On the Waring-Goldbach problem for fourth and sixth powers. (English) Zbl 1370.11116

Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 108, No. 6, 1593-1622 (2014).
Summary: We consider the Waring-Goldbach problem for fourth and sixth powers. In particular, we establish that every sufficiently large positive integer under a natural congruence condition can be represented as a sum of \(13\) fourth powers of prime numbers. This improves upon the earlier result of K. Kawada and T. D. Wooley [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 83, No. 1, 1–50 (2001; Zbl 1016.11046)].
