +1radicx

(650400radicq

) (112)

Here η stands for the Fourier transform from R to R normalized as follows η(t) =intinfinminusinfin e(minusxt)η(x)dx Thus η(minusδ) is just

radic2πeminus2π2δ2 (self-duality of the Gaussian)

This is one of the main results of Part II see sect71 Similar bounds are also proventhere for η(t) = t2eminust

22 as well as for a weight of type η(t) = teminust22g(t) where

g(t) is a band-limited function and also for a weight η defined by a multiplicativeconvolution The conditions on q (namely q le r = 300000) and δ are what weexpected from the outset

Thus concludes our treatment of the major arcs This is arguably the easiest part ofthe proof it was actually what I left for the end as I was fairly confident it would workout Minor-arc estimates are more delicate let us now examine them

14 The minor arcs m

141 Qualitative goals and main ideas

What kind of bounds do we need What is there in the literatureWe wish to obtain upper bounds on |Sη(α x)| for some weight η and any α isin RZ

not very close to a rational with small denominator Every α is close to some rationalaq what we are looking for is a bound on |Sη(α x)| that decreases rapidly when qincreases

Moreover we want our bound to decrease rapidly when δ increases where α =aq + δx In fact the main terms in our bound will be decreasing functions ofmax(1 |δ|8) middot q (Let us write δ0 = max(2 |δ|4) from now on) This will allowour bound to be good enough outside narrow major arcs which will get narrower andnarrower as q increases ndash that is precisely the kind of major arcs we were presupposingin our major-arc bounds

14 THE MINOR ARCS M 15

It would be possible to work with narrow major arcs that become narrower as qincreases simply by allowing q to be very large (close to x) and assigning each angleto the fraction closest to it This is in fact the common procedure However thismakes matters more difficult in that we would have to minimize at the same time thefactors in front of terms xq x

radicq etc and those in front of terms q

radicqx and so

on (These terms are being compared to the trivial bound x) Instead we choose tostrive for a direct dependence on δ throughout this will allow us to cap q at a muchlower level thus making terms such as q and

radicqx negligible (This choice has been

taken elsewhere in applications of the circle method but strangely seems absent fromprevious work on the ternary Goldbach conjecture)

How good must our bounds be Since the major-arc bounds are valid only forq le r = 300000 and |δ| le 4rq we cannot afford even a single factor of log x (orany other function tending to infin as x rarr infin) in front of terms such as x

radicq|δ0| a

factor like that would make the term larger than the trivial bound x if q|δ0| is equal toa constant (r say) and x is very large Apparently there was no such ldquolog-free boundrdquowith explicit constants in the literature even though such bounds were considered tobe in principle feasible and even though previous work ([Che85] [Dab96] [DR01][Tao14]) had gradually decreased the number of factors of log x (In limited ranges forq there were log-free bounds without explicit constants see [Dab96] [Ram10] Theestimate in [Vin54 Thm 2a 2b] was almost log-free but not quite There were alsobounds [Kar93] [But11] that used L-functions and thus were not really useful in atruly minor-arc regime)

It also seemed clear that a main bound proportional to (log q)2xradicq (as in [Tao14])

was too large At the same time it was not really necessary to reach a bound of thebest possible form that could be found through Vinogradovrsquos basic approach namely

|Sη(α x)| le Cxradicq

φ(q) (113)

Such a bound had been proven by Ramare [Ram10] for q in a limited range and Cnon-explicit later in [Ramc] ndash which postdates the first version of [Helb] ndash Ramarebroadened the range to q le x148 and gave an explicit value forC namelyC = 13000Such a bound is a notable achievement but unfortunately it is not useful for ourpurposes Rather we will aim at a bound whose main term is bounded by a constantaround 1 times x(log δ0q)

radicδ0φ(q) this is slightly worse asymptotically than (113)

but it is much better in the delicate range of δ0q sim 300000 and in fact for a muchwider range as well

We see that we have several tasks One of them is the removal of logarithms wecannot afford a single factor of log x and in practice we can afford at most one factorof log q Removing logarithms will be possible in part because of the use of previouslyexisting efficient techniques (the large sieve for sequences with prime support) but alsobecause we will be able to find cancellation at several places in sums coming from acombinatorial identity (namely Vaughanrsquos identity) The task of finding cancellationis particularly delicate because we cannot afford large constants or for that matter


statements valid only for large x (Bounding a sum such assumn micro(n) efficiently where

micro is the Mobius function

micro(n) =

(minus1)k if n = p1p2 pk all pi distinct0 if p2|n for some prime p

is harder than estimating a sum such assumn Λ(n) equally efficiently even though we

are used to thinking of the two problems as equivalent)We have said that our bounds will improve as |δ| increases This dependence on

δ will be secured in different ways at different places Sometimes δ will appear asan argument as in η(minusδ) for η piecewise continuous with ηprime isin L1 we know that|η(t)| rarr 0 as |t| rarr infin Sometimes we will obtain a dependence on δ by using severaldifferent rational approximations to the same α isin R Lastly we will obtain a gooddependence on δ in bilinear sums by supplying a scattered input to a large sieve

If there is a main moral to the argument it lies in the close relation between thecircle method and the large sieve The circle method rests on the estimation of anintegral involving a Fourier transform f RZ rarr C as we will later see this leadsnaturally to estimating the `2-norm of f on subsets (namely unions of arcs) of the circleRZ The large sieve can be seen as an approximate discrete version of Plancherelrsquosidentity which states that |f |2 = |f |2

Both in this section and in sect15 we shall use the large sieve in part so as to usethe fact that some of the functions we work with have prime support ie are non-zeroonly on prime numbers There are ways to use prime support to improve the outputof the large sieve In sect15 these techniques will be refined and then translated to thecontext of the circle method where f has (essentially) prime support and |f |2 must beintegrated over unions of arcs (This allows us to remove a logarithm) The main pointis that the large sieve is not being used as a black box rather we can adapt ideas from(say) the large-sieve context and apply them to the circle method

Lastly there are the benefits of a continuous η Hardy and Littlewood alreadyused a continuous η this was abandoned by Vinogradov presumably for the sake ofsimplicity The idea that smooth weights η can be superior to sharp truncations isnow commonplace As we shall see using a continuous η is helpful in the minor-arcsregime but not as crucial there as for the major arcs We will not use a smooth η wewill prove our estimates for any continuous η that is piecewise C1 and then towardsthe end we will choose to use the same weight η = η2 as in [Tao14] in part because ithas compact support and in part for the sake of comparison The moral here is not quitethe common dictum ldquoalways smoothrdquo but rather that different kinds of smoothing canbe appropriate for different tasks in the end we will show how to coordinate differentsmoothing functions η

There are other ideas involved for instance some of Vinogradovrsquos lemmas areimproved Let us now go into some of the details

142 Combinatorial identitiesGenerally since Vinogradov a treatment of the minor arcs starts with a combinatorialidentity expressing Λ(n) (or the characteristic function of the primes) as a sum of two


or more convolutions (In this section by a convolution flowastg we will mean the Dirichletconvolution (f lowast g)(n) =

sumd|n f(d)g(nd) ie the multiplicative convolution on the

semigroup of positive integers)In some sense the archetypical identity is

Λ = micro lowast log

but it will not usually do the contribution of micro(d) log(nd) with d close to n is toodifficult to estimate precisely There are alternatives for example there is the identity

Λ(n) log n = micro lowast log2minusΛ lowast Λ (114)

which underlies an estimate of Selbergrsquos that in turn is the basis for the Erdos-Selbergproof of the prime number theorem see eg [MV07 sect82] More generally onecan decompose Λ(n)(log n)k as micro lowast logk+1 minus a linear combination of convolu-tions this kind of decomposition ndash really just a direct consequence of the develop-ment of (ζ prime(s)ζ(s))(k) ndash will be familiar to some from the exposition of Bombierirsquoswork [Bom76] in [FI10 sect3] (for instance) Another useful identity was that used byDaboussi [Dab96] witness its application in [DR01] which gives explicit estimates onexponential sums over primes

The proof of Vinogradovrsquos three-prime result was simplified substantially [Vau77b]by the introduction of Vaughanrsquos identity

Λ(n) = microleU lowast logminusΛleV lowast microleU lowast 1 + 1 lowast microgtU lowast ΛgtV + ΛleV (115)

where we are using the notation

fleW =

f(n) if n leW 0 if n gt W

fgtW =

0 if n leW f(n) if n gt W

Of the resulting sums (sumn(microleU lowast log)(n)e(αn)η(nx) etc) the first three are said

to be of type I type I (again) and type II the last sumsumnleV Λ(n) is negligible

One of the advantages of Vaughanrsquos identity is its flexibility we can set U and Vto whatever values we wish Its main disadvantage is that it is not ldquolog-freerdquo in that itseems to impose the loss of two factors of log x if we sum each side of (115) from 1to x we obtain

sumnlex Λ(n) sim x on the left side whereas if we bound the sum on the

right side without the use of cancellation we obtain a bound of x(log x)2 Of coursewe will obtain some cancellation from the phase e(αn) still even if this gives us afactor of say 1

radicq we will get a bound of x(log x)2

radicq which is worse than the

trivial bound x for q bounded and x large Since we want a bound that is useful for allq larger than the constant r and all x larger than a constant this will not do

As was pointed out in [Tao14] it is possible to get a factor of (log q)2 instead of afactor of (log x)2 in the type II sums by setting U and V appropriately Unfortunatelya factor of (log q)2 is still too large in practice and there is also the issue of factors oflog x in type I sums

Vinogradov had already managed to get an essentially log-free result (by a ratherdifficult procedure) in [Vin54 Ch IX] The result in [Dab96] is log-free Unfortu-nately the explicit result in [DR01] ndash the study of which encouraged me at the begin-ning of the project ndash is not For a while I worked with the case k = 2 of the expansion


of (ζ prime(s)ζ(s))(k) which gives

Λ middot log2 = micro lowast log3minus3 middot (Λ middot log) lowast Λminus Λ lowast Λ lowast Λ (116)

This identity is essentially log-free while a trivial bound on the sum of the right sidefor n from 1 to N does seem to have two extra factors of log they are present only inthe term micro lowast log3 which is not the hardest one to estimate Ramare obtained a log-freebound in [Ram10] using an identity introduced by Diamond and Steinig in the courseof their own work on elementary proofs of the prime number theorem [DS70] thatidentity gives a decomposition for Λ middot logk that can also be derived from the expansionof (ζ prime(s)ζ(s))(k) by a clever grouping of terms

In the end I decided to use Vaughanrsquos identity motivated in part by [Tao14] andin part by the lack of free parameters in (116) as can be seen in (115) Vaughanrsquosidentity has two parameters U V that we can set to whatever values we think best Theform of the identity allowed me to reuse much of my work up to that point but it alsoposed a challenge since Vaughanrsquos identity is by no means log-free one has obtaincancellation in Vaughanrsquos identity at every possible step beyond the cancellation givenby the phase e(αn) (The presence of a phase in fact makes the task of getting can-cellation from the identity more complicated) The removal of logarithms will be oneof our main tasks in what follows It is clear that the presence of the Mobius functionmicro should give in principle some cancellation we will show how to use it to obtain asmuch cancellation as we need ndash with good constants and not just asymptotically

task to estimate the slightly simpler sumsummleD

micro(m)sumn

e(αmn)η(mnx

) (119)

where D can be U or UV or something else less than xWhy can we consider this simpler sum without omitting anything essential It is

clear that (117) is of the same kind as (119) The inner double sum in (118) is just(119) with αv instead of α this enables us to estimate (118) by means of (119) for qsmall ie the more delicate case If q is not small then the approximation αv sim avqmay not be accurate enough In that case we collapse the two outer sums in (118) intoa sum

sumn(ΛleV lowast microleU )(n) and treat all of (118) much as we will treat (119) since


q is not small we can afford to bound (ΛleV lowast microleU )(n) trivially (by log n) in the lesssensitive terms

Let us first outline Vinogradovrsquos procedure for bounding type I sums Just by sum-ming a geometric series we get∣∣∣∣∣∣

where c is a constant and α is the distance from α to the nearest integer Vinogradovsplits the outer sum in (119) into sums of length q When m runs on an interval oflength q the angle amq runs through all fractions of the form bq due to the errorδx αm could be close to 0 for two values of n but otherwise αm takes valuesbounded below by 1q (twice) 2q (twice) 3q (twice) etc Thus∣∣∣∣∣∣

There are several ways to improve this One is simply to estimate the inner summore precisely this was already done in [DR01] One can also define a smoothingfunction η as in (119) it is easy to get∣∣∣∣∣∣

Except for the third term this is as in [Tao14] We could also choose carefully whichbound to use for each m surprisingly this gives an improvement ndash in fact an impor-tant one for m large However even with these improvements we still have a termproportional to Nm as in (121) and this contributes about (x log x)q to the sum(119) thus giving us an estimate that is not log-free

What we have to do naturally is to take out the terms with q|m for m small (If mis large then those may not be the terms for which mα is close to 0 we will later seewhat to do) For y + q le Q2 |αminus aq| le 1qQ we get thatsum

This is satisfactory We are left with all the terms m le M = min(DQ2) with q|mndash and also with all the terms Q2 lt m le D For m le M divisible by q we can


estimate (as opposed to just bound from above) the inner sum in (119) by the Poissonsummation formula and then sum over m but without taking absolute values writingm = aq we get a main term

for y arbitrary since AC will be of constant size (4qπ)radicAC is pleasant enough but

the contribution of 3A sim 3|η|1xy is nasty (it adds a multiple of (x log x)q to thetotal) and seems unavoidable the values of m for which αm is close to 0 no longercorrespond to the congruence class m equiv 0 mod q and thus cannot be taken out

The solution is to switch approximations (The idea of using different approxima-tions to the same α is neither new nor recent in the general context of the circle methodsee [Vau97 sect28 Ex 2] What may be new is its use to clear a hurdle in type I sums)What does this mean If α were exactly or almost exactly aq then there would beno other very good approximations in a reasonable range However note that we candefine Q = bx|δq|c for α = aq + δx and still have |αminus aq| le 1qQ If δ is verysmall Q will be larger than 2D and there will be no terms with Q2 lt m le D toworry about

radic2x holds for all real 0 lt x le 1012 see also the stronger

bound [Dre93]) The classical zero-free region of the Riemann zeta function ought to give a factor ofexp(minus

radic(log x)c) which looks much better than 1 log x What happens is that (a) such a factor is

not actually much better than 1 log x for x sim 1030 say (b) estimating sums involving the Mobius func-tion by means of an explicit formula is harder than estimating sums involving Λ(n) the residues of 1ζ(s)at the non-trivial zeros of s come into play As a result getting non-trivial explicit results on sums of micro(n)is harder than one would naively expect from the quality of classical effective (but non-explicit) results See[Rama] for a survey of explicit bounds


What happens if δ is not very small We know that for any Qprime there is an approx-imation aprimeqprime to α with |αminus aprimeqprime| le 1qprimeQprime and qprime le Qprime However for Qprime gt Q weknow that aprimeqprime cannot equal aq by the definition of Q the approximation aq is notgood enough ie |α minus aq| le 1qQprime does not hold Since aq 6= aprimeqprime we see that|aq minus aprimeqprime| ge 1qqprime and this implies that qprime ge (ε(1 + ε))Q

Thus for m gt Q2 the solution is to apply (126) with aprimeqprime instead of aq Thecontribution of A fades into insignificance for the first sum over a range y lt m ley + qprime y ge Q2 it contributes at most x(Q2) and all the other contributions of Asum up to at most a constant times (x log x)qprime

144 Type II or bilinear sums

We must now bound

Tao [Tao14] takes η = η2 = η1 lowastM η1 where η1 is a brutal truncation viz thefunction taking the value 2 on [12 1] and 0 elsewhere We take the same η2 in partfor comparison purposes and in part because this will allow us to use off-the-shelfestimates on the large sieve (Brutal truncations are rarely optimal in principle but asthey are very common results for them have been carefully optimized in the literature)Clearly

r1lex

(r1r2)=1

micro(r1)micro(r2)

We can bound (130) by the use of bounds onsumnlet micro(n)n combined with the es-

timation of infinite products by means of approximations to ζ(s) for s rarr 1+ Aftersome additional manipulations we obtain a bound for S1(UW ) whose main term isat most (3π2)(xW ) for each W and closer to 022482xW on average over W

(This is as good a point as any to say that throughout we can use a trick in [Tao14]that allows us to work with odd values of integer variables throughout instead of lettingm or n range over all integers Here for instance if m and n are restricted to be oddwe obtain a bound of (2π2)(xW ) for individual W and 015107xW on averageoverW This is so even though we are losing some cancellation in micro by the restriction)

Let us now bound S2(VW ) This is traditionally done by Linnikrsquos dispersionmethod However it should be clear that the thing to do nowadays is to use a largesieve and more specifically a large sieve for primes that kind of large sieve is nothingother than a tool for estimating expressions such as S2(VW ) (Incidentally eventhough we are trying to save every factor of log we can we choose not to use smallsieves at all either here or elsewhere) In order to take advantage of prime support weuse Montgomeryrsquos inequality ([Mon68] [Hux72] see the expositions in [Mon71 pp27ndash29] and [IK04 sect74]) combined with Montgomery and Vaughanrsquos large sieve withweights [MV73 (16)] following the general procedure in [MV73 (16)] We obtain abound of the form

on S2(VW ) where of course we can also choose not to gain a factor of logW2q ifq is close to or greater than W

It remains to see how to gain a factor of |δ| in the major arcs and more specificallyin S2(VW ) To explain this let us step back and take a look at what the large sieve is


Given a civilized function f Zrarr C Plancherelrsquos identity tells us thatintRZ

∣∣∣f (α)∣∣∣2 dα =

sumn

|f(n)|2

The large sieve can be seen as an approximate or statistical version of this for aldquosamplerdquo of points α1 α2 αk satisfying |αi minus αj | ge β for i 6= j it tells us thatsum

1lejlek

∣∣∣f (αi)∣∣∣2 le (X + βminus1)

sumn

|f(n)|2 (132)

assuming that f is supported on an interval of length X Now consider α1 = α α2 = 2α α3 = 3α If α = aq then the angles

α1 αq are well-separated ie they satisfy |αi minus αj | ge 1q and so we can apply(132) with β = 1q However αq+1 = α1 Thus if we have an outer sum oflength L gt q ndash in (129) we have an outer sum of length L = x2W ndash we needto split it into dLqe blocks of length q and so the total bound given by (132) isdLqe(X + q)

sumn |f(n)|2 Indeed this is what gives us (131) which is fine but we

want to do better for |δ| larger than a constantSuppose then that α = aq + δx where |δ| gt 8 say Then the angles α1

and αq+1 are not identical |α1 minus αq+1| le q|δ|x We also see that αq+1 is at adistance at least q|δ|x from α2 α3 αq provided that q|δ|x lt 1q We can goon with αq+2 αq+3 and stop only once there is overlap ie only once we reachαm such that m|δ|x ge 1q We then give all the angles α1 αm ndash which areseparated by at least q|δ|x from each other ndash to the large sieve at the same time Wedo this dLme le dL(x|δ|q)e times and obtain a total bound of dL(x|δ|q)e(X +x|δ|q)

sumn |f(n)|2 which for L = x2W X = W2 gives us about(

)logW

provided thatL ge x|δ|q and as usual |αminusaq| le 1qQ This is very small comparedto the trivial bound xW8

What happens if L lt x|δq| Then there is never any overlap we consider allangles αi and give them all together to the large sieve The total bound is (W 24 +xW2|δ|q) logW If L = x2W is smaller than say x3|δq| then we see clearlythat there are non-intersecting swarms of angles αi around the rationals aq We canthus save a factor of log (or rather (φ(q)q) log(W|δq|)) by applying Montgomeryrsquosinequality which operates by strewing displacements of given angles (or here swarmsaround angles) around the circle to the extent possible while keeping everything well-separated In this way we obtain a bound of the form

logW

log W|δ|q

Compare this to (131) we have gained a factor of |δ|4 and so we use this estimatewhen |δ| gt 4 (We will actually use the criterion |δ| gt 8 but since we will be working


with approximations of the form 2α = aq + δx the value of δ in our actual workis twice of what it is in this introduction This is a consequence of working with sumsover the odd integers as in [Tao14])

We have succeeded in eliminating all factors of log we came across The onlyfactor of log that remains is log xUV coming from the integral

int xUV

dWW Thuswe want UV to be close to x but we cannot let it be too close since we also have aterm proportional to D = UV in (127) and we need to keep it substantially smallerthan x We set U and V so that UV is x

radicqmax(4 |δ|) or thereabouts

In the end after some work we obtain our main minor-arcs bound (Theorem 311)It states the following Let x ge x0 x0 = 216 middot 1020 Tecall that Sη(α x) =sumn Λ(n)e(αn)η(nx) and η2 = η1lowastM η1 = 4 middot1[121]lowast1[121] Let 2α = aq+δx

(134)The factor Rxt is small in practice for typical ldquodifficultrdquo values of x and δ0x it is

less than 1 The crucial things to notice in (133) are that there is no factor of log x andthat in the main term there is only one factor of log δ0q The fact that δ0 helps us asit grows is precisely what enables us to take major arcs that get narrower and narroweras q grows

15 Integrals over the major and minor arcsSo far we have sketched (sect13) how to estimate Sη(α x) for α in the major arcs andη based on the Gaussian eminust

22 and also (sect14) how to bound |Sη(α x)| for α in theminor arcs and η = η2 where η2 = 4 middot 1[121] lowastM 1[121] We now must show how touse such information to estimate integrals such as the ones in (14)

We will use two smoothing functions η+ ηlowast in the notation of (13) we set f1 =f2 = Λ(n)η+(nx) f3 = Λ(n)ηlowast(nx) and so we must give a lower bound forint

M

(Sη+(α x))2Sηlowast(α x)e(minusαn)dα (135)

and an upper bound for intm

∣∣Sη+(α x)∣∣2 Sηlowast(α x)e(minusαn)dα (136)

15 INTEGRALS OVER THE MAJOR AND MINOR ARCS 25

Since the sum over n is of the order of x log x this is not log-free and so cannot begood enough we will later see how to do better Still this gets the main shape rightour bound on (136) will be proportional to |η+|22|ηlowast|1 Moreover we see that ηlowast hasto be such that we know how to bound |Sηlowast(α x)| for α isin m while our choice of η+

is more or less free at least as far as the minor arcs are concernedWhat about the major arcs In order to do anything on them we will have to be

able to estimate both η+(α) and ηlowast(α) for α isin M If that is the case then as weshall see we will be able to obtain that the main term of (135) is an infinite product(independent of the smoothing functions) times x2 timesint infin

(138)

In other words we want to maximize (or nearly maximize) the expression on the rightof (138) divided by |η+|22|ηlowast|1

One way to do this is to let ηlowast be concentrated on a small interval [0 ε) Then theright side of (138) is approximately

|ηlowast|1 middotint infin

0

η+(t)η+

(nxminus t)dt (139)

To maximize (139) we should make sure that η+(t) sim η+(nxminus t) We set x sim n2and see that we should define η+ so that it is supported on [0 2] and symmetric aroundt = 1 or nearly so this will maximize the ratio of (139) to |η+|22|ηlowast|1

We should do this while making sure that we will know how to estimate Sη+(α x)for α isin M We know how to estimate Sη(α x) very precisely for functions of theform η(t) = g(t)eminust

22 η(t) = g(t)teminust22 etc where g(t) is band-limited We will

work with a function η+ of that form chosen so as to be very close (in `2 norm) to afunction η that is in fact supported on [0 2] and symmetric around t = 1

We choose

η(t) =

t3(2minus t)3eminus(tminus1)22 if t isin [0 2]0 if t 6isin [0 2]

This function is obviously symmetric (η(t) = η(2 minus t)) and vanishes to high orderat t = 0 besides being supported on [0 2]

We set η+(t) = hR(t)teminust22 where hR(t) is an approximation to the function

h(t) =

t2(2minus t)3etminus

12 if t isin [0 2]

0 if t 6isin [0 2]


We just let hR(t) be the inverse Mellin transform of the truncation ofMh to an interval[minusiR iR] (Explicitly

hR(t) =

int infin0

h(tyminus1)FR(y)dy

y

where FR(t) = sin(R log y)(π log y) that is FR is the Dirichlet kernel with a changeof variables)

Since the Mellin transform of teminust22 is regular at s = 0 the Mellin transform

Mη+ will be holomorphic in a neighborhood of s 0 le lt(s) le 1 even thoughthe truncation of Mh to [minusiR iR] is brutal Set R = 200 say By the fast decay ofMh(it) and the fact that the Mellin transform M is an isometry |(hR(t)minush(t))t|2 isvery small and hence so is |η+ minus η|2 as we desired

But what about the requirement that we be able to estimate Sηlowast(α x) for bothα isin m and α isinM

Generally speaking if we know how to estimate Sη1(α x) for some α isin RZ andwe also know how to estimate Sη2(α x) for all other α isin RZ where η1 and η2 aretwo smoothing functions then we know how to estimate Sη3(α x) for all α isin RZwhere η3 = η1 lowastM η2 or more generally ηlowast(t) = (η1 lowastM η2)(κt) κ gt 0 a constantThis is an easy exercise on exchanging the order of integration and summation

(140)and similarly with η1 and η2 switched Of course this trick is valid for all exponentialsums any function f(n) would do in place of Λ(n) The only caveat is that η1 (andη2) should be small very near 0 since for r small we may not be able to estimateSη2(rx) (or Sη1(rx)) with any precision This is not a problem one of our functionswill be t2eminust

22 which vanishes to second order at 0 and the other one will be η2 =4 middot 1[121] lowastM 1[121] which has support bounded away from 0 We will set κ large(say κ = 49) so that the support of ηlowast is indeed concentrated on a small interval [0 ε)as we wanted

Now that we have chosen our smoothing weights η+ and ηlowast we have to estimate themajor-arc integral (135) and the minor-arc integral (136) What follows can actuallybe done for general η+ and ηlowast we could have left our particular choice of η+ and ηlowastfor the end

Estimating the major-arc integral (135) may sound like an easy task since we haverather precise estimates for Sη(α x) (η = η+ ηlowast) when α is on the major arcs wecould just replace Sη(α x) in (135) by the approximation given by (17) and (111) Itis however more efficient to express (135) as the sum of the contribution of the trivialcharacter (a sum of integrals of (η(minusδ)x)3 where η(minusδ)x comes from (111)) plus a


term of the form

(maximum ofradicq middot E(q) for q le r) middot

intM

∣∣Sη+(α x)∣∣2 dα

where E(q) = E is as in (112) plus two other terms of essentially the same form Asusual the major arcs M are the arcs around rationals aq with q le r We will soondiscuss how to bound the integral of

∣∣Sη+(α x)∣∣2 over arcs around rationals aq with

q le s s arbitrary Here however it is best to estimate the integral over M using theestimate on Sη+(α x) from (17) and (111) we obtain a great deal of cancellationwith the effect that for χ non-trivial the error term in (112) appears only when it getssquared and thus becomes negligible

The contribution of the trivial character has an easy approximation thanks to thefast decay of η We obtain that the major-arc integral (135) equals a main termC0Cηηlowastx

plus several small error terms We have already chosen η ηlowast and x so as to (nearly)maximize Cηηlowast

It is time to bound the minor-arc integral (136) As we said in sect15 we must dobetter than the usual bound (137) Since our minor-arc bound (32) on |Sη(α x)|α sim aq decreases as q increases it makes sense to use partial summation togetherwith bounds onint

In order to do better than the trivial boundintMsleintRZ we will need to use the

fact that the series (16) defining Sη+(α x) is essentially supported on prime numbersBounding the integral on Ms is closely related to the problem of bounding

This already gives us the gain of C(log s) log x that we absolutely need butthe constant C is suboptimal the factor in the right side of (142) should really be(log s) log x ie C should be 1 We cannot reasonably hope to obtain a factor betterthan 2(log s) log x in the minor arcs due to what is known as the parity problem insieve theory As it turns out Ramare [Ram09] had given general bounds on the largesieve that were clearly conducive to better bounds on (141) though they involved aratio that was not easy to bound in general

I used several careful estimations (including [Ram95 Lem 34]) to reduce theproblem of bounding this ratio to a finite number of cases which I then checked bya rigorous computation This approach gave a bound on (141) with a factor of sizeclose to 2(log s) log x (This solves the large-sieve problem for s le x03 it wouldstill be worthwhile to give a computation-free proof for all s le x12minusε ε gt 0) It wasthen easy to give an analogous bound for the integral over Ms namelyint

where can easily be made precise by replacing log s by log s + 136 and log x bylog x + c where c is a small constant Without this improvement the main theoremwould still have been proved but the required computation time would have been mul-tiplied by a factor of considerably more than e3γ = 56499

What remained then was just to compare the estimates on (135) and (136) andcheck that (136) is smaller for n ge 1027 This final step was just bookkeeping Aswe already discussed a check for n lt 1027 is easy Thus ends the proof of the maintheorem

16 Some remarks on computationsThere were two main computational tasks verifying the ternary conjecture for all n leC and checking the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for modulus q le r up to acertain height

The first task was not very demanding Platt and I verified in [HP13] that everyodd integer 5 lt n le 88 middot 1030 can be written as the sum of three primes (In theend only a check for 5 lt n le 1027 was needed) We proceeded as follows In amajor computational effort Oliveira e Silva Herzog and Pardi [OeSHP14]) had alreadychecked that the binary Goldbach conjecture is true up to 4 middot 1018 ndash that is every evennumber up to 4 middot 1018 is the sum of two primes Given that all we had to do wasto construct a ldquoprime ladderrdquo that is a list of primes from 3 up to 88 middot 1030 suchthat the difference between any two consecutive primes in the list is at least 4 and atmost 4 middot 1018 (This is a known strategy see [Sao98]) Then for any odd integer

16 SOME REMARKS ON COMPUTATIONS 29

5 lt n le 88 middot 1030 there is a prime p in the list such that 4 le n minus p le 4 middot 1018 + 2(Choose the largest p lt n in the ladder or if n minus that prime is 2 choose the primeimmediately under that) By [OeSHP14] (and the fact that 4 middot 1018 + 2 equals p + qwhere p = 2000000000000001301 and q = 1999999999999998701 are both prime)we can write nminus p = p1 + p2 for some primes p1 p2 and so n = p+ p1 + p2

Building a prime ladder involves only integer arithmetic that is computer manip-ulation of integers rather than of real numbers Integers are something that computerscan handle rapidly and reliably We look for primes for our ladder only among a spe-cial set of integers whose primality can be tested deterministically quite quickly (Prothnumbers k middot 2m + 1 k lt 2m) Thus we can build a prime ladder by a rigorousdeterministic algorithm that can be (and was) parallelized trivially

The second computation is more demanding It consists in verifying that for everyL-function L(s χ) with χ of conductor q le r = 300000 (for q even) or q le r2(for q odd) all zeroes of L(s χ) such that |=(s)| le Hq = 108q (for q odd) and|=(s)| le Hq = max(108q 200 + 75 middot 107q (for q even) lie on the critical lineAs a matter of fact Platt went up to conductor q le 200000 (or twice that for q even)[Plab] he had already gone up to conductor 100000 in his PhD thesis [Pla11] Theverification took in total about 400000 core-hours (ie the total number of processorcores used times the number of hours they ran equals 400000 nowadays a top-of-the-line processor typically has eight cores) In the end since I used only q le 150000 (ortwice that for q even) the number of hours actually needed was closer to 160000 sinceI could have made do with q le 120000 (at the cost of increasing C to 1029 or 1030) itis likely in retrospect that only about 80000 core-hours were needed

Checking zeros of L-functions computationally goes back to Riemann (who didit by hand for the special case of the Riemann zeta function) It is also one of thethings that were tried on digital computers in their early days (by Turing [Tur53] forinstance see the exposition in [Boo06b]) One of the main issues to be careful aboutarises whenever one manipulates real numbers via a computer generally speaking acomputer cannot store an irrational number moreover while a computer can handlerationals it is really most comfortable handling just those rationals whose denomina-tors are powers of two Thus one cannot really say ldquocomputer give me the sine ofthat numberrdquo and expect a precise result What one should do if one really wants toprove something (as is the case here) is to say ldquocomputer I am giving you an intervalI = [a2k b2k] give me an interval I prime = [c2` d2`] preferably very short suchthat sin(I) sub I primerdquo This is called interval arithmetic it is arguably the easiest way to dofloating-point computations rigorously

Processors do not do this natively and if interval arithmetic is implemented purelyon software computations can be slowed down by a factor of about 100 Fortunatelythere are ways of running interval-arithmetic computations partly on hardware partlyon software

Incidentally there are some basic functions (such as sin) that should always be doneon software not just if one wants to use interval arithmetic but even if one just wantsreasonably precise results the implementation of transcendental functions in some ofthe most popular processors does not always round correctly and errors can accumulatequickly Fortunately this problem is already well-known and there is software thattakes care of this (Platt and I used the crlibm library [DLDDD+10])


Lastly there were several relatively minor computations strewn here and there inthe proof There is some numerical integration done rigorously once or twice thiswas done using a standard package based on interval arithmetic [Ned06] but most ofthe time I wrote my own routines in C (using Plattrsquos interval arithmetic package) forthe sake of speed Another kind of computation (employed much more in [Hela] thanin the somewhat more polished version of the proof given here) was a rigorous versionof a ldquoproof by graphrdquo (ldquothe maximum of a function f is clearly less than 4 because Ican see it on the screenrdquo) There is a standard way to do this (see eg [Tuc11 sect52])essentially the bisection method combines naturally with interval arithmetic as weshall describe in sect26 Yet another computation (and not a very small one) was thatinvolved in verifying a large-sieve inequality in an intermediate range (as we discussedin sect15)

It may be interesting to note that one of the inequalities used to estimate (130) wasproven with the help of automatic quantifier elimination [HB11] Proving this inequal-ity was a very minor task both computationally and mathematically in all likelihoodit is feasible to give a human-generated proof Still it is nice to know from first-hand experience that computers can nowadays (pretend to) do something other thanjust perform numerical computations ndash and that this is already applicable in currentmathematical practice

32 CHAPTER 2 NOTATION AND PRELIMINARIES

22 Dirichlet characters and L functions

Let us go over some basic terms A Dirichlet character χ Z rarr C of modulus q is acharacter χ of (ZqZ)lowast lifted to Z with the convention that χ(n) = 0 when (n q) 6= 1(In other words χ is completely multiplicative and periodic modulo q and vanisheson integers not coprime to q) Again by convention there is a Dirichlet character ofmodulus q = 1 namely the trivial character χT Z rarr C defined by χT (n) = 1 forevery n isin Z

If χ is a character modulo q and χprime is a character modulo qprime|q such that χ(n) =χprime(n) for all n coprime to q we say that χprime induces χ A character is primitive if it isnot induced by any character of smaller modulus Given a character χ we write χlowast forthe (uniquely defined) primitive character inducing χ If a character χmod q is inducedby the trivial character χT we say that χ is principal and write χ0 for χ (provided themodulus q is clear from the context) In other words χ0(n) = 1 when (n q) = 1 andχ0(n) = 0 when (n q) = 0

A Dirichlet L-function L(s χ) (χ a Dirichlet character) is defined as the analyticcontinuation of

sumn χ(n)nminuss to the entire complex plane there is a pole at s = 1 if χ

is principalA non-trivial zero of L(s χ) is any s isin C such that L(s χ) = 0 and 0 lt lt(s) lt 1

(In particular a zero at s = 0 is called ldquotrivialrdquo even though its contribution can bea little tricky to work out The same would go for the other zeros with lt(s) = 0occuring for χ non-primitive though we will avoid this issue by working mainly withχ primitive) The zeros that occur at (some) negative integers are called trivial zeros

The critical line is the line lt(s) = 12 in the complex plane Thus the generalizedRiemann hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions reads for every Dirichlet character χall non-trivial zeros of L(s χ) lie on the critical line Verifiable finite versions ofthe generalized Riemann hypothesis generally read for every Dirichlet character χ ofmodulus q le Q all non-trivial zeros of L(s χ) with |=(s)| le f(q) lie on the criticalline (where f Zrarr R+ is some given function)

23 Fourier transforms and exponential sums

The Fourier transform on R is normalized here as follows

f(t) =

int infinminusinfin

e(minusxt)f(x)dx

The trivial bound is |f |infin le |f |1 If f is compactly supported (or of fast enoughdecay as t 7rarr plusmninfin) and piecewise continuous f(t) = f prime(t)(2πit) by integration byparts Iterating we obtain that if f is of fast decay and differentiable k times outsidefinitely many points then

f(t) = Olowast

(|f (k)|infin(2πt)k

)= Olowast

(|f (k)|1(2πt)k

) (21)

23 FOURIER TRANSFORMS AND EXPONENTIAL SUMS 33

Thus for instance if f is compactly supported continuous and piecewise C1 then fdecays at least quadratically

It could happen that |f (k)|1 = infin in which case (21) is trivial (but not false) Inpractice we require f (k) isin L1 In a typical situation f is differentiable k times exceptat x1 x2 xk where it is differentiable only (k minus 2) times the contribution of xi(say) to |f (k)|1 is then | limxrarrx+

(The first bound follows fromsumnisinZ |f(n)| le |f |1 + (12)|f prime|1 which in turn is

a quick consequence of the fundamental theorem of calculus the second bound isproven by summation by parts) The alternative bound (14)|f primeprime|1| sin(πα)|2 givenin [Tao14 Lemma 31] (for f continuous and piecewise C1) can usually be improvedby the following estimate

The trivial bound |f primeprime|infin le |f primeprime|1 applied to (23) recovers the bound in [Tao14Lemma 31] In order to do better we will give a tighter bound for |f primeprime|infin in AppendixB when f is equal to one of our main smoothing functions (f = η2)

Integrals of multiples of f primeprime (in particular |f primeprime|1 and f primeprime) can still be made senseof when f primeprime is undefined at a finite number of points provided f is understood as adistribution (and f prime has finite total variation) This is the case in particular for f = η2

When we need to estimatesumn f(n) precisely we will use the Poisson summation

formula sumn

f(n) =sumn

f(n)

We will not have to worry about convergence here since we will apply the Poissonsummation formula only to compactly supported functions f whose Fourier transformsdecay at least quadratically

24 Mellin transformsThe Mellin transform of a function φ (0infin)rarr C is

Mφ(s) =

int infin0

φ(x)xsminus1dx (25)

If φ(x)xσminus1 is in `1 with respect to dt (ieintinfin

0|φ(x)|xσminus1dx ltinfin) then the Mellin

transform is defined on the line σ+ iR Moreover if φ(x)xσminus1 is in `1 for σ = σ1 andfor σ = σ2 where σ2 gt σ1 then it is easy to see that it is also in `1 for all σ isin (σ1 σ2)and that moreover the Mellin transform is holomorphic on s σ1 lt lt(s) lt σ2 Wethen say that s σ1 lt lt(s) lt σ2 is a strip of holomorphy for the Mellin transform

The Mellin transform becomes a Fourier transform (of η(eminus2πv)eminus2πvσ) by meansof the change of variables x = eminus2πv We thus obtain for example that the Mellintransform is an isometry in the sense thatint infin

Recall that in the case of the Fourier transform for |f |2 = |f |2 to hold it is enoughthat f be in `1 cap `2 This gives us that for (26) to hold it is enough that f(x)xσminus1 bein `1 and f(x)xσminus12 be in `2 (again with respect to dt in both cases)

We write f lowastM g for the multiplicative or Mellin convolution of f and g

(f lowastM g)(x) =

We also have several useful transformation rules just as for the Fourier transformFor example

M(f prime(t))(s) = minus(sminus 1) middotMf(sminus 1)

M(tf prime(t))(s) = minuss middotMf(s)

M((log t)f(t))(s) = (Mf)prime(s)

(210)

(as in eg [BBO10 Table 111])Let

η2 = (2 middot 1[121]) lowastM (2 middot 1[121])

Since (see eg [BBO10 Table 113] or [GR94 sect1643])

(MI[ab])(s) =bs minus as

25 Bounds on sums of micro and Λ

We will need some simple explicit bounds on sums involving the von Mangoldt func-tion Λ and the Moebius function micro In non-explicit work such sums are usuallybounded using the prime number theorem or rather using the properties of the zetafunction ζ(s) underlying the prime number theorem Here however we need robustfully explicit bounds valid over just about any range

For the most part we will just be quoting the literature supplemented with somecomputations when needed The proofs in the literature are sometimes based on prop-erties of ζ(s) and sometimes on more elementary facts


First let us see some bounds involving Λ The following bound can be easilyderived from [RS62 (323)] supplemented by a quick calculation of the contributionof powers of primes p lt 32 sum

nlex

Λ(n)

nle log x (212)

We can derive a bound in the other direction from [RS62 (321)] (for x gt 1000adding the contribution of all prime powers le 1000) and a numerical verification forx le 1000 sum

We also use the following older bounds

For all y gt 663 sumnley

where we use (215) and partial summation for y gt 200000 and a computation for663 lt y le 200000 Using instead the second table in [RR96 p 423] together withcomputations for small y lt 107 and partial summation we get that

for y ge 117 this holds for y ge 2 middot 758699 by [RS75 Cor 2] (applied to x = yx = y2 and x = 2y3) and for 117 le y lt 2 middot 758699 by direct computation

Now let us see some estimates on sums involving micro The situation here is lesssatisfactory than for sums involving Λ The main reason is that the complex-analyticapproach to estimating

sumnleN micro(n) would involve 1ζ(s) rather than ζ prime(s)ζ(s) and

thus strong explicit bounds on the residues of 1ζ(s) would be needed Thus explicitestimates on sums involving micro are harder to obtain than estimates on sums involving ΛThis is so even though analytic number theorists are generally used (from the habit ofnon-explicit work) to see the estimation of one kind of sum or the other as essentiallythe same task

Fortunately in the case of sums of the typesumnlex micro(n)n for x arbitrary (a type of

sum that will be rather important for us) all we need is a saving of (log n) or (log n)2

on the trivial bound This is provided by the following

26 Interval arithmetic and the bisection methodInterval arithmetic has at its basic data type intervals of the form I = [a2` b2`]where a b ` isin Z and a le b Say we have a real number x and we want to know sin(x)In general we cannot represent x in a computer in part because it may have no finitedescription The best we can do is to construct an interval of the form I = [a2` b2`]in which x is contained

What we ask of a routine in an interval-arithmetic package is to construct an intervalI prime = [aprime2`

prime bprime2`

prime] in which sin(I) is contained (In practice this is done partly in

software by means of polynomial approximations to sin with precise error terms andpartly in hardware by means of an efficient usage of rounding conventions) This givesus in effect a value for sin(x) (namely (aprime+ bprime)2`

prime+1) and a bound on the error term(namely (bprime minus aprime)2`prime+1)

There are several implementations of interval arithmetic available We will almostalways use D Plattrsquos implementation [Pla11] of double-precision interval arithmeticbased on Lambovrsquos [Lam08] ideas (At one point we will use the PROFILBIAS inter-val arithmetic package [Knu99] since it underlies the VNODE-LP [Ned06] packagewhich we use to bound an integral)

The bisection method is a particularly simple method for finding maxima and min-ima of functions as well as roots It combines rather nicely with interval arithmeticwhich makes the method rigorous We follow an implementation based on [Tuc11sect52] Let us go over the basic ideas

Let us use the bisection method to find the minima (say) of a function f on acompact interval I0 (If the interval is non-compact we generally apply the bisectionmethod to a compact sub-interval and use other tools eg power-series expansionsin the complement) The method proceeds by splitting an interval into two repeatedlydiscarding the halfs where the minimum cannot be found More precisely if we im-plement it by interval arithmetic it proceeds as follows First in an optional initialstep we subdivide (if necessary) the interval I0 into smaller intervals Ik to which thealgorithm will actually be applied For each k interval arithmetic gives us a lower

26 INTERVAL ARITHMETIC AND THE BISECTION METHOD 39

bound rminusk and an upper bound r+k on f(x) x isin Ik here rminusk and r+

k are both ofthe form a2` a ` isin Z Let m0 be the minimum of r+

k over all k We can discardall the intervals Ik for which rminusk gt m0 Then we apply the main procedure startingwith i = 1 split each surviving interval into two equal halves recompute the lower andupper bound on each half definemi as before to be the minimum of all upper boundsand discard again the intervals on which the lower bound is larger than mi increase iby 1 We repeat the main procedure as often as needed In the end we obtain that theminimum is no smaller than the minimum of the lower bounds (call them (r(i))minusk ) onall surviving intervals I(i)

k Of course we also obtain that the minimum (or minima ifthere is more than one) must lie in one of the surviving intervals

It is easy to see how the same method can be applied (with a trivial modification)to find maxima or (with very slight changes) to find the roots of a real-valued functionon a compact interval

Chapter 3

Introduction

The circle method expresses the number of solutions to a given problem in terms ofexponential sums Let η R+ rarr C be a smooth function Λ the von Mangoldt function(defined as in (15)) and e(t) = e2πit The estimation of exponential sums of the type

Sη(α x) =sumn


where α isin RZ already lies at the basis of Hardy and Littlewoodrsquos approach to theternary Goldbach problem by means of the circle method [HL22] The division of thecircle RZ into ldquomajor arcsrdquo and ldquominor arcsrdquo goes back to Hardy and Littlewoodrsquosdevelopment of the circle method for other problems As they themselves noted as-suming GRH means that for the ternary Goldbach problem all of the circle can bein effect subdivided into major arcs ndash that is under GRH (31) can be estimated withmajor-arc techniques for α arbitrary They needed to make such an assumption pre-cisely because they did not yet know how to estimate Sη(α x) on the minor arcs

Minor-arc techniques for Goldbachrsquos problem were first developed by Vinogradov[Vin37] These techniques make it possible to work without GRH The main obstacleto a full proof of the ternary Goldbach conjecture since then has been that in spite ofgradual improvements minor-arc bounds have simply not been strong enough

As in all work to date our aim will be to give useful upper bounds on (31) forα in the minor bounds rather than the precise estimates that are typical of the major-arc case We will have to give upper bounds that are qualitatively stronger than thoseknown before (In Part III we will also show how to use them more efficiently)

Our main challenge will be to give a good upper bound whenever q is larger than aconstant r Here ldquosufficiently goodrdquo means ldquosmaller than the trivial bound divided bya large constant and getting even smaller quickly as q growsrdquo Our bound must also begood for α = aq + δx where q lt r but δ is large (Such an α may be said to lie onthe tail (δ large) of a major arc (q small))

Of course all expressions must be explicit and all constants in the leading terms ofthe bound must be small Still the main requirement is a qualitative one For instancewe know in advance that a single factor of log x would be the end of us That is we

43


know that if there is a single term of the form say (x log x)q and the trivial boundis about x we are lost (x log x)q is greater than x for x large and q constant

The quality of the results here is due to several new ideas of general applicabilityIn particular sect51 introduces a way to obtain cancellation from Vaughanrsquos identityVaughanrsquos identity is a two-log gambit in that it introduces two convolutions (each ofthem at a cost of log) and offers a great deal of flexibility in compensation One of theideas presented here is that at least one of two logs can be successfully recovered afterhaving been given away in the first stage of the proof This reduces the cost of the useof this basic identity in this and presumably many other problems

There are several other improvements that make a qualitative difference see thediscussions at the beginning of sect4 and sect5 Considering smoothed sums ndash now a com-mon idea ndash also helps (Smooth sums here go back to Hardy-Littlewood [HL22] ndash bothin the general context of the circle method and in the context of Goldbachrsquos ternaryproblem In recent work on the problem they reappear in [Tao14])

31 ResultsThe main bound we are about to see is essentially proportional to ((log q)

The term δ0 serves to improve the bound when we are on the tail of an arc

of course is not smooth or even continuous We use

η(t) = η2(t) = 4 max(log 2minus | log 2t| 0) (34)

32 COMPARISON TO EARLIER WORK 45

as in Tao [Tao14] in part for purposes of comparison (This is the multiplicative con-volution of the characteristic function of an interval with itself) Nearly all work shouldbe applicable to any other sufficiently smooth function η of fast decay It is importantthat η decay at least quadratically

We are not forced to use the same smoothing function as in Part II and we do notAs was explained in the introduction the simple technique (140) allows us to workwith one smoothing function on the major arcs and with another one on the minor arcs

32 Comparison to earlier workTable 31 compares the bounds for the ratio |Sη(aq x)|x given by this paper and by[Tao14][Thm 13] for x = 1027 and different values of q We are comparing worstcases φ(q) as small as possible (q divisible by 2 middot 3 middot 5 middot middot middot ) in the result here and qdivisible by 4 (implying 4α sim a(q4)) in Taorsquos result The main term in the result inthis paper improves slowly with increasing x the results in [Tao14] worsen slowly withincreasing x The qualitative gain with respect to the main term in [Tao14 (110)] is inthe order of log(q)

radicφ(q)q Notice also that the bounds in [Tao14] are not log-free in

[Tao14 (110)] there is a term proportional to x(log x)2q This becomes larger thanthe trivial bound x for x very large

The results in [DR01] are unfortunately worse than the trivial bound in the rangecovered by Table 31 Ramarersquos results ([Ram10 Thm 3] [Ramc Thm 6]) are notapplicable within the range since neither of the conditions log q le (150)(log x)13q le x148 is satisfied Ramarersquos bound in [Ramc Thm 6] is∣∣∣∣∣∣

33 Basic setupIn the minor-arc regime the first step in estimating an exponential sum on the primesgenerally consists in the application of an identity expressing the von Mangoldt func-tion Λ(n) in terms of a sum of convolutions of other functions

331 Vaughanrsquos identityWe recall Vaughanrsquos identity [Vau77b]

Λ = microleU lowast log +microleU lowast ΛleV lowast 1 + microgtU lowast ΛgtV lowast 1 + ΛleV (36)

Table 31 Worst-case upper bounds on xminus1|Sη(a2q x)| for q ge q0 |δ| le 8 x =1027 The trivial bound is 1

where 1 is the constant function 1 and where we write

flez(n) =

f(n) if n le z0 if n gt z

fgtz(n) =

0 if n le zf(n) if n gt z

Here f lowast g denotes the Dirichlet convolution (f lowast g)(n) =sumd|n f(d)g(nd) We can

set the values of U and V however we wishVaughanrsquos identity is essentially a consequence of the Mobius inversion formula

(1 lowast micro)(n) =

1 if n = 10 otherwise

(37)

Indeed by (37)

ΛgtV (n) =sumdm|n

micro(d)ΛgtV (m)

=sumdm|n

microleU (d)ΛgtV (m) +sumdm|n

microgtU (d)ΛgtV (m)

Applying to this the trivial equality ΛgtV = Λ minus ΛleV as well as the simple fact that1 lowast Λ = log we obtain that

ΛgtV (n) =sumd|n

microleU (d) log(nd)minussumdm|n

microleU (d)ΛleV (m) +sumdm|n


By ΛV = ΛgtV + ΛgeV we conclude that Vaughanrsquos identity (36) holdsApplying Vaughanrsquos identity we easily get that for any function η R rarr R any

completely multiplicative function f Z+ rarr C and any x gt 0 U V ge 0sumn

We will use the function

f(n) =

1 if gcd(n v) = 10 otherwise

(310)

where v is a small positive square-free integer (Our final choice will be v = 2) Then

Sη(x α) = SI1 minus SI2 + SII + S0infin + S0w (311)

where Sη(x α) is as in (31) and

S0v =sumn|v

Λ(n)e(αn)η(nx)

The sums SI1 SI2 are called ldquoof type Irdquo the sum SII is called ldquoof type IIrdquo (orbilinear) (The not-all-too colorful nomenclature goes back to Vinogradov) The sumS0infin is in general negligible for our later choice of V and η it will be in fact 0 Thesum S0v will be negligible as well

As we already discussed in the introduction Vaughanrsquos identity is highly flexible(in that we can choose U and V at will) but somewhat inefficient in practice (in that atrivial estimate for the right side of (311) is actually larger than a trivial estimate forthe left side of (311)) Some of our work will consist in regaining part of what is givenup when we apply Vaughanrsquos identity

332 An alternative route

There is an alternative route ndash namely to use a less sacrificial though also more in-flexible identity While this was not in the end the route that was followed let usnevertheless discuss it in some detail in part so that we can understand to what extentit was in retrospect viable and in part so as to see how much of the work we willundertake is really more or less independent of the particular identity we choose

we can see comparing coefficients that

Λ middot log2 = micro lowast log3minus3(Λ middot log) lowast Λminus Λ lowast Λ lowast Λ (313)

as was stated by Bombieri in [Bom76]Here the term microlowast log3 is of the same kind as the term microleU lowast log we have to estimate

if we use Vaughanrsquos identity though the fact that there is no truncation at U means thatone of the error terms will get larger ndash it will be proportional to x in fact if we sumfrom 1 to x The trivial upper bound on the sum of Λ middot log2 from 1 to x is x(log x)2thus an error term of size x is barely acceptable

In general when we have a double or triple sum we are not very good at gettingbetter than trivial bounds in ranges in which all but one of the variables are very smallThis is the source of the large error term that appears in the sum involving micro lowast log3

because we are no longer truncating as for microleU lowast log It will also be the source of otherlarge error terms including one that would be too large ndash namely the one coming fromthe term (Λ middot log) lowast Λ when the variable of Λ middot log is large and that of Λ is small (Thetrivial bound on that range is x log x)

We avoid this problem by substituting the identity Λ middot log = micro lowast log2minusΛ lowastΛ inside(313)

Λ middot log2 = micro lowast log3minus3(micro lowast log2) lowast Λ + 2Λ lowast Λ lowast Λ (314)

(We could also have got this directly from the next-to-last line in (312)) When thevariable of Λ in (micro lowast log2) lowast Λ is small the variable of micro lowast log2 is large and we canestimate the resulting term using the same techniques as for micro lowast log3

It is easy to see that we can in fact mix (313) and (314)

Λ middot log2 = micro lowast log3minus3((Λ middot log) lowast ΛgtV + (micro lowast log2) lowast ΛleV

)+ (minusΛgtV lowast Λ lowast Λ + 2ΛleV lowast Λ lowast Λ)

(315)

for V arbitrary Note here that there is some cancellation in the last term writing

F3V (n) = (minusΛgtV lowast Λ lowast Λ + 2ΛleV lowast Λ lowast Λ) (n) (316)

we can check easily that for n = p1p2p3 square-free with V 3 lt n we have

F3V (n) =

minus6 log p1 log p2 log p3 if all pi gt V 0 if p1 lt p2 le V lt p36 log p1 log p2 log p3 if p1 le V lt p2 lt p312 log p1 log p2 log p3 if all pi le V

33 BASIC SETUP 49

In contrast for n square-free minusΛ lowast Λ lowast Λ(n) is minus6 if n is of the form p1p2p3 and 0otherwise

We may find it useful to take aside two large terms that may need to be boundedtrivially namely micro lowast log3

leu and (Λ middot log)leu lowastΛgtV where u will be a small parameter(We can let for instance u = 3) We conclude that

Λ middot log2 = FI1u(n)minus 3FI2Vu(n)minus 3FIIVu(n) + F3V (n) + F0Vu(n) (317)

whereFI1u = micro lowast log3

gtu

FI2Vu = (micro lowast log2) lowast ΛleV

FIIVu(n) = (Λ middot log)gtu lowast ΛgtV

F0Vu(n) = micro lowast log3leuminus3(Λ middot log)leu lowast ΛgtV

and F3V is as in (316)In the bulk of the present work ndash in particular in all steps that are part of the proof

of Theorem 311 or the Main Theorem ndash we will use Vaughanrsquos identity rather than(317) This choice was made while the proof was still underway it was due mainlyto back-of-the-envelope estimates that showed that the error terms could be too largeif (314) was used Of course this might have been the case with Vaughanrsquos identityas well but the fact that the parameters U V there have a large effect on the outcomemeant that one could hope to improve on insufficient estimates in part by adjusting Uand V without losing all previous work (This is what was meant by the ldquoflexibilityrdquoof Vaughanrsquos identity)

The question remains can one prove ternary Goldbach using (317) rather thanVaughanrsquos identity This seems likely If so which proof would be more complicatedThis is not clear

There are large parts of the work that are the essentially the same in both cases

bull estimates for sums involving microleU lowast logk (ldquotype Irdquo)

bull estimates for sums involving Λgtu lowast ΛgtV and the like (ldquotype IIrdquo)

Trilinear sums ie sums involving ΛlowastΛlowastΛ can be estimated much like bilinear sumsie sums involving Λ lowast Λ

There are also challenges that appear only for Vaughanrsquos identity and others thatappear only for (317) An example of a challenge that is successfully faced in the mainproof but does not appear if (317) is used consists in bounding sums of type

sumUltmlexW

sumdgtUd|m

micro(d)

2

(In sect51 we will be able to bound sums of this type by a constant times xW ) Like-wise large tail terms that have to be estimated trivially seem unavoidable in (317)(The choice of a parameter u gt 1 as above is meant to alleviate the problem)


In the end losing a factor of about log xUV seems inevitable when one usesVaughanrsquos identity but not when one uses (317) Another reason why a full treatmentbased on (317) would also be worthwhile is that it is a somewhat less familiar andarguably under-used identity and deserves more exploration With these commentswe close the discussion of (317) we will henceforth use Vaughanrsquos identity

Chapter 4

Type I sums

Here we must bound sums of the basic typesummleD

micro(m)sumn

e(αmn)η(mnx

)and variations thereof There are three main improvements in comparison to standardtreatments

1 The terms with m divisible by q get taken out and treated separately by analyticmeans This all but eliminates what would otherwise be the main term

2 The other terms get handled by improved estimates on trigonometric sums Forlarge m the improvements have a substantial total effect ndash more than a constantfactor is gained

3 The ldquoerrorrdquo term δx = α minus aq is used to our advantage This happens boththrough the Poisson summation formula and through the use of two alternativeapproximations to the same number α

The fact that a continuous weight η is used (ldquosmoothingrdquo) is a difference with respectto the classical literature ([Vin37] and what followed) but not with respect to morerecent work (including [Tao14]) using smooth or continuous weights is an idea thathas become commonplace in analytic number theory even though it is not consistentlyapplied The improvements due to smoothing in type I are both relatively minor andessentially independent of the improvements due to (1) and (3) The use of a contin-uous weight combines nicely with (2) but the ideas given here would give qualitativeimprovements in the treatment of trigonometric sums even in the absence of smoothing

41 Trigonometric sumsThe following lemmas on trigonometric sums improve on the best Vinogradov-typelemmas in the literature (By this we mean results of the type of Lemma 8a and

51

52 CHAPTER 4 TYPE I SUMS

Lemma 8b in [Vin04 Ch I] See in particular the work of Daboussi and Rivat [DR01Lemma 1]) The main idea is to switch between different types of approximation withinthe sum rather than just choosing between bounding all terms either trivially (by A)or non-trivially (by C| sin(παn)|2) There will also1 be improvements in our appli-cations stemming from the fact that Lemmas 411 and Lemma 412 take quadratic(| sin(παn)|2) rather than linear (| sin(παn)|) inputs (These improved inputs comefrom the use of smoothing elsewhere)

where |δ1(j)| and |δ2| are both le 12q we can assume δ2 ge 0 The variable r =aj + c mod q occupies each residue class mod p exactly once

One option is to bound the terms corresponding to r = 0minus1 by A each and allthe other terms by C| sin(παn)|2 (This can be seen as the simple case it will takeus about a page just because we should estimate all sums and all terms here with greatcare ndash as in [DR01] only more so)

We bound a term min(AC sin((πq)(rprime minus 12 plusmn qδ2))2) by A if and only ifC sin((πq)(rprimeminus 1plusmn qδ2))2 ge A (In other words we are choosing which of the twobounds A C| sin(παn)|2 on a case-by-case basis ie for each n instead of makinga single choice for all n in one go This is hardly anything deep but it does result ina marked improvement with respect to the literature and would give an improvementeven if we were given a bound B| sin(παn)| instead of a bound C| sin(παn)|2 asinput) The number of such terms is

le max(0 b(qπ) arcsin(radicCA)∓ qδ2c)

and thus at most (2qπ) arcsin(radicCA) in total (Recall that qδ2 le 12) Each

other term gets bounded by the integral of C sin2(παq) from rprime minus 1 plusmn qδ2 (ge(qπ) arcsin(

42 Type I estimatesLet us give our first main type I estimate2 One of the main innovations is the mannerin which the ldquomain termrdquo (m divisible by q) is separated we are able to keep error

2The current version of Lemma 421 is an improvement over that included in the first version of thepreprint [Helb]

42 TYPE I ESTIMATES 57

terms small thanks to the particular way in which we switch between two differentapproximations

(These are not necessarily successive approximations in the sense of continuedfractions we do not want to assume that the approximation aq we are given arisesfrom a continued fraction and at any rate we need more control on the denominator qprime

of the new approximation aprimeqprime than continued fractions would furnish)The following lemma is a theme so to speak to which several variations will be

given Later in practice we will always use one of the variations rather than theoriginal lemma itself This is so just because even though (48) is the basic type ofsum we treat in type I the sums that we will have to estimate in practice will alwayspresent some minor additional complication Proving the lemma we are about to givein full will give us a chance to see all the main ideas at work leaving complications forlater

In (49) min(1 c0(2πδ)2) always equals 1 when |δ| le 12c2 (since (35)(1 +radic

Proof Let Q = bx|δq|c Then α = aq + Olowast(1qQ) and q le Q (If δ = 0 welet Q = infin and ignore the rest of the paragraph since then we will never need Qprime orthe alternative approximation aprimeqprime) Let Qprime = d(1 + ε)Qe ge Q + 1 Then α is notaq + Olowast(1qQprime) and so there must be a different approximation aprimeqprime (aprime qprime) = 1qprime le Qprime such that α = aprimeqprime + Olowast(1qprimeQprime) (since such an approximation alwaysexists) Obviously |aq minus aprimeqprime| ge 1qqprime yet at the same time |aq minus aprimeqprime| le1qQ+ 1qprimeQprime le 1qQ+ 1((1 + ε)qprimeQ) Hence qprimeQ+ q((1 + ε)Q) ge 1 and soqprime ge Qminusq(1+ε) ge (ε(1+ε))Q (Note also that (ε(1+ε))Q ge (2|δq|x)middotbxδqc gt1 and so qprime ge 2)

Lemma 412 will enable us to treat separately the contribution from terms withm divisible by q and m not divisible by q provided that m le Q2 Let M =min(Q2 D) We start by considering all terms with m le M divisible by q Thene(αmn) equals e((δmx)n) By Poisson summation

sumn

e(αmn)η(mnx) =sumn

where f(u) = e((δmx)u)η((mx)u) Now

We will bound |η(minusδ)| by (21)As we have just seen estimating the contribution of the terms with m divisible by

q and not too large (m le M ) involves isolating a main term estimating it carefully(with cancellation) and then bounding the remaining error terms

We will now bound the contribution of all other m ndash that is m not divisible by qand m larger than M Cancellation will now be used only within the inner sum thatis we will bound each inner sum

Tm(α) =sumn

e(αmn)η(mnx

)

and then we will carefully consider how to bound sums of |Tm(α)| over m efficientlyBy (22) and Lemma 231

To bound the terms with m le M we can use Lemma 412 The question is thenwhich one is smaller the first or the second bound given by Lemma 412 A briefcalculation gives that the second bound is smaller (and hence preferable) exactly whenradicCA gt (3π10q)(1 +

radic133) Since

radicCA sim (

radicc02)mx this means that

it is sensible to prefer the second bound in Lemma 412 when m gt c2xq wherec2 = (3π5

radicc0)(1 +

radic133)

It thus makes sense to ask does Q2 le c2xq (so that m le M implies m lec2xq) This question divides our work into two basic cases


Case (a) δ large |δ| ge 12c2 where c2 = (3π5radicc0)(1 +

radic133) Then

Q2 le c2xq this will induce us to bound the first sum in (415) by the first bound inLemma 412

Recall that M = min(Q2 D) and so M le c2xq By (414) and Lemma 412

(416)where to bound the smaller terms we are using the inequality Q2 le c2xq andwhere we are also using the observation that since |δx| le 1qQ0 the assumption|δ| ge 12c2 implies that q le 2c2xQ0 moreover since q le Q0 this gives us thatq2 le 2c2x In the main term we are bounding qM2x from above by M middot qQ2x leM2δ le c2M

If D le (Q + 1)2 then M ge bDc and so (416) is all we need the second sumin (415) is empty Assume from now on that D gt (Q+ 1)2 The first sum in (415)is then bounded by (416) (with M = Q2) To bound the second sum in (415) wewill use the approximation aprimeqprime instead of aq The motivation is the following ifwe used the approximation aq even for m gt Q2 the contribution of the terms withq|m would be too large When we use aprimeqprime the contribution of the terms with qprime|m(or m equiv plusmn1 mod qprime) is very small only a fraction 1qprime (tiny since qprime is large) of allterms are like that and their individual contribution is always small precisely becausem gt Q2

We obtain (414) but with Tm instead of Tm A = (x2y1)(1 + |ηprime|1(xy1)) andC = (c02)(y2x) and so c1 = 1 + |ηprime|1(xD)

The rest of the proof of Lemma 421 carries almost over word-by-word (For thesake of simplicity we do not really try to take advantage of the odd support of mhere) Since C has doubled it would seem to make sense to reset the value of c2 to bec2 = (3π5

radic2c0)(1 +

radic133) this would cause complications related to the fact that

5c0c23π2 would become larger than 2

radicc0π and so we set c2 to the slightly smaller

value c2 = 6π5radicc0 instead This implies

5c0c23π2

=2radicc0π

(437)

The bound from (416) gets multiplied by 2 (but the value of c2 has changed) thesecond line in (419) gets halved (421) gets replaced by (437) the second term inthe maximum in the second line of (423) gets doubled the bound from (424) getsdoubled and the bound from (426) gets halved

We will also need a version of Lemma 421 (or rather Lemma 422 we will decideto work with the restriction that n and m be odd) with a factor of (log n) within theinner sum This is the sum SI1 in (39)

(448)We sum with (446) and (447) and obtain (441) as an upper bound for (443) (Just asin the proof of Lemma 421 the term (5c0c2(3π

2))Dprime log(radicexDprime) is smaller than

the term (2radicc1c0π)R log exR in (448) and thus gets absorbed by it when D gt R

If D le R then again as in Lemma 421 the sumsumRltmleD |Tm(α)| is empty and

we bound (5c0c2(3π2))Dprime log(

radicexDprime) by the term (2

radicc1c0π)D log exD which

would not appear otherwise)

Now comes the time to focus on our second type I sum namelysumvleVv odd

Λ(v)sumuleUu odd

micro(u)sumn

n odd

e(αvun)η(vunx)

which corresponds to the term SI2 in (39) The innermost two sums on their ownare a sum of type I we have already seen Accordingly for q small we will be able tobound them using Lemma 422 If q is large then that approach does not quite worksince then the approximation avq to vα is not always good enough (As we shall latersee we need q le Qv for the approximation to be sufficiently close for our purposes)

Fortunately when q is large we can also afford to lose a factor of log since thegains from q will be large Here is the estimate we will use for q large

Type II sums

We must now consider the sum

SII =summgtU

(mv)=1

sumdgtUd|m

micro(d)

sumngtV

(nv)=1

Λ(n)e(αmn)η(mnx) (51)

Here the main improvements over classical treatments of type II sums are as fol-lows

1 obtaining cancellation in the term sumdgtUd|m

micro(d)

leading to a gain of a factor of log

2 using a large sieve for primes getting rid of a further log

3 exploiting via a non-conventional application of the principle of the large sieve(Lemma 521) the fact that α is in the tail of an interval (when that is the case)

It should be clear that these techniques are of general applicability (It is also clear that(2) is not new though strangely enough it seems not to have been applied to Gold-bachrsquos problem Perhaps this oversight is due to the fact that proofs of Vinogradovrsquosresult given in textbooks often follow Linnikrsquos dispersion method rather than the largesieve Our treatment of the large sieve for primes will follow the lines set by Mont-gomery and Montgomery-Vaughan [MV73 (16)] The fact that the large sieve forprimes can be combined with the new technique (3) is of course a novelty)

While (1) is particularly useful for the treatment of a term that generally arises inapplications of Vaughanrsquos identity all of the points above address issues that can arisein more general situations in number theory

78 CHAPTER 5 TYPE II SUMS

It is technically helpful to express η as the (multiplicative) convolution of two func-tions of compact support ndash preferrably the same function

η(x) = η1 lowastM η1 =

int infin0

η1(t)η1(xt)dt

t (52)

For the smoothing function η(t) = η2(t) = 4 max(log 2 minus | log 2t| 0) equation (52)holds with η1 = 2 middot 1[121] where 1[121] is the characteristic function of the interval[12 1] We will work with η = η2 yet most of our work will be valid for any η of theform η = η1 lowast η1

By (52) the sum (51) equals

(53)by the substitution t = (mx)W (We can assume V le W le xU because otherwiseone of the sums in (54) is empty) As we can see the sums within the integral are nowunsmoothed This will not be truly harmful and to some extent it will be convenientin that ready-to-use large-sieve estimates in the literature have been optimized morecarefully for unsmoothed sums than for smooth sums The fact that the sums start atx2W and W2 rather than at 1 will also be slightly helpful

(This is presumably why the weight η2 was introduced in [Tao14] which also usesthe large sieve As we will later see the weight η2 ndash or anything like it ndash will simplynot do on the major arcs which are much more sensitive to the choice of weights Onthe minor arcs however η2 is convenient and this is why we use it here For type Isums ndash as should be clear from our work so far which was stated for general weightsndash any function whose second derivative exists almost everywhere and lies in `1 woulddo just as well The option of having no smoothing whatsoever ndash as in Vinogradovrsquoswork or as in most textbook accounts ndash would not be quite as good for type I sumsand would lead to a routine but inconvenient splitting of sums into short intervals inplace of (53))

We now do what is generally the first thing in type II treatments we use Cauchy-Schwarz A minor note however that may help avoid confusion the treatments fa-miliar to some readers (eg the dispersion method not followed here) start with thespecial case of Cauchy-Schwarz that is most common in number theory∣∣∣∣∣∣

whereas here we apply the general rule

summ

to the integrand in (53) At any rate we will have reduced the estimation of a sumto the estimation of two simpler sums

summ |am|2

summ |bm|2 but each of these two

simpler sums will be of a kind that we will lead to a loss of a factor of log x (or(log x)3) if not estimated carefully Since we cannot afford to lose a single factor oflog x we will have to deploy and develop techniques to eliminate these factors of log xThe procedure followed will be quite different for the two sums a variety of techniqueswill be needed

We separate n prime and n non-prime in the integrand of (53) and as we weresaying we apply Cauchy-Schwarz We obtain that the expression within the integral in(53) is at most

(by [RS62 Thm 13]) We will assume V le w thus the condition (p v) = 1 will befulfilled automatically and can be removed

The contribution of S3(W ) will be negligible We must bound S1(UW ) andS2(U VW ) from above


51 The sum S1 cancellationWe shall bound

S1(UW ) =sum

max(Ux2W )ltmlexW(mv)=1

sumdgtUd|m

(56)

There will be a surprising amount of cancellation the expression within the sumwill be bounded by a constant on average ndash a constant less than 1 and usually less than12 in fact In other words the inner sum in (56) is exactly 0 most of the time

Recall that we need explicit constants throughout and that this essentially con-strains us to elementary means (We will at one point use Dirichlet series and ζ(s) fors real and greater than 1)

511 Reduction to a sum with microIt is tempting to start by applying Mobius inversion to change d gt U to d le U in(56) but this just makes matters worse We could also try changing variables so thatmd (which is smaller than xUW ) becomes the variable instead of d but this leadsto complications for m non-square-free Instead we write

512 Explicit bounds for a sum with microWe must estimate the expression within parentheses in (519) It is not too hard toshow that it tends to 0 the first part of the proof of Lemma 512 will reduce this to thefact that

sumn micro(n)n = 0 Obtaining good bounds is a more delicate matter For our

purposes we will need the expression to converge to 0 at least as fast as 1(log)2 witha good constant in front For this task the bound (221) on

sumnlex micro(n)n is enough

This can be checked as follows multiplying by the denominators and changing vari-ables to x s = y1 + y2 and r = y1y2 we obtain an inequality where the left sidequadratic on s with positive leading coefficient must be less than or equal to the rightside which is linear on s The left side minus the right side can be maximal for givenx r only when s is maximal or minimal This happens when y1 = y2 or when eitheryi =

radicx or yi = x for at least one of i = 1 2 In each of these cases we have re-

duced (524) to an inequality in two variables that can be proven automatically1 by aquantifier-elimination program the author has used QEPCAD [HB11] to do this

We use these expressions form le C0 where C0 ge 33 is a constant to be computedlater they will give us the main term For m gt C0 we use the bounds on |g(m)| thatLemma 512 gives us

(Starting now and for the rest of the paper we will focus on the cases v = 1v = 2 when giving explicit computational estimates All of our procedures wouldallow higher values of v as well but as will become clear much later the gains fromhigher values of v are offset by losses and complications elsewhere)

For S lt 100000 we proceed as above but using the exact expression (529) insteadof (530) Note (529) is of the form fsm1(S) + fsm2(S)S where both fsm1(S)and fsm2(S) depend only on bSc (and on s andm) Summing overm le S we obtaina bound of the form sum

where Kv1(n) and Kv2(n) can be computed explicitly for each integer n (For exam-ple Gv(S) = 1minus 1S for 1 le S lt 2 and Gv(S) = 0 for S lt 1)

It is easy to check numerically that this implies that (531) holds not just for S ge100000 but also for 40 le S lt 100000 (if v = 1) or 16 le S lt 100000 (if v =

Note There is another way to obtain cancellation on micro applicable when (xW ) gtUq (as is unfortunately never the case in our main application) For this alternativeto be taken one must either apply Cauchy-Schwarz on n rather than m (resulting inexponential sums over m) or lump together all m near each other and in the same

micro(d) = minussummsimW

and obtain cancellation on d If Uq ge (xW ) however the error term dominates

for U prime = max(U x2W ) W prime = max(VW2) (The condition (p v) = 1 will befulfilled automatically by the assumption V gt v)

From a modern perspective this is clearly a case for a large sieve It is also clear thatwe ought to try to apply a large sieve for sequences of prime support What is subtlerhere is how to do things well for very large q (ie xq small) This is in some sense adual problem to that of q small but it poses additional complications for example it isnot obvious how to take advantage of prime support for very large q

As in type I we avoid this entire issue by forbidding q large and then taking advan-tage of the error term δx in the approximation α = a

q + δx This is one of the main

innovations here Note this alternative method will allow us to take advantage of primesupport

A key situation to study is that of frequencies αi clustering around given rationalsaq while nevertheless keeping at a certain small distance from each other

Lemma 521 Let q ge 1 Let α1 α2 αk isin RZ be of the form αi = aiq + υi0 le ai lt q where the elements υi isin R all lie in an interval of length υ gt 0 and whereai = aj implies |υi minus υj | gt ν gt 0 Assume ν + υ le 1q Then for any WW prime ge 1W prime geW2

Proof For any distinct i j the angles αi αj are separated by at least ν (if ai = aj) orat least 1qminus|υiminusυj | ge 1qminusυ ge ν (if ai 6= aj) Hence we can apply the large sieve(in the optimal N + δminus1 minus 1 form due to Selberg [Sel91] and Montgomery-Vaughan[MV74]) and obtain the bound in (539) with 1 instead of min(1 ) immediately


We can also apply Montgomeryrsquos inequality ([Mon68] [Hux72] see the exposi-tions in [Mon71 pp 27ndash29] and [IK04 sect74]) This gives us that the left side of (539)is at most

Let us first give a bound on sums of the type of S2(U VW ) using prime sup-port but not the error terms (or Lemma 521) This is something that can be donevery well using tools available in the literature (Not all of these tools seem to beknown as widely as they should be) Bounds (542) and (544) are completely standardlarge-sieve bounds To obtain the gain of a factor of log in (543) we use a lemmaof Montgomeryrsquos for whose modern proof (containing an improvement by Huxley)we refer to the standard source [IK04 Lemma 715] The purpose of Montgomeryrsquoslemma is precisely to gain a factor of log in applications of the large sieve to sequencessupported on the primes To use the lemma efficiently we apply Montgomery andVaughanrsquos large sieve with weights [MV73 (16)] rather than more common forms ofthe large sieve (The idea ndash used in [MV73] to prove an improved version of the Brun-Titchmarsh inequality ndash is that Farey fractions (rationals with bounded denominator)are not equidistributed this fact can be exploited if a large sieve with weights is used)

and the statement followsNow consider the case q gt W135 If q is even then in this range inequality

(542) is always better than (543) and so we are done Assume then that W135 ltq le W2 and q is odd We set R = 2 clearly qR2 lt W le Q and q lt W2 le W primeand so this choice of R is valid It remains to check that

Proof We follow the proof of Lemma 522 noting the differences Let

k = min(q dQ2e) ge dq2e

just as before We split (A0 A1] into d(A1 minusA0)ke blocks of at most 2k consecutiveintegers any such block contains at most k odd numbers For odd m mprime in such ablock αm and αmprime are separated by a distance of

|α(mminusmprime)| =∣∣∣∣2α

∣∣∣∣ = |(aq)k| minusOlowast(kqQ) ge 12q

We obtain (550) and (552) just as we obtained (542) and (544) before To obtain(551) proceed again as before noting that the angles we are working with can belabelled as α(m0 + 2a) 0 le a lt q

The idea now (for large δ) is that if δ is not negligible then as m increases andαm loops around the circle RZ αm roughly repeats itself every q steps ndash but with aslight displacement This displacement gives rise to a configuration to which Lemma521 is applicable The effect is that we can apply the large sieve once instead of manytimes thus leading to a gain of a large factor (essentially the number of times the largesieve would have been used) This is how we obtain the factor of |δ| in the denominatorof the main term x|δ|q in (556) and (557)


Proposition 524 Let x ge W ge 1 W prime ge W2 U prime ge x2W Let Q ge 35W Let2α = aq + δx (a q) = 1 |δx| le 1qQ q le Q Let S2(U primeW primeW ) be as in(538) with v = 2

The trivial bound would be in the order of

In practice (555) gets applied when W ge xq

Proof Let us first prove statements (554) and (553) which do not involve δ Assumefirst q leW2 Then by (551) with A0 = U prime A1 = xW

This implies (553)If W gt x4q apply (544) with = x4Wq ρ = 1 This yields (555)Assume now that δ 6= 0 and x4W + q le x|δq| Let Qprime = x|δq| For any m1

The conditions of Lemma 521 are thus fulfilled with υ = (x4W ) middot |δ|x and ν =|δq|x We obtain that S2(U primeW primeW ) is at most

Lastly assume δ 6= 0 and q le ρQ We let Qprime = x|δq| ge Q again and we splitthe range U prime lt m le xW into intervals of length 2(Qprime minus q) so that (558) still holdswithin each interval We apply Lemma 521 with υ = (Qprimeminus q) middot |δ|x and ν = |δq|xWe obtain that S2(U primeW primeW ) is at most(

Chapter 6

Minor-arc totals

It is now time to make all of our estimates fully explicit choose our parameters putour type I and type II estimates together and give our final minor-arc estimates

Let x gt 0 be given Starting in section 631 we will assume that x ge x0 =216 middot1020 We will choose our main parameters U and V gradually as the need ariseswe assume from the start that 2 middot 106 le V lt x4 and UV le x

We are also given an angle α isin RZ We choose an approximation 2α = aq +δx (a q) = 1 q le Q |δx| le 1qQ The parameter Q will be chosen later weassume from the start that Q ge max(16 2

radicx) and Q ge max(2U xU)

(Actually U and V will be chosen in different ways depending on the size of qActually evenQ will depend on the size of q this may seem circular but what actuallyhappens is the following we will first set a value for Q depending only on x and ifthe corresponding value of q le Q is larger than a certain parameter y depending on xthen we reset U V and Q and obtain a new value of q)

Let SI1 SI2 SII S0 be as in (39) with the smoothing function η = η2 as in(34) (We bounded the type I sums SI1 SI2 for a general smoothing function η it isonly here that we are specifying η)

The term S0 is 0 because V lt x4 and η2 is supported on [minus14 1] We set v = 2

61 The smoothing functionFor the smoothing function η2 in (34)

|η2|1 = 1 |ηprime2|1 = 8 log 2 |ηprimeprime2 |1 = 48 (61)

as per [Tao14 (59)ndash(513)] Similarly for η2ρ(t) = log(ρt)η2(t) where ρ ge 4

|η2ρ|1 lt log(ρ)|η2|1 = log(ρ)

|ηprime2ρ|1 = 2η2ρ(12) = 2 log(ρ2)η2(12) lt (8 log 2) log ρ

|ηprimeprime2ρ|1 = 4 log(ρ4) + |2 log ρminus 4 log(ρ4)|+ |4 log 2minus 4 log ρ|+ | log ρminus 4 log 2|+ | log ρ| lt 48 log ρ

(62)

102 CHAPTER 6 MINOR-ARC TOTALS

In the first inequality we are using the fact that log(ρt) is always positive (and less thanlog(ρ)) when t is in the support of η2


62 Contributions of different types

621 Type I terms SI1The term SI1 can be handled directly by Lemma 423 with ρ0 = 4 and D = U (Condition (438) is valid thanks to (62)) Since U le Q2 the contribution of SI1gets bounded by (440) and (441) the absolute value of SI1 is at most

and so vaq is a valid approximation to 2vα (Here we are using v to label an integervariable bounded above by v le V we no longer need v to label the quantity in (310)since that has been set equal to the constant 2) Moreover for Qv = Qv we see that2vα = (vaq) +Olowast(1qQv) If α = aq + δx then vα = vaq + δ(xv) Now

where S1 S2 and S3 are as in (54) and (55) We bounded S1 in (533) and (534) S2

in Prop 524 and S3 in (55)


Let us try to give some structure to the bookkeeping we must now inevitably doThe second integral in (615) will be negligible (because S3 is) let us focus on the firstintegral

Thanks to our work in sect51 the term S1(UW ) is bounded by a (small) constanttimes xW (This represents a gain of several factors of log with respect to the trivialbound) We bounded S2(U VW ) using the large sieve we expected and got a boundthat is better than trivial by a factor of size roughly radicq log x ndash the exact factor inthe bound depends on the value of W In particular it is only in the central part of therange for W that we will really be able to save a factor of radicq log x as opposed tojust radicq We will have to be slightly clever in order to get a good total bound in theend

We first recall our estimate for S1 In the whole range [V xU ] for W we knowfrom (533) (534) and (537) that S1(UW ) is at most

whereκ0 = 127

(We recall we are working with v = 2)We have better estimates for the constant in front in some parts of the range in

what is usually the main part (534) and (536) give us a constant of 015107 insteadof 2π2 Note that 127ζ(32)3 = 226417 We should choose U V so that thefirst term in (616) dominates For the while being assume only

sense to apply (556) only when |δ| ge 8 otherwise (554) is almost certainly betterNow by definition |δ|x le 1qQ and so |δ| ge 8 can happen only when q le x8Q

With this in mind let us apply (556) assuming |δ| gt 8 Note first that

We must bound the exponential sumsumn Λ(n)e(αn)η(nx) By (38) it is enough to

(Incidentally at this point we could already give a back-of-the-envelope estimatefor the last line of (645) ie our main term It suggests that choosing w = 1 insteadof w = 2 would have given bounds worse by about 15 percent)

We make the choices

for the sake of simplicity (Unsurprisingly (645) changes very slowly around its min-imum) Note by the way that this means that ε0 = (2 log 2)

Now we must decide how to choose U V and Q given our choice of UV We willactually make two sets of choices


First we will use the SI2 estimates for q le QV to treat all α of the form α =aq +Olowast(1qQ) q le y (Here y is a parameter satisfying y le QV )

Then the remaining α will get treated with the (coarser) SI2 estimate for q gtQV with Q reset to a lower value (call it Qprime) If α was not treated in the first go (sothat it must be dealt with the coarser estimate) then α = aprimeqprime + δprimex where eitherqprime gt y or δprimeqprime gt xQ (Otherwise α = aprimeqprime +Olowast(1qprimeQ) would be a valid estimatewith qprime le y) The value of Qprime is set to be smaller than Q both because this is helpful(it diminishes error terms that would be large for large q) and because this is harmless(since we are no longer assuming that q le QV )

as an alternative to (648) for |δ| ge 8 (In several of these expressions we are apply-ing some minor simplifications that our later choices will justify Of course even ifthese simplifications were not justified we would not be getting incorrect results onlypotentially suboptimal ones we are trying to decide how choose certain parameters)

In addition we have a relatively mild but important dependence on V in the mainterm (644) even when we hold UV constant (as we do in so far as we have alreadychosen UV ) We must also respect the condition q le QV the lower bound onU given by (617) and the assumptions made at the beginning of the chapter (egQ ge xU V ge 2 middot 106) Recall that UV = x2

radicqδ0

We setQ =

since we will then have not just q le y but also q|δ| le xQ = 8y and so qδ0 le 2yWe want q le QV to be true whenever q le y this means that

It is time to sum up SI1 SI2 and SII The main terms come from the first lineof (662) and the first term of (659) Lesser-order terms can be dealt with roughlywe bound min(1 cprime0δ

2) and min(1 4cprime0δ2) from above by 2δ0 (using the fact that

cprime0 = 0798437 lt 16 which implies that 8δ gt 4cprime0δ2 for δ gt 8 of course for δ le 8

we have min(1 4cprime0δ2) le 1 = 22 = 2δ0)

632 Second choice of parameters

If with the original choice of parameters we obtained q gt y = x136 we now resetour parameters (Q U and V ) Recall that while the value of q may now change (due tothe change inQ) we will be able to assume that either q gt y or |δq| gt x(x8y) = 8y


We want U(xUV ) ge 5 middot 105 (this is (617)) We also want UV small With thisin mind we let

V =x13

3 U = 500

radic6x13 Q =

U=

500radic

Then (617) holds (as an equality) Since we are assuming (650) we have V ge 2 middot106It is easy to check that (650) also implies that U le

radicx2 and Q ge 2

radicx and so the

inequalities in (651) all holdWrite 2α = aq + δx for the new approximation we must have either q gt y or

|δ| gt 8yq since otherwise aq would already be a valid approximation under the firstchoice of parameters Thus either (a) q gt y or both (b1) |δ| gt 8 and (b2) |δ|q gt 8ySince now V = 2y we have q gt V2θ in case (a) and |δq| gt Vθ in case (b) for anyθ ge 1 We set θ = 4

(Thanks to this choice of θ we have |δq| le xQ le xθU as we commented at theend of sect623 this will help us avoid some case-work later)

Major arcs overview andresults

Our task as in Part I will be to estimate

Sη(α x) =sumn


where η R+ rarr C us a smooth function Λ is the von Mangoldt function and e(t) =e2πit Here we will treat the case of α lying on the major arcs

We will see how we can obtain good estimates by using smooth functions η basedon the Gaussian eminust

22 This will involve proving new fully explicit bounds for theMellin transform of the twisted Gaussian or what is the same bounds on paraboliccylindrical functions in certain ranges It will also require explicit formulae that aregeneral and strong enough even for moderate values of x

Let α = aq + δx For us saying that α lies on a major arc will be the same assaying that q and δ are bounded more precisely q will be bounded by a constant r and|δ| will be bounded by a constant times rq As is customary on the major arcs wewill express our exponential sum (31) as a linear combination of twisted sums

Sηχ(δx x) =

infinsumn=1


for χ Zrarr C a Dirichlet character mod q ie a multiplicative character on (ZqZ)lowast

lifted to Z (The advantage here is that the phase term is now e(δnx) rather thane(αn) and e(δnx) varies very slowly as n grows) Our task then is to estimateSηχ(δx x) for δ small

Estimates on Sηχ(δx x) rely on the properties of DirichletL-functionsL(s χ) =sumn χ(n)nminuss What is crucial is the location of the zeroes of L(s χ) in the critical strip

0 le lt(s) le 1 (a region in which L(s χ) can be defined by analytic continuation) Incontrast to most previous work we will not use zero-free regions which are too narrowfor our purposes Rather we use a verification of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesisup to bounded height for all conductors q le 300000 (due to D Platt [Plab])

The advantage of η(t) = t2ηhearts(t) over ηhearts is that it vanishes at the origin (to secondorder) as we shall see this makes it is easier to estimate exponential sums with thesmoothing η lowastM g where lowastM is a Mellin convolution and g is nearly arbitrary Here isa good example that is used crucially in Part III

Let us now look at a different kind of modification of the Gaussian smoothing Saywe would like a weight of a specific shape for example what we will need to do inPart III we would like an approximation to the function

η t 7rarr

t3(2minus t)3eminus(tminus1)22 for t isin [0 2]0 otherwise

(73)

At the same time what we have is an estimate for the Mellin transform of the Gaussianeminust

22 centered at t = 0The route taken here is to work with an approximation η+ to η We let

η+(t) = hH(t) middot teminust22 (74)

where hH is a band-limited approximation to

h(t) =

t2(2minus t)3etminus12 if t isin [0 2]0 otherwise

(75)

By band-limited we mean that the restriction of the Mellin transform of hH to theimaginary axis is of compact support (We could alternatively let hH be a functionwhose Fourier transform is of compact support this would be technically easier insome ways but it would also lead to using GRH verifications less efficiently)

To be precise we define

FH(t) =sin(H log y)

π log y

hH(t) = (h lowastM FH)(y) =

int infin0

h(tyminus1)FH(y)dy

y

(76)

and H is a positive constant It is easy to check that MFH(iτ) = 1 for minusH ltτ lt H and MFH(iτ) = 0 for τ gt H or τ lt minusH (unsurprisingly since FH is aDirichlet kernel under a change of variables) Since in general the Mellin transform ofa multiplicative convolution f lowastM g equals Mf middotMg we see that the Mellin transform


of hH on the imaginary axis equals the truncation of the Mellin transform of h to[minusiH iH] Thus hH is a band-limited approximation to h as we desired

The distinction between the odd and the even case in the statement that followssimply reflects the two different points up to which computations where carried out in[Plab] these computations were in turn to some extent tailored to the needs of thepresent work (as was the shape of η+ itself)

Theorem 714 Let η(t) = η+(t) = hH(t)teminust22 where hH is as in (76) and

H = 200 Let x be a real numberge 1012 Let χ be a primitive character mod q where1 le q le 150000 if q is odd and 1 le q le 300000 if q is even

This is a paradigmatic example in that following the proof given in sect94 we canbound exponential sums with weights of the form hH(t)eminust

These regions seem too narrow to yield a proof of the three-primes theorem Whatwe will use instead is a finite verification of GRH ldquoup to Tqrdquo ie a computation show-ing that for every Dirichlet character of conductor q le r0 (r0 a constant as above)every non-trivial zero ρ = σ + iτ with |τ | le Tq satisfies lt(σ) = 12 Such verifica-tions go back to Riemann modern computer-based methods are descended in part froma paper by Turing [Tur53] (See the historical article [Boo06b]) In his thesis [Pla11]D Platt gave a rigorous verification for r0 = 105 Tq = 108q In coordination withthe present work he has extended this to

bull all odd q le 3 middot 105 with Tq = 108q

bull all even q le 4 middot 105 with Tq = max(108q 200 + 75 middot 107q)

This was a major computational effort involving in particular a fast implementationof interval arithmetic (used for the sake of rigor)

What remains to discuss then is how to choose η in such a way Fδ(ρ) decreasesfast enough as |τ | increases so that (77) gives a good estimate We cannot hope forFδ(ρ) to start decreasing consistently before |τ | is at least as large as a constant times|δ| Since δ varies within (minuscr0q cr0q) this explains why Tq is taken inverselyproportional to q in the above As we will work with r0 ge 150000 we also see that wehave little margin for maneuver we want Fδ(ρ) to be extremely small already for say|τ | ge 80|δ| We also have a Scylla-and-Charybdis situation courtesy of the uncertaintyprinciple roughly speaking Fδ(ρ) cannot decrease faster than exponentially on |τ ||δ|both for |δ| le 1 and for δ large

The most delicate case is that of δ large since then |τ ||δ| is small It turns outwe can manage to get decay that is much faster than exponential for δ large while noslower than exponential for δ small This we will achieve by working with smoothingfunctions based on the (one-sided) Gaussian ηhearts(t) = eminust

22The Mellin transform of the twisted Gaussian e(δt)eminust

22 is a parabolic cylinderfunction U(a z) with z purely imaginary Since fully explicit estimates for U(a z)z imaginary have not been worked in the literature we will have to derive them our-selves

Once we have fully explicit estimates for the Mellin transform of the twisted Gaus-sian we are able to use essentially any smoothing function based on the Gaussianηhearts(t) = eminust

22 As we already saw we can and will consider smoothing functionsobtained by convolving the twisted Gaussian with another function and also functionsobtained by multiplying the twisted Gaussian with another function All we need to


do is use an explicit formula of the right kind ndash that is a formula that does not as-sume too much about the smoothing function or the region of holomorphy of its Mellintransform but still gives very good error terms with simple expressions

All results here will be based on a single general explicit formula (Lem 911) validfor all our purposes The contribution of the zeros in the critical trip can be handled ina unified way (Lemmas 913 and 914) All that has to be done for each smoothingfunction is to bound a simple integral (in (924)) We then apply a finite verification ofGRH and are done

Chapter 8

The Mellin transform of thetwisted Gaussian

Our aim in this chapter is to give fully explicit yet relatively simple bounds for theMellin transform Fδ(ρ) of e(δt)ηhearts(t) where ηhearts(t) = eminust

22 and δ is arbitrary Therapid decay that results will establish that the Gaussian ηhearts is a very good choice for asmoothing particularly when the smoothing has to be twisted by an additive charactere(δt)

The Gaussian smoothing has been used before in number theory see notablyHeath-Brownrsquos well-known paper on the fourth power moment of the Riemann zetafunction [HB79] What is new here is that we will derive fully explicit bounds on theMellin transform of the twisted Gaussian This means that the Gaussian smoothing willbe a real option in explicit work on exponential sums in number theory and elsewherefrom now on1

As we shall see the choice of smoothing function η(t) = eminust22 can be easily

motivated by the method of stationary phase but the problem is actually solved by thesaddle-point method One of the challenges here is to keep all expressions explicit andpractical

(In particular the more critical estimate (81) is optimal up to a constant dependingon σ the constants we give will be good rather than optimal)

The expressions in Thm 801 can be easily simplified further especially if one isready to introduce some mild constraints and make some sacrifices in the main term

Corollary 802 Let fδ(t) = eminust22e(δt) δ isin R Let Fδ be the Mellin transform of

We are considering Fδ(s + k) and not just Fδ(s) because bounding Fδ(s + k)

enables us to work with smoothing functions equal to or based on tkeminust22 Clearly

we can easily derive bounds with k arbitrary from Thm 801 It is just that we will

81 HOW TO CHOOSE A SMOOTHING FUNCTION 145

use k = 0 1 2 in practice Corollary 802 is meant to be applied to cases where τis larger than a constant (10 say) times |`| and σ cannot be bounded away from 1 ifeither condition fails to hold it is better to apply Theorem 801 directly

Let us end by a remark that may be relevant to applications outside number theoryBy (89) Thm 801 gives us bounds on the parabolic cylinder function U(a z) for zpurely imaginary (Surprisingly there seem to have been no fully explicit bounds forthis case in the literature) The bounds are useful when |=(a)| is at least somewhatlarger than |=(z)| (ie when |τ | is large compared to `) While the Thm 801 is statedfor σ ge 0 (ie for lt(a) ge minus12) extending the result to larger half-planes for a isnot hard

81 How to choose a smoothing functionLet us motivate our choice of smoothing function η The method of stationary phase([Olv74 sect411] [Won01 sectII3])) suggests that the main contribution to the integral

Fδ(t) =

int infin0

e(δt)η(t)tsdt

t(85)

should come when the phase has derivative 0 The phase part of (85) is

e(δt)t=(s)i = e(2πδt+τ log t)i

(where we write s = σ + iτ ) clearly

(2πδt+ τ log t)prime = 2πδ +τ

t= 0

when t = minusτ2πδ This is meaningful when t ge 0 ie sgn(τ) 6= sgn(δ) Thecontribution of t = minusτ2πδ to (85) is then

The absolute value of (86) is

(87)

In other words if sgn(τ) 6= sgn(δ) and δ is not too small asking that Fδ(σ + iτ)decay rapidly as |τ | rarr infin amounts to asking that η(t) decay rapidly as t rarr 0 Thusif we ask for Fδ(σ + iτ) to decay rapidly as |τ | rarr infin for all moderate δ we arerequesting that


1 η(t) decay rapidly as trarrinfin

2 the Mellin transform F0(σ + iτ) decay rapidly as τ rarr plusmninfin

Requirement (2) is there because we also need to consider Fδ(σ+ it) for δ very smalland in particular for δ = 0

There is clearly an uncertainty-principle issue here one cannot do arbitrarily wellin both aspects at the same time Once we are conscious of this the choice η(t) = eminust

in Hardy-Littlewood actually looks fairly good obviously η(t) = eminust decays expo-nentially and its Mellin transform Γ(s + iτ) also decays exponentially as τ rarr plusmninfinMoreover for this choice of η the Mellin transform Fδ(s) can be written explicitlyFδ(s) = Γ(s)(1minus 2πiδ)s

It is not hard to work out an explicit formula2 for η(t) = eminust However it is nothard to see that for Fδ(s) as above Fδ(12 + it) decays like eminust2π|δ| just as weexpected from (87) This is a little too slow for our purposes we will often haveto work with relatively large δ and we would like to have to check the zeroes of Lfunctions only up to relatively low heights t ndash say up to 50|δ| Then eminust2π|δ| gteminus8 = 000033 which is not very small We will settle for a different choice of ηthe Gaussian

The decay of the Gaussian smoothing function η(t) = eminust22 is much faster than

exponential Its Mellin transform is Γ(s2) which decays exponentially as =(s) rarrplusmninfin Moreover the Mellin transform Fδ(s) (δ 6= 0) while not an elementary orvery commonly occurring function equals (after a change of variables) a relativelywell-studied special function namely a parabolic cylinder function U(a z) (or inWhittakerrsquos [Whi03] notation Dminusaminus12(z))

For δ not too small the main term will indeed work out to be proportional toeminus(τ2πδ)22 as the method of stationary phase indicated This is of course muchbetter than eminusτ2π|δ| The ldquocostrdquo is that the Mellin transform Γ(s2) for δ = 0 nowdecays like eminus(π4)|τ | rather than eminus(π2)|τ | This we can certainly afford

2There may be a minor gap in the literature in this respect The explicit formula given in [HL22 Lemma4] does not make all constants explicit The constants and trivial-zero terms were fully worked out forq = 1 by [Wig20] (cited in [MV07 Exercise 12118(c)] the sign of hypκq(z) there seems to be off) Aswas pointed out by Landau (see [Har66 p 628]) [HL22] seems to neglect the effect of the zeros ρ withlt(ρ) = 0 =(ρ) 6= 0 for χ non-primitive (The author thanks R C Vaughan for this information and thereferences)

82 THE TWISTED GAUSSIAN OVERVIEW AND SETUP 147

for lt(a) gt minus12 the function can be extended to all a z isin C either by analyticcontinuation or by other integral representations ([AS64 sect195] [Tem10 sect125(i)])Hence

Fδ(s) = e(πiδ)2Γ(s)U

(sminus 1

2minus2πiδ

) (89)

The second argument of U is purely imaginary it would be otherwise if a Gaussian ofnon-zero mean were chosen

Let us briefly discuss the state of knowledge up to date on Mellin transforms ofldquotwistedrdquo Gaussian smoothings that is eminust

22 multiplied by an additive charactere(δt) As we have just seen these Mellin transforms are precisely the parabolic cylin-der functions U(a z)

The function U(a z) has been well-studied for a and z real see eg [Tem10]Less attention has been paid to the more general case of a and z complex The mostnotable exception is by far the work of Olver [Olv58] [Olv59] [Olv61] [Olv65] hegave asymptotic series for U(a z) a z isin C These were asymptotic series in the senseof Poincare and thus not in general convergent they would solve our problem if andonly if they came with error term bounds Unfortunately it would seem that all fullyexplicit error terms in the literature are either for a and z real or for a and z outsideour range of interest (see both Olverrsquos work and [TV03]) The bounds in [Olv61]involve non-explicit constants Thus we will have to find expressions with expliciterror bounds ourselves Our case is that of a in the critical strip z purely imaginary

822 General approach

We will use the saddle-point method (see eg [dB81 sect5] [Olv74 sect47] [Won01sectII4]) to obtain bounds with an optimal leading-order term and small error terms (Weused the stationary-phase method solely as an exploratory tool)

What do we expect to obtain Both the asymptotic expressions in [Olv59] and thebounds in [Olv61] make clear that if the sign of τ = =(s) is different from that of δthere will a change in behavior when τ gets to be of size about (2πδ)2 This is unsur-prising given our discussion using stationary phase for |=(a)| smaller than a constanttimes |=(z)|2 the term proportional to eminus(π4)|τ | = eminus|=(a)|2 should be dominantwhereas for |=(a)| much larger than a constant times |=(z)|2 the term proportional to

eminus12 ( τ

2πδ )2

should be dominantThere is one important difference between the approach we will follow here and

that in [Hela] In [Hela] the integral (88) was estimated by a direct application ofthe saddle-point method Here following a suggestion of N Temme we will use theidentity

832 The direction of steepest descent

As is customary in the saddle-point method it is now time to determine the directionof steepest descent at the saddle-point u0+ Even if we decide to use a contour thatgoes through the saddle-point in a direction that is not quite optimal it will be usefulto know what the direction w of steepest descent actually is A contour that passesthrough the saddle-point making an angle between minusπ4 + ε and π4 minus ε with wmay be acceptable in that the contribution of the saddle point is then suboptimal by atmost a bounded factor depending on ε an angle approaching minusπ4 or π4 leads to acontribution suboptimal by an unbounded factor

Let w isin C be the unit vector pointing in the direction of steepest descent Thenby definition w2φprimeprime(u0+) is real and positive where φ is as in (812) Thus arg(w) =minus arg(φprimeprime(u0+))2 modπ (The direction of steepest descent is defined only moduloπ) By (817)

arg(φprimeprime(u0+)) = minusπ + arg(iù0+ + 2iτ)minus 2 arg(u0+) mod 2π

There is nothing wrong in using plots here to get an idea of the behavior of arg(w)since at any rate the direction of steepest descent will play only an advisory role inour choices See Figures 81 and 82

84 The integral over the contourWe must now choose the contour of integration The optimal contour should be one onwhich the phase of the integrand in (813) is constant ie =(φ(u)) is constant Thisis so because throughout the contour we want to keep descending from the saddleas rapidly as possible and so we want to maximize the absolute value of the deriva-tive of the real part of the exponent minusφ(u) At any point u if we are to maximize|lt(dφ(u)dt)| we want our contour to be such that =(dφ(u)dt) = 0 (We can alsosee this as follows if =(φ(u)) is constant there is no cancellation in (813) for us tomiss)

Writing u = x+ iy we obtain from (812) that

=(φ(u)) = minusxy + `x+ τ logradicx2 + y2 (828)

We would thus be considering the curve =(φ(u)) = c where c is a constant Since weneed the contour to pass through the saddle point u0+ we set c = =(φ(u0+)) Theonly problem is that the curve =(φ(u)) = 0 given by (828) is rather uncomfortable towork with

Instead we shall use several rather simple contours each appropriate for differentvalues of ` and τ

841 A simple contourAssume first that ` gt 0 We could just let our contour L be the vertical line goingthrough u0+ Since the direction of steepest descent is never far from vertical (see

84 THE INTEGRAL OVER THE CONTOUR 153

(82)) this would be a good choice However the vertical line has the defect of goingtoo close to the origin when ρrarr 0

Instead we will let L consist of three segments (a) the straight vertical ray

(x0 y) y ge y0

where x0 = ltu0+ ge 0 y0 = =u0+ gt 0 (b) the straight segment going downwardsand to the right from u0+ to the x-axis forming an angle of π2 minus β (where β gt 0will be determined later) with the x-axis at a point (x1 0) (c) the straight vertical ray(x1 y) y le 0 Let us call these three segments L1 L2 L3 Shifting the contour in(813) we obtain

Let us expand the expression on the right of (830) for x = x0 and y around y0 ==u0+ gt 0 The constant term is

ltφ(u0+) = minus `2y0 minus τ arg(u0+) = minus`

(831)

where we are using (819) (821) and (824)The linear term vanishes because u0+ is a saddle-point (and thus a local extremum

on L) It remains to estimate the quadratic term Now in (830) the term arg(x+ iy)equals arctan(yx) whose quadratic term we should now examine ndash but instead weare about to see that we can bound it trivially In general for t0 t isin R and f isin C2

f(t) = f(t0) + f prime(t0) middot (tminus t0) +

int t

f primeprime(s)dsdr (832)

Now arctanprimeprime(s) = minus2s(s2 + 1)2 and this is negative for s gt 0 and obeys

arctanprimeprime(minuss) = minus arctanprimeprime(s)


for all s Hence for t0 ge 0 and t ge minust0

arctan t le arctan t0 + (arctanprime t0) middot (tminus t0) (833)

Therefore in (830) we can consider only the quadratic term coming from (y2minusx2)2ndash namely (yminusy0)22 ndash and ignore the quadratic term coming from arg(x+ iy) Thus

ltφ(x0 + iy) ge (y minus y0)2

for y ge minusy0 and in particular for y ge y0 Henceint infiny0

Notice that once we choose to use the approximation (833) the vertical direction isactually optimal (In turn the fact that the direction of steepest descent is close tovertical shows us that we are not losing much by using the approximation (833))

As for |u0+|minusσ we will estimate it by the easy bound

where we use (822)Let us now bound I2 As we already said the linear term at u0+ vanishes Let

u be the point at which L2 meets the line normal to it through the origin We musttake care that the angle formed by the origin u0+ and u be no larger than the angleformed by the origin (x1 0) and u0 this will ensure that we are in the range in whichthe approximation (833) is valid (namely t ge minust0 where t0 = tanα0) The firstangle is π2 +βminus arg u0+ whereas the second angle is π2minusβ Hence it is enoughto set β le (arg u0+)2 Then we obtain from (812) and (833) that

ltφ(u) ge ltφ(u0+)minuslt (uminus u0+)2

We have assumed throughout that ` ge 0 and τ ge 0 We can immediately obtain abound valid for ` le 0 τ le 0 by reflection on the x-axis we simply put absolutevalues around τ and ` in (841)

We see that we have obtained a bound in a neat closed form without too mucheffort Of course this effortlessness is usually in part illusory the contour we haveused here is actually the product of some trial and error in that some other contoursgive results that are comparable in quality but harder to simplify We will have tochoose a different contour when sgn(`) 6= sgn(τ)

842 Another simple contourWe now wish to give a bound for the case of sgn(`) 6= sgn(τ) ie sgn(δ) = sgn(τ)We expect a much smaller upper bound than for sgn(`) = sgn(τ) given what wealready know from the method of stationary phase This also means that we will notneed to be as careful in order to get a bound that is good enough for all practicalpurposes

Our contour L will consist of three segments (a) the straight vertical ray (x0 y) y ge 0 (b) the quarter-circle from (x0 0) to (0minusx0) (that is an arc where the argu-ment runs from 0 to minusπ2) and (c) the straight vertical ray (0 y) y le minusx0 Wecall these segments L1 L2 L3 and define the integrals I1 I2 and I3 just as in (829)

Much as before we have

85 ConclusionsWe have obtained bounds on |Fδ(s)| for sgn(δ) 6= sgn(τ) (841) and for sgn(δ) =sgn(τ) (847) Our task is now to simplify them

E(ρ) ge

01598 if ρ ge 1501065ρ if ρ lt 15

(848)

This is so for ρ ge 15 because E(ρ) is increasing on ρ and E(15) = 015982 Thecase ρ lt 15 is a little more delicate We can easily see that arccos(1minus t22) ge t for0 le t ge 2 (since the derivative of the left side is 1

Chapter 9

Explicit formulas

An explicit formula is an expression restating a sum such as Sηχ(δx x) as a sum ofthe Mellin transformGδ(s) over the zeros of the L function L(s χ) More specificallyfor us Gδ(s) is the Mellin transform of η(t)e(δt) for some smoothing function η andsome δ isin R We want a formula whose error terms are good both for δ very close orequal to 0 and for δ farther away from 0 (Indeed our choice(s) of η will be made sothat Fδ(s) decays rapidly in both cases)

We will be able to base all of our work on a single general explicit formula namelyLemma 911 This explicit formula has simple error terms given purely in terms of afew norms of the given smoothing function η We also give a common framework forestimating the contribution of zeros on the critical strip (Lemmas 913 and 914)

The first example we work out is that of the Gaussian smoothing η(t) = eminust22

We actually do this in part for didactic purposes and in part because of its likely ap-plicability elsewhere for our applications we will always use smoothing functionsbased on teminust

22 and t2eminust22 generally in combination with something else Since

η(t) = eminust22 does not vanish at t = 0 its Mellin transform has a pole at s = 0

ndash something that requires some additional work (Lemma 912 see also the proof ofLemma 911)

Other than that for each function η(t) all that has to be done is to bound an integral(from Lemma 913) and bound a few norms Still both for ηlowast and for η+ we find afew interesting complications Since η+ is defined in terms of a truncation of a Mellintransform (or alternatively in terms of a multiplicative convolution with a Dirichletkernel as in (74) and (76)) bounding the norms of η+ and ηprime+ takes a little work Weleave this to Appendix A The effect of the convolution is then just to delay the decaya shift in that a rapidly decaying function f(τ) will get replaced by f(τ minus H) H aconstant

The smoothing function ηlowast is defined as a multiplicative convolution of t2eminust22

with something else Given that we have an explicit formula for t2eminust22 we obtain an

explicit formula for ηlowast by what amounts to just exchanging the order of a sum and anintegral (We already went over this in the introduction in (140))

163

164 CHAPTER 9 EXPLICIT FORMULAS

91 A general explicit formulaWe will prove an explicit formula valid whenever the smoothing η and its derivative ηprime

satisfy rather mild assumptions ndash they will be assumed to be L2-integrable and to havestrips of definition containing s 12 le lt(s) le 32 though any strip of the forms ε le lt(s) le 1 + ε would do just as well

(For explicit formulas with different sets of assumptions see eg [IK04 sect55] and[MV07 Ch 12])

The main idea in deriving any explicit formula is to start with an expression givinga sum as integral over a vertical line with an integrand involving a Mellin transform(here Gδ(s)) and an L-function (here L(s χ)) We then shift the line of integration tothe left If stronger assumptions were made (as in Exercise 5 in [IK04 sect55]) we couldshift the integral all the way tolt(s) = minusinfin the integral would then disappear replacedentirely by a sum over zeros (or even as in the same Exercise 5 by a particularly simpleintegral) Another possibility is to shift the line only to lt(s) = 12 + ε for some ε gt 0ndash but this gives a weaker result and at any rate the factor Lprime(s χ)L(s χ) can be largeand messy to estimate within the critical strip 0 lt lt(s) lt 1

Instead we will shift the line to lts = minus12 We can do this because the assump-tions on η and ηprime are enough to continue Gδ(s) analytically up to there (with a possiblepole at s = 0) The factor Lprime(s χ)L(s χ) is easy to estimate for lts lt 0 and s = 0(by the functional equation) and the part of the integral on lts = minus12 coming fromGδ(s) can be estimated easily using the fact that the Mellin transform is an isometry

91 A GENERAL EXPLICIT FORMULA 165

Proof Since (a) η(t)tσminus1 is in `1 for σ in an open interval containing 32 and (b)η(t)e(δt) has bounded variation (since η ηprime isin `1 implying that the derivative ofη(t)e(δt) is also in `1) the Mellin inversion formula (as in eg [IK04 4106]) holds

(This is the way the procedure always starts see for instance [HL22 Lemma 1] orto look at a recent standard reference [MV07 p 144] We are being very scrupulousabout integration because we are working with general η)

The first question we should ask ourselves is up to where can we extend Gδ(s)Since η(t)tσminus1 is in `1 for σ in an open interval I containing [12 32] the transformGδ(s) is defined for lt(s) in the same interval I However we also know that thetransformation rule M(tf prime(t))(s) = minuss middotMf(s) (see (210) by integration by parts)is valid when s is in the holomorphy strip for both M(tf prime(t)) and Mf In our case(f(t) = η(t)e(δt)) this happens when lt(s) isin (I minus 1) cap I (so that both sides of theequation in the rule are defined) Hence s middot Gδ(s) (which equals s middotMf(s)) can beanalytically continued to lt(s) in (I minus 1) cup I which is an open interval containing[minus12 32] This implies immediately that Gδ(s) can be analytically continued to thesame region with a possible pole at s = 0

When does Gδ(s) have a pole at s = 0 This happens when sGδ(s) is non-zero ats = 0 ie when M(tf prime(t))(0) 6= 0 for f(t) = η(t)e(δt) Now

M(tf prime(t))(0) =

int infin0

f prime(t)dt = limtrarrinfin

f(t)minus f(0)

We already know that f prime(t) = (ddt)(η(t)e(δt)) is in `1 Hence limtrarrinfin f(t) existsand must be 0 because f is in `1 Hence minusM(tf prime(t))(0) = f(0) = η(0)

Let us look at the next term in the Laurent expansion of Gδ(s) at s = 0 It is

limsrarr0

sGδ(s)minus η(0)

s= limsrarr0

minusM(tf prime(t))(s)minus f(0)

Here we were able to exchange the limit and the integral because f prime(t)tσ is in `1for σ in a neighborhood of 0 in turn this is true because f prime(t) = ηprime(t) + 2πiδη(t)and ηprime(t)tσ and η(t)tσ are both in `1 for σ in a neighborhood of 0 In fact we willuse the easy bounds |η(t) log t| le (23)(|η(t)tminus12|1 + |η(t)t12|1) |ηprime(t) log t| le(23)(|ηprime(t)tminus12|1 + |ηprime(t)t12|1) resulting from the inequality

Lemma 911 leaves us with three tasks bounding the sum of Gδ(ρ)xρ over allnon-trivial zeroes ρ with small imaginary part bounding the sum of Gδ(ρ)xρ over allnon-trivial zeroes ρ with large imaginary part and bounding Lprime(1 χ)L(1 χ) Letus start with the last task while in a narrow sense it is optional ndash in that in theapplications we actually need (Thm 712 Cor 713 and Thm 714) we will haveη(0) = 0 thus making the term Lprime(1 χ)L(1 χ) disappear ndash it is also very easy andcan be dealt with quickly

All that remains is to bound the contribution tosumρGδ(ρ)xρ corresponding to all

zeroes ρ with |=(ρ)| gt T0 This will do by another application of Lemma 913combined with bounds on Gδ(ρ) for =(ρ) large This is the only part that will requireus to take a look at the actual smoothing function η we are working with it is at thispoint not before that we actually have to look at each of our options for η one by one

92 SUMS AND DECAY FOR THE GAUSSIAN 175

92 Sums and decay for the GaussianIt is now time to derive our bounds for the Gaussian smoothing As we were sayingthere is really only one thing left to do namely an estimate for the sum

sumρ |Fδ(ρ)|

over all zeros ρ with |=(ρ)| gt T0

Lemma 921 Let ηhearts(t) = eminust22 Let x isin R+ δ isin R Let χ be a primitive character

mod q q ge 1 Assume that all non-trivial zeros ρ of L(s χ) with |=(ρ)| le T0 satisfylt(s) = 12 Assume that T0 ge 50

Here we have preferred to give a bound with a simple form It is probably feasibleto derive from Theorem 801 a bound essentially proportional to eminusE(ρ)T0 where ρ =T0(πδ)

2 and E(ρ) is as in (82) (As we discussed in sect85 E(ρ) behaves as eminus(π4)T0

for ρ large and as eminus0125(T0(πδ))2

for ρ small)

Proof First of allsumρ

|=(ρ)|gtT0

|Fδ(ρ)| =sumρ

=(ρ)gtT0

(|Fδ(ρ)|+ |Fδ(1minus ρ)|)

by the functional equation (which implies that non-trivial zeros come in pairs ρ 1minusρ)Hence by a somewhat brutish application of Cor 802sum

We can now state what is really our main result for the Gaussian smoothing (Theversion in sect71 will as we shall later see follow from this given numerical inputs)

Proposition 922 Let η(t) = eminust22 Let x ge 1 δ isin R Let χ be a primitive character

mod q q ge 1 Assume that all non-trivial zeros ρ of L(s χ) with |=(ρ)| le T0 lie onthe critical line Assume that T0 ge 50

Then

(945)where

Proof Let Fδ(s) be the Mellin transform of ηhearts(t)e(δt) By Lemmas 914 (withGδ =Fδ) and Lemma 921 ∣∣∣∣∣∣

sumρ non-trivial

Fδ(ρ)xρ

2337radicT0 log qT0 + 21817

radicT0 + 285 log q + 7438

Let us now apply Lemma 911 We saw that the value of R in Lemma 911 isbounded by (923) We know that ηhearts(0) = 1 Again by (943) and (944) the quantityc0 defined in (93) is at most 14056 + 133466|δ| Hence

|R| le 3 log q + 13347|δ|+ 16695

Lastly|ηprimehearts|2 + 2π|δ||ηhearts|2 le 0942 + 4183|δ| le 1 + 5|δ|

Clearly(601minus 6) middot (1 + 5|δ|) + 13347|δ|+ 16695 lt 14|δ|+ 17

and so we are done

93 The case of ηlowast(t)We will now work with a weight based on the Gaussian

η(t) =

t2eminust

22 if t ge 00 if t lt 0

(946)

The fact that this vanishes at t = 0 actually makes it easier to work with at severallevels

Its Mellin transform is just a shift of that of the Gaussian Write

Fδ(s) = (M(eminust2

2 e(δt)))(s)

Gδ(s) = (M(η(t)e(δt)))(s)(947)

Then by the definition of the Mellin transform

Gδ(s) = Fδ(s+ 2)

We start by bounding the contribution of zeros with large imaginary part just asbefore

93 THE CASE OF ηlowast(T ) 179

Lemma 931 Let η(t) = t2eminust22 Let x isin R+ δ isin R Let χ be a primitive character

mod q q ge 1 Assume that all non-trivial zeros ρ of L(s χ) with |=(ρ)| le T0 satisfylt(s) = 12 Assume that T0 ge max(10π|δ| 50)

Write Gδ(s) for the Mellin transform of η(t)e(δt) Then

(948)

where κ20 = 796 and κ21 = 513 We are including the term |τ |eminus01598|τ | in bothcases in part because we cannot be bothered to take it out (just as we could not bebothered in the proof of Lem 921) and in part to ensure that f(τ) is a decreasingfunction of τ for τ ge T0

Now that we have Prop 932 we can derive from it similar bounds for a smoothingdefined as the multiplicative convolution of η with something else In general forϕ1 ϕ2 [0infin)rarr C if we know how to bound sums of the form

Sfϕ1(x) =sumn

This is particularly nice if ϕ2(t) vanishes in a neighbourhood of the origin since thenthe argument wx of Sfϕ1(wx) is always large

We will use ϕ1(t) = t2eminust22 ϕ2(t) = η1 lowastM η1 where η1 is 2 times the char-

acteristic function of the interval [12 1] The motivation for the choice of ϕ1 and ϕ2

We then see that (957) and (962) imply (961)

94 The case of η+(t)

We will work with

η(t) = η+(t) = hH(t) middot tηhearts(t) = hH(t) middot teminust22 (963)

where hH is as in (76) We recall that hH is a band-limited approximation to thefunction h defined in (75) ndash to be more precise MhH(it) is the truncation of Mh(it)to the interval [minusHH]

We are actually defining h hH and η in a slightly different way from what was donein the first version of [Hela] The difference is instructive There η(t) was defined ashH(t)eminust

22 and hH was a band-limited approximation to a function h defined as in(75) but with t3(2 minus t)3 instead of t2(2 minus t)3 The reason for our new definitions isthat now the truncation of Mh(it) will not break the holomorphy of Mη and so wewill be able to use the general results we proved in sect91

In essence Mh will still be holomorphic because the Mellin transform of tηhearts(t) isholomorphic in the domain we care about unlike the Mellin transform of ηhearts(t) whichdoes have a pole at s = 0

As usual we start by bounding the contribution of zeros with large imaginary partThe procedure is much as before since η+(t) = ηH(t)ηhearts(t) the Mellin transformMη+ is a convolution of M(teminust

22) and something of support in [minusHH]i namelyMηH restricted to the imaginary axis This means that the decay of Mη+ is (at worst)like the decay of M(teminust

22) delayed by H

Let Fδ be as in (947) Then since η+(t)e(δt) = hH(t)teminust22e(δt) where hH is as

From (964) we conclude that

|Gδ(ρ)|+ |Gδ(1minus ρ)| le f(τ)

for ρ = σ + iτ τ gt 0 where

f(τ) =|Mh(ir)|1

Proof We can apply Lemmas 911 and Lemma 914 because η+(t) (log t)η+(t) andηprime+(t) are in `2 (by (A25) (A28) and (A32)) and η+(t)tσminus1 and ηprime+(t)tσminus1 are in`1 for σ in an open interval containing [12 32] (by (A30) and (A33)) (Because of(95) the fact that η+(t)tminus12 and η+(t)t12 are in `1 implies that η+(t) log t is also in`1 as is required by Lemma 914)

We apply Lemmas 911 914 and 941 We bound the norms involving η+ usingthe estimates in sectA3 and sectA4 Since η+(0) = 0 (by the definition (A3) of η+) theterm R in (92) is at most c0 where c0 is as in (93) We bound

95 A sum for η+(t)2

Using a smoothing function sometimes leads to considering sums involving the squareof the smoothing function In particular in Part III we will need a result involving η2

+

ndash something that could be slightly challenging to prove given the way in which η+ isdefined Fortunately we have bounds on |η+|infin and other ìnfin-norms (see AppendixA5) Our task will also be made easier by the fact that we do not have a phase e(δnx)this time All in all this will be yet another demonstration of the generality of theframework developed in sect91

Proposition 951 Let η = η+ be as in (963) H ge 25 Let x ge 108 Assume thatall non-trivial zeros ρ of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) with |=(ρ)| le T0 lie on thecritical line where T0 ge max(2H + 25 200)

(973)and T1 = T0 minus 2H

The assumption T0 ge 200 is stronger than what we strictly need but as it happenswe could make much stronger assumptions still Proposition 951 relies on a verifica-tion of zeros of the Riemann zeta function such verifications have gone up to valuesof T0 much higher than 200

95 A SUM FOR η+(T )2 189

Proof We will need to consider two smoothing functions namely η+0(t) = η+(t)2

and η+1 = η+(t)2 log t Clearly

infinsumn=1

Λ(n)(log n)η2+(nx) = (log x)

infinsumn=1

Λ(n)η+0(nx) +

infinsumn=1

Since η+(t) = hH(t)teminust22

η+0(r) = h2H(t)t2eminust

2

η+1(r) = h2H(t)(log t)t2eminust

2

Let η+2 = (log x)η+0 + η+1 = η2+(t) log xt

We wish to apply Lemma 911 For this we must first check that some norms arefinite Clearly

η+2(t) = η2+(t) log x+ η2

+(t) log t

ηprime+2(t) = 2η+(t)ηprime+(t) log x+ 2η+(t)ηprime+(t) log t+ η2+(t)t

(974)

Thus we see that η+2(t) is in `2 because η+(t) is in `2 and η+(t) η+(t) log t are bothin ìnfin (see (A25) (A38) (A40))

Similarly ηprime+2(t) is in `2 because η+(t) is in `2 ηprime+(t) is in `2 (A32) and η+(t)η+(t) log t and η+(t)t (see (A41)) are all in ìnfin∣∣ηprime+2(t)

In the same way we see that η+2(t)tσminus1 is in `1 for all σ in (minus1infin) (because the sameis true of η+(t)tσminus1 (A30) and η+(t) η+(t) log t are both in ìnfin) and ηprime+2(t)tσminus1 isin `1 for all σ in (0infin) (because the same is true of η+(t)tσminus1 and ηprime+(t)tσminus1 (A33)and η+(t) η+(t) log t η+(t)t are all in ìnfin)

We now apply Lemma 911 with q = 1 δ = 0 Since η+2(0) = 0 the residueterm R equals c0 which by (974) is at most 23 times

Using the bounds (A38) (A40) (A41) (with the assumption H ge 25) (A30) and(A33) we get that this means that

c0 le 1857606 log x+ 863264


Since q = 1 and δ = 0 we get from (976) (and (A38) (A40) (A41) with theassumption H ge 25 and also (A25) and (A32)) that

(log q + 601)middot(∣∣ηprime+2∣∣2 + 2π|δ| |η+2|2

In comparison 19064xminus12 log x le 0002 log x since x ge 108It remains to bound the sum of Mη+2(ρ) over zeros with |=(ρ)| gt T0 This we

will do as usual by Lemma 913 For that we will need to bound Mη+2(ρ) for ρ inthe critical strip

96 A verification of zeros and its consequencesDavid Platt verified in his doctoral thesis [Pla11] that for every primitive character χof conductor q le 105 all the non-trivial zeroes of L(s χ) with imaginary partle 108qlie on the critical line ie have real part exactly 12 (We call this a GRH verificationup to 108q)

In work undertaken in coordination with the present work [Plab] Platt has extendedthese computations to



The method used was rigorous its implementation uses interval arithmeticLet us see what this verification gives us when used as an input to Prop 922 We

are interested in bounds on | errηχlowast(δ x)| for q le r and |δ| le 4rq We set r = 3middot105(We will not be using the verification for q even with 3 middot 105 lt q le 4 middot 105 though wecertainly could)

q le r |δ| le 4rq

We can see that Plattrsquos verification [Plab] mentioned before allows us to take

T0 = H +250r

q H = 200

since Tq is always at least this (Tq = 108q ge 200 + 7 middot 107q gt 200 + 375 middot 107qfor q le 150000 odd Tq ge 200 + 75 middot 107q for q le 300000 even)

and so Prop 951 gives us Proposition 715As we can see the relatively large error term 2 middot 10minus6 comes from the fact that we

202 CHAPTER 10 THE INTEGRAL OVER THE MAJOR ARCS

and δ0 gt 0 r ge 1 are givenIn other words our major arcs will be few (that is a constant number) and narrow

While [LW02] used relatively narrow major arcs as well their number as in all pre-vious proofs of Vinogradovrsquos result was not bounded by a constant (In his proof ofthe five-primes theorem [Tao14] is able to take a single major arc around 0 this is notpossible here)

What we are about to see is the general major-arc setup This is naturally the placewhere the overlap with the existing literature is largest Two important differences cannevertheless be singled out

bull The most obvious one is the presence of smoothing At this point it improvesand simplifies error terms but it also means that we will later need estimates forexponential sums on major arcs and not just at the middle of each major arc (Ifthere is smoothing we cannot use summation by parts to reduce the problem ofestimating sums to a problem of counting primes in arithmetic progressions orweighted by characters)

bull Since our L-function estimates for exponential sums will give bounds that arebetter than the trivial one by only a constant ndash even if it is a rather large con-stant ndash we need to be especially careful when estimating error terms findingcancellation when possible

101 Decomposition of Sη by charactersWhat follows is largely classical cf [HL22] or say [Dav67 sect26] The only differencefrom the literature lies in the treatment of n non-coprime to q and the way in whichwe show that our exponential sum (108) is equal to a linear combination of twistedsums Sηχlowast over primitive characters χlowast (Non-primitive characters would give us L-functions with some zeroes inconveniently placed on the line lt(s) = 0)

Write τ(χ b) for the Gauss sum

τ(χ b) =sum

a mod q

χ(a)e(abq) (106)

associated to a b isin ZqZ and a Dirichlet character χ with modulus q We let τ(χ) =τ(χ 1) If (b q) = 1 then τ(χ b) = χ(bminus1)τ(χ)

Recall that χlowast denotes the primitive character inducing a given Dirichlet characterχ Writing

sumχ mod q for a sum over all characters χ of (ZqZ)lowast) we see that for any

We will later see that the integral of (1011) over S1 is negligible ndash for our choices ofηj it will in fact be of size O(x(log x)A) A a constant The error term O(x(log x)A)should be compared to the main term which will be of size about a constant times x2

In (1010) we have reduced our problems to estimating Sηχ(δx x) for χ prim-itive a more obvious way of reaching the same goal would have made (1011) worseby a factor of about

102 The integral over the major arcs the main term

We are to estimate the integral (104) where the major arcs Mδ0r are defined as in(105) We will use η1 = η2 = η+ η3(t) = ηlowast(κt) where η+ and ηlowast will be set later

We can write

Sηχ(δx x) = Sη(δx x) =

int infin0

η(tx)e(δtx)dt+Olowast(errηχ(δ x)) middot x

= η(minusδ) middot x+Olowast(errηχT (δ x)) middot x(1012)

for χ = χT the trivial character and

Sηχ(δx) = Olowast(errηχ(δ x)) middot x (1013)

for χ primitive and non-trivial The estimation of the error terms err will come laterlet us focus on (a) obtaining the contribution of the main term (b) using estimates onthe error terms efficiently

The main term three principal characters The main contribution will be given bythe term in (1010) with χ1 = χ2 = χ3 = χ0 where χ0 is the principal character modq

The sum τ(χ0 n) is a Ramanujan sum as is well-known (see eg [IK04 (32)])

τ(χ0 n) =sumd|(qn)

micro(qd)d (1014)

This simplifies to micro(q(q n))φ((q n)) for q square-free The special case n = 1 givesus that τ(χ0) = micro(q)

Thus the term in (1010) with χ1 = χ2 = χ3 = χ0 equals

e(minusNaq)φ(q)3

micro(q)3Sη+χlowast0 (δx x)2Sηlowastχlowast0 (δx x)e(minusδNx) (1015)

where of course Sηχlowast0 (α x) = Sη(α x) (since χlowast0 is the trivial character) Summing(1015) for α = aq+δx and a going over all residues mod q coprime to q we obtain

that we will want to be able to use smoothing functions η+ whose Fourier transformsare not easy to deal with directly All we want to require is that there be a smoothingfunction η easier to deal with such that η be close to η+ in `2 norm

Here (1023) is just as in the classical case [IK04 (1910)] except for the fact thata factor of 12 has been replaced by a double integral Later in chapter 11 we will seehow to choose our smoothing functions (and x in terms ofN ) so as to make the doubleintegral as large as possible in comparison with the error terms This is an importantoptimization (We already had a first discussion of this in the introduction see (139)and what follows)

What remains to estimate is the contribution of all the terms of the form errηχ(δ x)in (1012) and (1013) Let us first deal with another matter ndash bounding the `2 norm of|Sη(α x)|2 over the major arcs

103 The `2 norm over the major arcs

We can always bound the integral of |Sη(α x)|2 on the whole circle by Plancherel Ifwe only want the integral on certain arcs we use the bound in Prop 1212 (based onwork by Ramare) If these arcs are really the major arcs ndash that is the arcs on whichwe have useful analytic estimates ndash then we can hope to get better bounds using L-functions This will be useful both to estimate the error terms in this section and tomake the use of Ramarersquos bounds more efficient later

The error term xrETηδ0r will be very small since it will be estimated using theRiemann zeta function the error term involving Kr2 will be completely negligibleThe term involving xr(r+1)E2

ηrδ0 we see that it constrains us to have | errηχ(xN)|

less than a constant times 1r if we do not want the main term in the bound (1026) tobe overwhelmed


104 The integral over the major arcs conclusion

There are at least two ways we can evaluate (104) One is to substitute (1010) into(104) The disadvantages here are that (a) this can give rise to pages-long formulae (b)this gives error terms proportional to xr| errηχ(xN)| meaning that to win we wouldhave to show that | errηχ(xN)| is much smaller than 1r What we will do instead isto use our `2 estimate (1026) in order to bound the contribution of non-principal termsThis will give us a gain of almost

radicr on the error terms in other words to win it will

be enough to show later that | errηχ(xN)| is much smaller than 1radicr

The contribution of the error terms in Sη3(α x) (that is all terms involving thequantities errηχ in expressions (1012) and (1013)) to (104) is

(1031)We can bound the integral of |Sη+(α)|2 by (1026)

What about the contribution of the error part of Sη2(α x) We can obviouslyproceed in the same way except that to avoid double-counting Sη3(α x) needs tobe replaced by

φ(q)τ(χ0)η3(minusδ) middot x =

micro(q)

φ(q)η3(minusδ) middot x (1032)

which is its main term (coming from (1012)) Instead of having an `2 norm as in(1031) we have the square-root of a product of two squares of `2 norms (by Cauchy-Schwarz) namely

By (C9) the sum over q is at most 282643As for the contribution of the error part of Sη1(α x) we bound it in the same way

using solely the `2 norm in (1033) (and replacing both Sη2(α x) and Sη3(α x) byexpressions as in (1032))

(1038)and errηχ is as in (1012) and (1013)

Here is how to read these expressions The error term in the first line of (1036)will be small provided that ε0 is small and r is large The third line of (1036) willbe negligible as will be the term 2δ0r(log er)Kr2 in the definition of Aη (ClearlyZηk(x)η (log x)kminus1 and LSη(x q)η τ(q) log x for any η of rapid decay)


It remains to estimate the second line of (1036) This includes estimating Aη ndasha task that was already accomplished in Lemma 1031 We see that we will have togive very good bounds for Eηrδ0 when η = η+ or η = ηlowast We also see that we wantto make C0Cη+ηlowastx

2 as large as possible it will be competing not just with the errorterms here but more importantly with the bounds from the minor arcs which will beproportional to |η+|22|ηlowast|1


Chapter 11

Optimizing and adaptingsmoothing functions

One of our goals is to maximize the quantity Cηηlowast in (1037) relative to |η|22|ηlowast|1One way to do this is to ensure that (a) ηlowast is concentrated on a very short1 interval [0 ε)(b) η is supported on the interval [0 2] and is symmetric around t = 1 meaning thatη(t) sim η(2minus t) Then for x sim N2 the integralint infin

in (1037) should be approximately equal to


0

η(t)η

(N

xminus t)dt = |ηlowast|1 middot

int infin0

η(t)2dt = |ηlowast|1 middot |η|22 (111)

provided that η0(t) ge 0 for all t It is easy to check (using Cauchy-Schwarz in thesecond step) that this is essentially optimal (We will redo this rigorously in a littlewhile)

At the same time the fact is that major-arc estimates are best for smoothing func-tions η of a particular form and we have minor-arc estimates from Part I for a differentspecific smoothing η2 The issue then is how do we choose η and ηlowast as above so that

bull ηlowast is concentrated on [0 ε)

bull η is supported on [0 2] and symmetric around t = 1

bull we can give minor-arc and major-arc estimates for ηlowast

bull we can give major-arc estimates for a function η+ close to η in `2 norm

1This is an idea appearing in work by Bourgain in a related context [Bou99]

217

218 CHAPTER 11 OPTIMIZING AND ADAPTING SMOOTHING FUNCTIONS

111 The symmetric smoothing function ηWe will later work with a smoothing function ηhearts whose Mellin transform decreasesvery rapidly Because of this rapid decay we will be able to give strong results basedon an explicit formula for ηhearts The issue is how to define η given ηhearts so that η issymmetric around t = 1 (ie η(2minus x) sim η(x)) and is very small for x gt 2

We will later set ηhearts(t) = eminust22 Let

h t 7rarr


(112)

We define η Rrarr R by

η(t) = h(t)ηhearts(t) =

t3(2minus t)3eminus(tminus1)22 if t isin [0 2]0 otherwise

(113)

It is clear that η is symmetric around t = 1 for t isin [0 2]

1111 The product η(t)η(ρminus t)We now should go back and redo rigorously what we discussed informally around(111) More precisely we wish to estimate

η(ρ) =

int infinminusinfin

η(t)η(ρminus t)dt =

int infinminusinfin

η(t)η(2minus ρ+ t)dt (114)

for ρ le 2 close to 2 In this it will be useful that the Cauchy-Schwarz inequalitydegrades slowly in the following sense

Lemma 1111 Let V be a real vector space with an inner product 〈middot middot〉 Then forany v w isin V with |w minus v|2 le |v|22

〈v w〉 = |v|2|w|2 +Olowast(271|v minus w|22)

112 THE SMOOTHING FUNCTION ηlowast ADAPTING MINOR-ARC BOUNDS219

Multiplying by |v|22 we obtain that

|v|2|w|2 = |v|22 + 〈w minus v v〉+Olowast(271|w minus v|22

(271|w minus v|22

112 The smoothing function ηlowast adapting minor-arcbounds

Here the challenge is to define a smoothing function ηlowast that is good both for minor-arcestimates and for major-arc estimates The two regimes tend to favor different kinds of


smoothing function For minor-arc estimates we use as [Tao14] did

η2(t) = 4 max(log 2minus | log 2t| 0) = ((2I[121]) lowastM (2I[121]))(t) (117)

where I[121](t) is 1 if t isin [12 1] and 0 otherwise For major-arc estimates we willuse a function based on

ηhearts = eminust22

We will actually use here the function t2eminust22 whose Mellin transform isMηhearts(s+2)

(by eg [BBO10 Table 111]))We will follow the simple expedient of convolving the two smoothing functions

one good for minor arcs the other one for major arcs In general let ϕ1 ϕ2 [0infin)rarrC It is easy to use bounds on sums of the form

Sfϕ1(x) =

sumn

f(n)ϕ1(nx) (118)

to bound sums of the form Sfϕ1lowastMϕ2

Sfϕ1lowastMϕ2=sumn

)=

Sfϕ1(wx)ϕ2(w)dw

(119)The same holds of course if ϕ1 and ϕ2 are switched since ϕ1 lowastM ϕ2 = ϕ2 lowastM ϕ1The only objection is that the bounds on (118) that we input might not be valid ornon-trivial when the argument wx of Sfϕ1

(wx) is very small Because of this it isimportant that the functions ϕ1 ϕ2 vanish at 0 and desirable that their first derivativesdo so as well

Let us see how this works out in practice for ϕ1 = η2 Here η2 [0infin) rarr R isgiven by

η2 = η1 lowastM η1 = 4 max(log 2minus | log 2t| 0) (1110)

where η1 = 2 middot I[121]Let us restate the bounds from Theorem 311 ndash the main result of Part I We will

use Lemma C22 to bound terms of the form qφ(q)Let x ge x0 x0 = 216 middot 1020 Let 2α = aq + δx q le Q gcd(a q) = 1

|δx| le 1qQ where Q = (34)x23 Then if 3 le q le x136 Theorem 311 givesus that

|Sη2(α x)| le gx(

(1113)

If q gt x136 then again by Theorem 311

|Sη2(α x)| le h(x)x (1114)

whereh(x) = 0276xminus16(log x)32 + 1234xminus13 log x (1115)

We will work with x varying within a range and so we must pay some attentionto the dependence of (1111) and (1114) on x Let us prove two auxiliary lemmas onthis

Lemma 1121 Let gx(r) be as in (1112) and h(x) as in (1115) Then

x 7rarr

h(x) if x lt (6r)3

gx(r) if x ge (6r)3

is a decreasing function of x for r ge 11 fixed and x ge 21

Proof It is clear from the definitions that x 7rarr h(x) (for x ge 21) and x 7rarr gx(r) areboth decreasing Thus we simply have to show that h(xr) ge gxr (r) for xr = (6r)3Since xr ge (6 middot 11)3 gt e125

Rxr2r le 027125 log(0065 log xr + 1056) + 041415

le 027125 log((0065 + 00845) log xr) + 041415 le 027215 log log xr

Hence

Rxr2r log 2r + 05 le 027215 log log xr log x13r minus 027215 log 125 log 3 + 05

le 009072 log log xr log xr minus 0255

At the same time

z(r) = eγ log logx

13r

6+

log log rle eγ log log xr minus eγ log 3 + 19521

le eγ log log xr

(1116)

for r ge 37 and we also get z(r) le eγ log log xr for r isin [11 37] by the bisectionmethod with 10 iterations Hence

(Rxr2r log 2r + 05)radicz(r) + 25

le (009072 log log xr log xr minus 0255)radiceγ log log xr + 25

le 01211 log xr(log log xr)32 + 2


and so

(Rxr2r log 2r + 05)radic

z(r) + 25radic2r

le (021 log xr(log log xr)32 + 347)xminus16

Now by (1116)

L2r le eγ log log xr middot(

r 3) + 3755

le eγ log log xr middot(

It is clear that

425eγ log log xr + 456 log xr + 2255

x13r 6

lt 1234xminus13r log xr

for xr ge e we make the comparison for xr = e and take the derivative of the ratio ofthe left side by the right side

It remains to show that

021 log xr(log log xr)32 + 347 + 336 +

13

2eγxminus13

r log xr log log xr (1117)

is less than 0276(log xr)32 for xr large enough Since t 7rarr (log t)32t12 is de-

creasing for t gt e3 we see that

021 log xr(log log xr)32 + 683 + 13

2 eγxminus13r log xr log log xr

0276(log xr)32lt 1

for all xr ge e33 simply because it is true for x = e33 which is greater than ee3

We conclude that h(xr) ge gxr (r) = gxr (x

13r 6) for xr ge e33 We check that

h(xr) ge gxr (x13r 6) for log xr isin [log 663 33] as well by the bisection method

(applied with 30 iterations with log xr as the variable on the intervals [log 663 20][20 25] [25 30] and [30 33]) Since r ge 11 implies xr ge 663 we are done

Lemma 1122 Let Rxr be as in (1112) Then t rarr Retr(r) is convex-up for t ge3 log 6r

Proof Since trarr eminust6 and trarr t are clearly convex-up all we have to do is to showthat trarr Retr is convex-up In general since

(log f)primeprime =

(f prime

f

)prime=f primeprimef minus (f prime)2

f2

a function of the form (log f) is convex-up exactly when f primeprimef minus (f prime)2 ge 0 If f(t) =1 + a(tminus b) we have f primeprimef minus (f prime)2 ge 0 whenever

(t+ aminus b) middot (2a) ge a2

ie a2 + 2at ge 2ab and that certainly happens when t ge b In our case b =3 log(2004r9) and so t ge 3 log 6r implies t ge b


Now we come to the point where we prove bounds on exponential sums of the formSηlowast(α x) (that is sums based on the smoothing ηlowast) based on our bounds (1111) and(1114) on the exponential sums Sη2(α x) This is straightforward as promised

Proposition 1123 Let x ge Kx0 x0 = 216 middot 1020 K ge 1 Let Sη(α x) be asin (101) Let ηlowast = η2 lowastM ϕ where η2 is as in (1110) and ϕ [0infin) rarr [0infin) iscontinuous and in L1

Let 2α = aq+δx q le Q gcd(a q) = 1 |δx| le 1qQ whereQ = (34)x23If q le (xK)136 then

Cϕ0K = 104488

int 1K

We finish by proving a couple more lemmas

Lemma 1124 Let x gt K gt 1 Let ηlowast = η2 lowastM ϕ where η2 is as in (1110) andϕ [0infin)rarr [0infin) is continuous and in L1 Let gxϕ be as in (1119)

Then gxϕ(r) is a decreasing function of r for 670 le r le (xK)136


Proof Taking derivatives we can easily see that

r 7rarr log log r

r r 7rarr log r

r r 7rarr log r log log r

r r 7rarr (log r)2 log log r

r(1122)

are decreasing for r ge 20 The same is true if log log r is replaced by z(r) sincez(r) log log r is a decreasing function for r ge e Since (Cϕ2K|ϕ|1) logK le 1(by (1120)) we see that it is enough to prove that r 7rarr Ry2r log 2r

radiclog log r

radic2r is

decreasing on r for y = x and y = xK (under the assumption that r ge 670)Looking at (1113) and at (1122) we see that it remains only to check that

A derivative test is enough to show that s log(1 + s) is an increasing function of s fors gt 0 hence so is s middot (2minus 1(1 + s)) log(1 + s) Setting s = (log 8r)` we obtainthat the left side of (1124) is a decreasing function of ` for r ge 1 fixed

Since r le y136 ` ge log 544008 gt 26 Thus for (1124) to hold it is enoughto ensure that

A derivative test shows that (2 minus 1s) log(1 + s) is a decreasing function of s fors ge 123 since log(8 middot 75)52 gt 123 this implies that the left side of (1125) is adecreasing function of r for r ge 75

We check that the left side of (1125) is indeed less than 1 for r = 670 we concludethat it is less than 1 for all r ge 670

Lemma 1125 Let x ge 1025 Let φ [0infin) rarr [0infin) be continuous and in L1 Letgxφ(r) and h(x) be as in (1119) and (1115) respectively Then

gxφ

)ge h(2x log x)


Proof We can bound gxφ(r) from below by

gmx(r) =(Rxr log 2r + 05)

radicz(r) + 25radic

2r

Let r = (38)x415 Using the assumption that x ge 1025 we see that

Rxr = 027125 log

(1126)(It is easy to see that the left side of (1126) is increasing on x) Using x ge 1025 againwe get that

z(r) = eγ log log r +250637

log log rge 568721

Since log 2r = (415) log x+ log(34) we conclude that

gmx(r) ge 040298 log x+ 325765radic34 middot x215

Recall that

h(x) =0276(log x)32

x16+

1234 log x

We can see that

x 7rarr (log x+ 33)x215

(log(2x log x))32(2x log x)16(1127)

is increasing for x ge 1025 (and indeed for x ge e27) by taking the logarithm of theright side of (1127) and then taking its derivative with respect to t = log x We cansee in the same way that (1x215)(log(2x log x)(2x log x)13) is increasing forx ge e22 Since

040298(log x+ 33)radic34 middot x215

for x = 1025 we are done

Chapter 12

The `2 norm and the large sieve

Our aim here is to give a bound on the `2 norm of an exponential sum over the minorarcs While we care about an exponential sum in particular we will prove a result validfor all exponential sums S(α x) =

sumn ane(αn) with an of prime support

We start by adapting ideas from Ramarersquos version of the large sieve for primes toestimate `2 norms over parts of the circle (sect121) We are left with the task of givingan explicit bound on the factor in Ramarersquos work this we do in sect122 As a side effectthis finally gives a fully explicit large sieve for primes that is asymptotically optimalmeaning a sieve that does not have a spurious factor of eγ in front this was an arguablyimportant gap in the literature

121 Variations on the large sieve for primes

We are trying to estimate an integralintRZ |S(α)|3dα Instead of bounding it trivially by

|S|infin|S|22 we can use the fact that large (ldquomajorrdquo) values of S(α) have to be multipliedonly by

intM|S(α)|2dα where M is a union (small in measure) of major arcs Now

can we give an upper bound forintM|S(α)|2dα better than |S|22 =

intRZ |S(α)|2dα

The first version of [Helb] gave an estimate on that integral using a technique due toHeath-Brown which in turn rests on an inequality of Montgomeryrsquos ([Mon71 (39)]see also eg [IK04 Lem 715]) The technique was communicated by Heath-Brownto the present author who communicated it to Tao who used it in his own notable workon sums of five primes (see [Tao14 Lem 46] and adjoining comments) We will beable to do better than that estimate here

The role played by Montgomeryrsquos inequality in Heath-Brownrsquos method is playedhere by a result of Ramarersquos ([Ram09 Thm 21] see also [Ram09 Thm 52]) Thefollowing proposition is based on Ramarersquos result or rather on one possible proof ofit Instead of using the result as stated in [Ram09] we will actually be using elementsof the proof of [Bom74 Thm 7A] credited to Selberg Simply integrating Ramarersquosinequality would give a non-trivial if slightly worse bound

122 Bounding the quotient in the large sieve for primesThe estimate given by Proposition 1211 involves the quotient

maxqleQ0

maxsleQ0q

Gq(Q0sq)

Gq(Qsq) (127)

where Gq is as in (122) The appearance of such a quotient (at least for s = 1)is typical of Ramarersquos version of the large sieve for primes see eg [Ram09] Wewill see how to bound such a quotient in a way that is essentially optimal not justasymptotically but also in the ranges that are most relevant to us (This includes forexample Q0 sim 106 Q sim 1015)

As the present work shows an approach based on Ramarersquos work gives bounds thatare in some contexts better than those of other large sieves for primes by a constantfactor (approaching eγ = 178107 ) Thus giving a fully explicit and nearly optimalbound for (127) is a task of clear general relevance besides being needed for our maingoal

We will obtain bounds for Gq(Q0sq)Gq(Qsq) when Q0 le 2 middot 1010 Q ge Q20

As we shall see our bounds will be best when s = q = 1 ndash or sometimes when s = 1and q = 2 instead

Write G(R) for G1(R) =sumrleR micro

2(r)φ(r) We will need several estimates forGq(R) and G(R) As stated in [Ram95 Lemma 34]

G(R) le logR+ 14709 (128)

G(R) ge logR+ 107 (129)

smallLet us start by giving an easy bound off from the truth by a factor of about eγ

(Specialists will recognize this as a factor that appears often in first attempts at esti-mates based on either large or small sieves) First we need a simple explicit lemma

for all x ge n ge 27 (since given a b gt 0 the function t 7rarr a + bt is increasing on tfor t ge

)

Thus (1218) holds when m + log q ge 853 since then ε0 + (250637eγ) log(m +log q) le 065771 We verify all choices of m q ge 1 with m + log q le 853 compu-tationally the worst case is that of m = 1 q = 6 which give the value 065771 in(1218)

Here is the promised easy bound

By Lem 1221

the rightmost expression of (1220) is maximal for q = 1


Lemma 1222 will play a crucial role in reducing to a finite computation the prob-lem of bounding Gq(Q0sq)Gq(Qsq) As we will now see we can use Lemma1222 to obtain a bound that is useful when sq is large compared to Q0 ndash precisely thecase in which asymptotic estimates such as (1212) are relatively weak

Lemma 1223 Let Q0 ge 1 Q ge 200Q0 Let q le Q0 s le Q0q Let ρ =(logQ0) logQ le 23 Then for any σ ge 1312ρ

Gq(Q0sq)

sqle c(σ) middotQ(1minusρ)eminusγ

0 minus log q

where c(σ) = exp(exp(minusγ) middot (σ minus σ25248minus 1172))

Proof By Lemma 1222 we see that (1221) will hold provided that

eγ log

log QQ0

logQ+ 1312middot (logQ0 + σ) (1222)

The expression on the right of (1222) equals

logQ0 + σ minus (logQ0 + σ) logQ0

logQ+ 1312

= (1minus ρ)(logQ0 + σ) +1312ρ(logQ0 + σ)

logQ+ 1312

ge (1minus ρ)(logQ0 + σ) + 1312ρ2

and so (1222) will hold provided that

eγ log

(Q0

sq+ log q

)+ 1172 le (1minus ρ)(logQ0) + (1minus ρ)σ + 1312ρ2

Taking derivatives we see that

We now pass to the main result of the section


Proposition 1224 Let Q ge 20000Q0 Q0 ge Q0min where Q0min = 105 Letρ = (logQ0) logQ Assume ρ le 06 Then for every 1 le q le Q0 and everys isin [1 Q0q]

Gq(Q0sq)

Gq(Qsq)le logQ0 + c+

logQ+ cE (1223)

where cE is as in (1214) and c+ = 136

An ideal result would have c+ instead of cE but this is not actually possible errorterms do exist even if they are in reality smaller than the bound given in (1212) thismeans that a bound such as (1223) with c+ instead of cE would be false for q = 1s = 1

There is nothing special about the assumptions

Q ge 20000Q0 Q0 ge 105 (logQ0)(logQ) le 06

They can all be relaxed at the cost of an increase in c+

Proof Define errqR so that

Gq(R) =φ(q)

Defineω(ρ) =

1ρ logQ0min + cE

Then ρ le (logQ0 + c+)(logQ+ cE) le ω(ρ) (because c+ ge ρcE) We conclude that(1225) (and hence (1223)) holds provided that

where c∆ = c+ minus cE Note that 1minus ω(ρ) gt 0First let us give some easy bounds on the error terms these bounds will yield upper

bounds for s By (128) and (1211)

errqR leφ(q)

log q minus (1minus ω(ρ))sump|q

log p

p+ ((14709minus cE) + ω(ρ)(cE minus 1312))

and so (1226) holds provided that

(1minus ω(ρ)) log sq ge log q + (14709minus cE) + ω(ρ)(cE minus 1312)minus c∆ (1227)

We will thus be able to assume from now on that (1227) does not hold or what is thesame that

sq lt (cρ2q)1

1minusω(ρ) (1228)

holds where cρ2 = exp((14709minus cE) + ω(ρ)(cE minus 1312)minus c∆)What values of R = Q0sq must we consider for q given First by (1228) we

can assume R gt Q0min(cρ2q)1(1minusω(ρ)) We can also assume

R gt c(c+) middotmax(RqQ0min)(1minusρ)eminusγ minus log q (1229)

for c(c+) is as in Lemma 1223 since all smaller R are covered by that LemmaClearly (1229) implies that

R1minusτ gt c(c+) middot qτ minus log q

Rτgt c(c+)qτ minus log q

where τ = (1minusρ)eminusγ and also thatR gt c(c+)Q(1minusρ)eminusγ0min minus log q Iterating we obtain

that we can assume that R gt $(q) where

$(q) = max

(c(c+)qτminuslog q)τ

) 11minusτ

if c(c+)qτ gt log q + 1

0 otherwise


Looking at (1226) we see that it will be enough to show that for all R satisfyingR gt $(q) we have

errqR +ω(ρ) max (0minus errqtR) le φ(q)

qκ(q) (1231)

for all t ge 20000 where

κ(q) = (1minus ω(ρ))

log q minussump|q

log p

+ c∆

Ramarersquos bound (1212) implies that

| errqR | le 7284Rminus13f1(q) (1232)

with f1(q) as in (1213) and so

errqR +ω(ρ) max (0minus errqtR) le (1 + βρ) middot 7284Rminus13f1(q)

where βρ = ω(ρ)2000013 This is enough when

R ge λ(q) =

(q

φ(q)

7284(1 + βρ)f1(q)

κ(q)

(1233)

It remains to do two things First we have to compute how large q has to be for$(q) to be guaranteed to be greater than λ(q) (For such q there is no checking to bedone) Then we check the inequality (1231) for all smaller q letting R range throughthe integers in [$(q) λ(q)] We bound errqtR using (1232) but we compute errqRdirectly

How large must q be for $(q) gt λ(q) to hold We claim that $(q) gt λ(q)whenever q ge 22 middot 1010 Let us show this

It is easy to see that (p(pminus1)) middotf1(p) and prarr (log p)p are decreasing functionsof p for p ge 3 moreover for both functions the value at p ge 7 is smaller than forp = 2 Hence we have that for q lt

We know how to give upper bounds for the expression on the right of (1235)The task is in essence simple we can base our bounds on the classic explicit work in[RS62] except that we also have to optimize matters so that they are close to tight forp1 = 29 p1 = 31 and other low p1

(1238)

It is clear from (1230) that $(q) is increasing as soon as

q ge max(Q0min Q1minusω(ρ)0min cρ2)

and c(c+)qτ gt log q+ 1 since then $0(q) is increasing and $(q) = $0(q) Here it isuseful to recall that cρ2 ge exp(14709 minus c+) and to note that c(c+)qτ minus (log q + 1)is increasing for q ge 1(τ middot c(c+))1τ we see also that 1(τ middot c(c+))1τ le 1((1 minus06)eminusγc(c+))1((1minus06)eminusγ) for ρ le 06 A quick computation for our value of c+makes us conclude that q gt 112Q0min = 112000 is a sufficient condition for $(q) tobe equal to $0(q) and for $0(q) to be increasing

Since (1238) is decreasing on q for p1 fixed and $0(q) is decreasing on ρ andincreasing on q we set ρ = 06 and check that then

$0

(22 middot 1010

)ge 846765

whereas by (1238)

λ(22 middot 1010) le 838227 lt 846765

this is enough to ensure that λ(q) lt $0(q) for 22 middot 1010 le q ltprodple31 p

Let us now give some rough bounds that will be enough to cover the case q geprodple31 p First as we already discussed $(q) = $0(q) and since c(c+)qτ gt log q +

1

$0(q) ge (c(c+)qτ minus log q)1

1minusτ ge (0911q0224 minus log q)1289 ge q02797 (1239)

by q geprodple31 p We are in the range

prodplep1 p le q le

prodplep0 p where p1 lt p0

are two consecutive primes with p1 ge 31 By [RS62 (316)] and a computation for31 le q lt 200 we know that log q ge

prodplep1 log p ge 08009p1 By (1238) and

(1239) it follows that we just have to show that

e0224t gt190272(log t)3e224742t13

(08009tminus log t+ 007354)3


for t ge 31 Now t ge 31 implies 08009tminus log t+ 007354 ge 06924t and so takinglogarithms we see that we just have to verify

0224tminus 224742t13 gt 3 log log tminus 3 log t+ 63513 (1240)

for t ge 31 and since the left side is increasing and the right side is decreasing fort ge 31 this is trivial to check

We conclude that $(q) gt λ(q) whenever q ge 22 middot 1010It remains to see how we can relax this assumption if we assume that 2 middot 3 middot 5 middot 7 - q

Thus we obtain just like before that

We also check that $0(q0) ge 916322 is greater than λ(q0) le 429731 for q0 =prodple31p 6=7 p The analysis for q ge

for t ge 37 and that in turn follows from

0224tminus 224742t13 gt 3 log log tminus 3 log t+ 674849

which we check for t ge 37 just as we checked (1240)We conclude that $(q) gt λ(q) if q ge 33 middot 109 and 210 - qComputation Now for q lt 33middot109 (and also for 33middot109 le q lt 22middot1010 210|q)

we need to check that the maximum mqR1 of errqR over all $(q) le R lt λ(q)satisfies (1231) Note that there is a term errqtR in (1231) we bound it using (1232)

Since logR is increasing on R and Gq(R) depends only on bRc we can tell from(1224) that since we are taking the maximum of errqR it is enough to check integer


values of R We check all integers R in [$(q) λ(q)) for all q lt 33 middot 109 (and all33 middot 109 le q lt 22 middot 1010 210|q) by an explicit computation2

Finally we have the trivial bound

Gq(Q0sq)

Gq(Qsq)le 1 (1241)

which we shall use for Q0 close to Q

Now instead of using the easy inequalityGq(Q0)Gq(Q) le G1(Q0)G1(QQ0) useProp 1224

It would seem desirable to prove a result such as Prop 1224 (or Cor 1225 orCor 1226) without computations and with conditions that are as weak as possibleSince as we said we cannot make c+ equal to cE and since c+ does have to increasewhen the conditions are weakened (as is shown by computations this is not an arti-fact of our method of proof) the right goal might be to show that the maximum ofGq(Q0sq)Gq(Qsq) is reached when s = q = 1

However this is also untrue without conditions For instance for Q0 = 2 and Qlarge the value of Gq(Q0q)Gq(Qq) at q = 2 is larger than at q = 1 by (1212)

Thus at the very least a lower bound on Q0 is needed as a condition This also dimsthe hopes somewhat for a combinatorial proof of Gq(Q0q)G(Q) le Gq(Qq)G(Q0)at any rate while such a proof would be welcome it could not be extremely straightfor-ward since there are terms in Gq(Q0q)G(Q) that do not appear in Gq(Qq)G(Q0)


Chapter 13

The integral over the minor arcs

The time has come to bound the part of our triple-product integral (103) that comesfrom the minor arcs m sub RZ We have an ìnfin estimate (from Prop 1123 based onTheorem 311) and an `2 estimate (from sect122) Now we must put them together

There are two ways in which we must be careful A trivial bound of the form`33 =

int|S(α)|3dα le `22 middot ìnfin would introduce a fatal factor of log x coming from `2

We avoid this by using the fact that we have `2 estimates over Mδ0Q0for varying Q0

We must also remember to substract the major-arc contribution from our estimatefor Mδ0Q0 this is why we were careful to give a lower bound in Lem 1031 asopposed to just the upper bound (1028)

131 Putting together `2 bounds over arcs and ìnfin bounds

Let us start with a simple lemma ndash essentially a way to obtain upper bounds by meansof summation by parts

Lemma 1311 Let f g a a+ 1 b rarr R+0 where a b isin Z+ Assume that for

all x isin [a b] sumalenlex

f(n) le F (x) (131)

where F [a b]rarr R is continuous piecewise differentiable and non-decreasing Then

S(n)(g(n)minus g(n+ 1)) (132)

Applying this with αn = h(n)minush(n+1) andA(x) =sumalenlex αn = h(a)minush(bxc+

We will now see our main application of Lemma 1311 We have to bound anintegral of the form

intMδ0r

|S1(α)|2|S2(α)|dα where Mδ0r is a union of arcs defined

as in (105) Our inputs are (a) a bound on integrals of the formintMδ0r

|S1(α)|2dα (b)a bound on |S2(α)| for α isin (RZ)Mδ0r The input of type (a) is what we derived insect121 and sect122 the input of type (b) is a minor-arcs bound and as such was the mainsubject of Part I

whereI0 =

Proof Let y = xκ Let Q = (34)y23 as in Thm 311 (applied with y insteadof x) Let α isin (RZ) M8r where r0 le r le y136 and y is used instead ofx to define M8r (see (105)) There exists an approximation 2α = aq + δy withq le Q |δ|y le 1qQ Thus α = aprimeqprime + δ2y where either aprimeqprime = a2q oraprimeqprime = (a + q)2q holds (In particular if qprime is odd then qprime = q if qprime is even thenqprime = 2q)

There are three cases

1 q le r Then either (a) qprime is odd and qprime le r or (b) qprime is even and qprime le 2rSince α is not in M8r then by definition (105) |δ|2y ge δ0r2qy and so|δ| ge δ0rq = 8rq In particular |δ| ge 8

Thus by Prop 1123

|Sηlowast(α x)| = |Sη2lowastMφ(α y)| le gyϕ(|δ|8q

where we use the fact that g(r) is a non-increasing function (Lemma 1124)

where h(x) is as in (1115) (Of course Cϕ3(K) as in (1312) is equal toCϕ0K|φ|1 where Cϕ0K is as in (1121)) We set K = (log y)2 Sincey = xκ ge 1025 it follows that yK = 2y log y gt 347 middot 1023 gt 216 middot 1020

Let

r1 =3

gyϕ(r1) if r gt r1

By Lemma 1124 for r ge 670 g(r) is a non-increasing function and g(r) ge gyφ(r)Moreover by Lemma 1125 gyφ(r1) ge h(2y log y) where h is as in (1115) and sog(r) ge h(2y log y) for all r ge r0 ge 670 Thus we have shown that

Conclusion

We now need to gather all results using the smoothing functions

ηlowast = (η2 lowastM ϕ)(κt)

where ϕ(t) = t2eminust22 η2 = η1 lowastM η1 and η1 = 2 middot I[minus1212] and

η+ = h200(t)teminust22

where

hH(t) =

int infin0

h(tyminus1)FH(y)dy

h(t) =


FH(t) =sin(H log y)

π log y

We studied ηlowast and η+ in Part II We saw ηlowast in Thm 1321 (which actually works forgeneral ϕ [0infin)rarr [0infin) as its statement says) We will set κ soon

We fix a value for r namely r = 150000 Our results will have to be valid for anyx ge x+ where x+ is fixed We set x+ = 49 middot 1026 since we want a result valid forN ge 1027 and as was discussed in (111) we will work with x+ slightly smaller thanN2

141 The `2 norm over the major arcs explicit versionWe apply Lemma 1031 with η = η+ and η as in (113) Let us first work out theerror terms defined in (1027) Recall that δ0 = 8 By Thm 714

It only remains to show that the contribution of terms with n1 n2 or n3 non-primeto the sum in (1450) is negligible (Let us take out n1 n2 n3 equal to 2 as well sincesome prefer to state the ternary Goldbach conjecture as follows every odd numberge 9is the sum of three odd primes) Clearlysum

Since the ternary Goldbach conjecture has already been checked for allN le 8875middot1030 [HP13] we conclude that every odd number N gt 7 can be written as the sumof three odd primes and every odd number N gt 5 can be written as the sum of threeprimes The main result is hereby proven the ternary Goldbach conjecture is true

(A6)

As it turns out h η and Mh (and hence MhH ) are relatively easy to work withwhereas we can already see that hH and η+ have more complicated definitions Partof our work will consist in expressing norms of hH and η+ in terms of norms of h ηand Mh

A1 THE DECAY OF A MELLIN TRANSFORM 281

We will have to compute Ck 1 le k le 4 with some care due to the absolute valueinvolved in the definition

The function (x2(2minus x)3exminus12)prime = ((x2(2minus x)3)prime + x2(2minus x)3)exminus12 has thesame zeros as H1(x) = (x2(2minus x)3)prime + x2(2minus x)3 namely minus4 0 1 and 2 The signof H1(x) (and hence of hprime(x)) is + within (0 1) and minus within (1 2) Hence

C1 =

int infin0

|hprime(x)|dx = |h(1)minus h(0)|+ |h(2)minus h(1)| = 2h(1) = 2radice (A10)

The situation with (x2(2 minus x)3exminus12)primeprime is similar it has zeros at the roots ofH2(x) = 0 where H2(x) = H1(x) + H prime1(x) (and in general Hk+1(x) = Hk(x) +H primek(x)) This time we will prefer to find the roots numerically It is enough to find(candidates for) the roots using any available tool1 and then check rigorously that thesign does change around the purported roots In this way we check thatH2(x) = 0 hastwo roots α21 α22 in the interval (0 2) another root at 2 and two more roots outside[0 2] moreover

α21 = 048756597185712

α22 = 148777169309489 (A11)

where we verify the root using interval arithmetic The sign of H2(x) (and hence ofhprimeprime(x)) is first + then minus then + Write α20 = 0 α23 = 2 By integration by parts

C2 =

int infin0

|hprimeprime(x)|x dx =

(minus1)j+1 (hprime(α2j)α2j minus h(α2j)) = 1079195821037

(A12)

To compute C3 we proceed in the same way finding two roots of H3(x) = 0(numerically) within the interval (0 2) viz

α31 = 104294565694978

α32 = 180999654602916

The sign of H3(x) on the interval [0 2] is first minus then + then minus Write α30 = 0α33 = 2 Proceeding as before ndash with the only difference that the integration by parts

1Routine find root in SAGE was used here


is iterated once now ndash we obtain that

(A13)

and so interval arithmetic gives us

C3 = 751295251672 (A14)

The treatment of the integral in C4 is very similar at least as first There are tworoots of H4(x) = 0 in the interval (0 2) namely

α41 = 045839599852663

α42 = 154626346975533

A2 THE DIFFERENCE η+ minus η IN `2 NORM 283

We finish by remarking that can write down Mh explicitly

Mh = minuseminus12(minus1)minuss(8γ(s+2minus2)+12γ(s+3minus2)+6γ(s+4minus2)+γ(s+5minus2))(A16)

where γ(s x) is the (lower) incomplete Gamma function

γ(s x) =

We will however find it easier to deal with Mh by means of the bound (A8) in partbecause (A16) amounts to an invitation to numerical instability

For instance it is easy to use (A8) to give a bound for the `1-norm of Mh(it)Since C4C3 gt C3C2 gt C2C1 gt C1C0

By the bisection method with 30 iterations implemented with interval arithmetic

|η(t) log t|infin le 0279491 |ηdiams(t)t log t|infin le 03811561

B1 The Fourier transform of ηprimeprime2Our aim here is to give upper bounds on |ηprimeprime2 |infin where η2 is as in (34) We will doconsiderably better than the trivial bound |ηprimeprime|infin le |ηprimeprime|1

Lemma B11 For every t isin R

|4e(minust4)minus 4e(minust2) + e(minust)| le 787052 (B1)

We will describe an extremely simple but rigorous procedure to find the maxi-mum Since |g(t)|2 is C2 (in fact smooth) there are several more efficient and equallyrigourous algorithms ndash for starters the bisection method with error bounded in termsof |(|g|2)primeprime|infin

Proof Letg(t) = 4e(minust4)minus 4e(minust2) + e(minust) (B2)

For a le t le b

(This formula in all likelihood well-known is easy to derive First we can assumewithout loss of generality that a = 0 b = 1 and g(a) = g(b) = 0 Dividing by gby g(t) we see that we can also assume that g(t) is real (and in fact 1) We can alsoassume that g is real-valued in that it will be enough to prove (B3) for the real-valuedfunction ltg as this will give us the bound g(t) = ltg(t) le (18) maxv |(ltg)primeprime(v)| lemaxv |gprimeprime(v)| that we wish for Lastly we can assume (by symmetry) that 0 le t le 12and that g has a local maximum or minimum at t Writing M = maxuisin[01] |gprimeprime(u)|we then have

Clearly g(t) depends only on t mod 4π Hence by (B4) and (B5) to estimate

maxtisinR|g(t)|

with an error of at most ε it is enough to subdivide [0 4π] into intervals of lengthleradic

8ε9π2 each We set ε = 10minus6 and compute

Lemma B12 Let η2 R+ rarr R be as in (34) Then

|ηprimeprime2 |infin le 31521 (B6)

This should be compared with |ηprimeprime2 |1 = 48

Proof We can write

ηprimeprime2 (x) = 4(4δ14(x)minus 4δ12(x) + δ1(x)) + f(x) (B7)

where δx0is the point measure at x0 of mass 1 (Dirac delta function) and

f(x) =

0 if x lt 14 or x ge 1minus4xminus2 if 14 le x lt 124xminus2 if 12 le x lt 1

Thus ηprimeprime2 (t) = 4g(t) + f(t) where g is as in (B2) It is easy to see that |f prime|1 =2 maxx f(x)minus 2 minx f(x) = 160 Therefore∣∣∣f(t)

Since 31521 minus 4 middot 787052 = 003892 we conclude that (B6) follows from LemmaB11 and (B8) for |t| ge 655 gt 80(π middot 003892)

It remains to check the range t isin (minus655 655) since 4g(minust)+f(minust) is the complexconjugate of 4g(t) + f(t) it suffices to consider t non-negative We use (B4) (with4g+ f instead of g) and obtain that to estimate maxtisinR |4g+ f(t)| with an error of at

most ε it is enough to subdivide [0 655) into intervals of lengthleradic

2ε|(4g + f)primeprime|infineach and check |4g + f(t)| at the endpoints Now for every t isin R∣∣∣∣(f)primeprime (t)∣∣∣∣ =

B2 BOUNDS INVOLVING A LOGARITHMIC FACTOR 293

By this and (B5) |(4g + f)primeprime|infin le 48π2 Thus intervals of length δ1 give an errorterm of size at most 24π2δ2

1 We choose δ1 = 0001 and obtain an error term less than0000237 for this stage

To evaluate f(t) (and hence 4g(t) + f(t)) at a point we integrate using Simpsonrsquosrule on subdivisions of the intervals [14 12] [12 1] into 200 middotmax(1 b

radic|t|c) sub-

B2 Bounds involving a logarithmic factor

Our aim now is to give upper bounds on |ηprimeprime(y)|infin where η(y)(t) = log(yt)η2(t) andy ge 4

Lemma B21 Let η2 R+ rarr R be as in (34) Let η(y)(t) = log(yt)η2(t) wherey ge 4 Then

|ηprime(y)|1 lt (log y)|ηprime2|1 (B9)

Proof Recall that supp(η2) = (14 1) For t isin (14 12)

ηprime(y)(t) = (4 log(yt) log 4t)prime =4 log 4t

t+

4 log yt

tge 8 log 4t

whereas for t isin (12 1)

ηprime(y)(t) = (minus4 log(yt) log t)prime = minus4 log yt

tminus 4 log t

t= minus4 log yt2

tlt 0

where we are using the fact that y ge 4 Hence η(y)(t) is increasing on (14 12) anddecreasing on (12 1) it is also continuous at t = 12 Hence |ηprime(y)|1 = 2|η(y)(12)|We are done by

2|η(y)(12)| = 2 logy

2middot η2(12) = log

Lemma B22 Let y ge 4 Let g(t) = 4e(minust4) minus 4e(minust2) + e(minust) and k(t) =2e(minust4)minus e(minust2) Then for every t isin R

|g(t) middot log y minus k(t) middot 4 log 2| le 787052 log y (B10)

Proof By Lemma B11 |g(t)| le 787052 Since y ge 4 k(t) middot (4 log 2) log y le 6For any complex numbers z1 z2 with |z1| |z2| le ` we can have |z1 minus z2| gt ` only if| arg(z1z2)| gt π3 It is easy to check that for all t isin [minus2 2]∣∣∣∣arg

(It is possible to bound maxima rigorously as in (B4)) Hence (B10) holds1As usual the code uses interval arithmetic (sect26)


Lemma B23 Let η2 R+ rarr R be as in (34) Let η(y)(t) = (log yt)η2(t) wherey ge 4 Then

|ηprimeprime(y)|infin lt 31521 middot log y (B11)

Proof Clearly

ηprimeprime(y)(x) = ηprimeprime2 (x)(log y) +

((log x)ηprimeprime2 (x) +

)= ηprimeprime2 (x)(log y) + 4(log x)(4δ14(x)minus 4δ12(x) + δ1(x)) + h(x)

where

h(x) =

0 if x lt 14 or x gt 14x2 (2minus 2 log 2x) if 14 le x lt 124x2 (minus2 + 2 log x) if 12 le x lt 1

(Here we are using the expression (B7) for ηprimeprime2 (x)) Hence

ηprimeprime(y)(t) = (4g(t) + f(t))(log y) + (minus16 log 2 middot k(t) + h(t)) (B12)

where k(t) = 2e(minust4)minus e(minust2) Just as in the proof of Lemma B12

|f(t)| le |fprime|1

)= 225251

Note also that it is enough to check (B11) for t ge 0 by symmetry Our remaining taskis to prove (B11) for 0 le t le 225221

Let I = [03 225221] [325 365] For t isin I we will have

arg

)sub(minusπ

) (B14)

(This is actually true for 0 le t le 03 as well but we will use a different strategy inthat range in order to better control error terms) Consequently by Lemma B12 andlog y ge log 4

|ηprimeprime(y)(t)| lt max(|4g(t) + f(t)| middot (log y) |16 log 2 middot k(t)minus h(t)|)

lt max(31521(log y) |48 log 2 + 25|) = 31521 log y

where we bound h(t) by (B13) and by a numerical computation of the maximum of|h(t)| for 0 le t le 4 as in the proof of Lemma B12

It remains to check (B14) Here as in the proof of Lemma B22 the allowableerror is relatively large (the expression on the left of (B14) is actually contained in


(minus1 1) for t isin I) We decide to evaluate the argument in (B14) at all t isin 0005Z cap I computing f(t) and h(t) by numerical integration (Simpsonrsquos rule) with a subdivisionof [minus14 1] into 5000 intervals Proceeding as in the proof of Lemma B11 we seethat the sampling induces an error of at most

An easy integral gives us that the function log middotη2 satisfies

| log middotη2|1 = 2minus log 4 (B17)

The following function will appear only in a lower-order term thus an `1 estimate willdo


|(log middotη2)primeprime|1 = 96 log 2 (B18)


Proof The function log middotη(t) is 0 for t isin [14 1] is increasing and negative for t isin(14 12) and is decreasing and positive for t isin (12 1) Hence

that ϕ be smooth can be relaxed since already the weaker assumption that ϕprimeprime be in L1

Appendix D

Checking small n by checkingzeros of ζ(s)

In order to show that every odd number n le N is the sum of three primes it is enoughto show for some M le N that

1 every even integer 4 le m leM can be written as the sum of two primes

2 the difference between any two consecutive primes le N is at most M minus 4

(If we want to show that every odd number n le N is the sum of three odd primeswe just replace M minus 4 by M minus 6 in (2)) The best known result of type (1) is thatof Oliveira e Silva Herzog and Pardi ([OeSHP14] M = 4 middot 1018) As for (2) it wasproven in [HP13] for M = 4 middot 1018 and N = 8875694 middot 1030 by a direct computation(valid even if we replace M minus 4 by M minus 6 in the statement of (2))

Alternatively one can establish results of type (2) by means of numerical verifica-tions of the Riemann hypothesis up to a certain height This is a classical approachfollowed in [RS75] and [Sch76] and later in [RS03] we will use the version of (1)kindly provided by Ramare in [Ramd] We carry out this approach in full here notbecause it is preferrable to [HP13] ndash it is still based on computations and it is slightlymore indirect than [HP13] ndash but simply to show that one can establish what we needby a different route

A numerical verification of the Riemann hypothesis up to a certain height consistssimply in checking that all (non-trivial) zeroes z of the Riemann zeta function up to aheight H (meaning =(z) le H) lie on the critical line lt(z) = 12

The height up to which the Riemann hypothesis has actually been fully verified isnot a matter on which there is unanimity The strongest claim in the literature is in[GD04] which states that the first 1013 zeroes of the Riemann zeta function lie on thecritical line lt(z) = 12 This corresponds to checking the Riemann hypothesis up toheight H = 244599 middot 1012 It is unclear whether this computation was or could beeasily made rigorous as pointed out in [SD10 p 2398] it has not been replicated yet

Before [GD04] the strongest results were those of the ZetaGrid distributed com-puting project led by S Wedeniwski [Wed03] the method followed in it was more

traditional and should allow rigorous verification involving interval arithmetic Unfor-tunately the results were never formally published The statement that the ZetaGridproject verified the first 9 middot 1011 zeroes (corresponding to H = 2419 middot 1011) is oftenquoted (eg [Bom10 p 29]) this is the point to which the project had got by thetime of Gourdon and Demichelrsquos announcement Wedeniwski asserts in private com-munication that the project verified the first 1012 zeroes and that the computation wasdouble-checked (by the same method)

The strongest claim prior to ZetaGrid was that of van de Lune (H = 3293 middot 109first 1010 zeroes unpublished) Recently Platt [Plaa] checked the first 11 middot 1011 ze-roes (H = 3061 middot 1010) rigorously following a method essentially based on thatin [Boo06a] Note that [Plaa] uses interval arithmetic which is highly desirable forfloating-point computations

Proposition D03 Every odd integer 5 le n le n0 is the sum of three primes where

n0 =

590698 middot 1029 if [GD04] is used (H = 244 middot 1012)615697 middot 1028 if ZetaGrid results are used (H = 2419 middot 1011)123163 middot 1027 if [Plaa] is used ( H = 3061 middot 1010)

Proof For n le 4 middot 1018 + 3 this is immediate from [OeSHP14] Let 4 middot 1018 + 3 ltn le n0 We need to show that there is a prime p in [n minus 4 minus (n minus 4)∆ n minus 4]where ∆ is large enough for (nminus 4)∆ le 4 middot 1018 minus 4 to hold We will then have that4 le n minus p le 4 + (n minus 4)∆ le 4 middot 1018 Since n minus p is even [OeSHP14] will thenimply that nminus p is the sum of two primes pprime pprimeprime and so

n = p+ pprime + pprimeprime

Since nminus 4 gt 1011 the interval [nminus 4minus (nminus 4)∆ nminus 4] with ∆ = 28314000must contain a prime [RS03] This gives the solution for (nminus4) le 11325 middot1026 sincethen (nminus 4) le 4 middot 1018 minus 4 Note 11325 middot 1026 gt e59

From here onwards we use the tables in [Ramd] to find acceptable values of ∆Since nminus 4 ge e59 we can choose

∆ =

52211882224 if [GD04] is used (case (a))13861486834 if ZetaGrid is used (case (b))307779681 if [Plaa] is used (case (c))

This gives us (n minus 4)∆ le 4 middot 1018 minus 4 for n minus 4 lt er0 where r0 = 67 in case (a)r0 = 66 in case (b) and r0 = 62 in case (c)

If nminus 4 ge er0 we can choose (again by [Ramd])

∆ =

146869130682 in case (a)15392435100 in case (b)307908668 in case (c)

This is enough for nminus4 lt e68 in case (a) and without further conditions for (b) or (c)

307

Finally if nminus 4 ge e68 and we are in case (a) [Ramd] assures us that the choice

∆ = 147674531294

is valid we verify as well that (n0 minus 4)∆ le 4 middot 1018 minus 4

In other words the rigorous results in [Plaa] are enough to show the result for allodd n le 1027 Of course [HP13] is also more than enough and gives stronger resultsthan Prop D03
