Goldbach's weak conjecture. Helfgott's theorem and numeric verification

Presenters

Eduard Roure Perdices

Abstract

Goldbach’s weak conjecture asserts that every odd integer greater than 5 is the sum of three primes. We study that problem and the proof of it presented by H. A. Helfgott and D. Platt. We focus on the circle method. Finally, we describe a computation that confirms Goldbach’s weak conjecture up to $10^{28}$.
