We present estimates for smooth Weyl sums of use on sets of major arcs in applications of the Hardy–Littlewood method. In particular, we derive mean value estimates on major arcs for smooth Weyl sums of degree $$k$$ delivering essentially optimal bounds for moments of order $$u$$ whenever $$u>2\lfloor k/2\rfloor +4$$.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available November 26, 2025

Let $$k$$ be a natural number and let $$c=2.134693\ldots$$ be the unique real solution of the equation $$2c=2+\log (5c-1)$$ in $$[1,\infty)$$. Then, when $$s\ge ck+4$$, we establish an asymptotic lower bound of the expected order of magnitude for the number of representations of a large positive integer as the sum of one prime and $$s$$ positive integral $$k$$-th powers.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available November 28, 2025

Abstract Let {G(k)}denote the least numbershaving the property that everysufficiently large natural number is the sum of at mostspositive integralk-th powers.Then for all {k\in\mathbb{N}}, one has G(k)\leqslant\lceil k(\log k+4.20032)\rceil. Our new methods improve on all bounds available hitherto when {k\geqslant 14}.more » « less

Abstract Let satisfy . Freĭman's theorem shows that when , there exists such that all large integers are represented in the form , with , if and only if diverges. We make this theorem effective by showing that, for each fixed , it suffices to impose the conditionMore is established when the sequence of exponents forms an arithmetic progression. Thus, for example, when and , all large integers are represented in the form , with .more » « less

We consider certain systems of three linked simultaneous diagonal equations in ten variables with total degree exceeding five. By means of a complification argument, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of integral solutions of this system of bounded height that resolves the associated paucity problem.more » « less
