We correct a serious oversight in our first paper, but make further progress on the exponential sums estimates needed, together with an embellishment of the previous sieve technique employed. This leads to an improvement in our bounds for the maximal size of the exceptional sets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-02-24T17:02:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11P32" ], "keywords": [ "exceptional set", "elementary congruence conditions", "sieve technique", "first paper", "exponential sums estimates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.4190H" } } }
