$6$ powers of $2$ in the Linnik--Goldbach problem
Abstract
Linnik's approximation to Goldbach's conjecture concerns the representation of sufficiently large even integers as the sum of two primes and a bounded number of powers of two. We prove that $6$ powers of $2$ suffice unconditionally and that $5$ suffice under the GRH, improving previous works.
