On the sum of the square of a prime and a square-free number
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2016
Abstract
We prove that every integer $n\geqslant 10$ such that $n\not \equiv 1\text{ mod }4$ can be written as the sum of the square of a prime and a square-free number. This makes explicit a theorem of Erdős that every sufficiently large integer of this type may be written in such a way. Our proof requires us to construct new explicit results for primes in arithmetic progressions. As such, we use the second author’s numerical computation regarding the generalised Riemann hypothesis to extend the explicit bounds of Ramaré–Rumely.
