In this paper, we show that $D_{1,2}(N) \\geqslant 1.267 \\frac{C(N) N}{(\\log N)^2}$, improving previous record of Wu about $40\\%$. We also get similar results on twin prime problem and additive representations of integers. An important step in the proof is the application of a theorem of Lichtman.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-05-13T12:22:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chens theorem", "goldbachs conjecture", "prime twins", "twin prime problem", "important step" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
