A survey on the theory of meromorphic continuation and natural boundaries of multiple Dirichlet series is given by \textit{S. Egami} and \textit{K. Matsumoto} [in: Number theory. Sailing on the sea of number theory. Proceedings of the 4th China-Japan seminar on number theory, China, 2006. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific, 1--23 (2007; Zbl 1131.11057)]. These authors investigate the generating function \[ \Phi_r(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{G_r(n)}{m^s} \] (with \(G_r(n)\) denoting the number of representations of an integer \(n\) as the sum of \(r\) primes) and, assuming the Riemann hypothesis, they find that the natural boundary of \(\Phi_r(s)\) is \(\text{Re}(s)=r-1\), for all \(r\geq 2\). The main novelty of the paper under review is Theorem 3 that gives an explicit expansion of \(\Phi_r(s)\) in terms of rational functions and a function \(R(s)\) holomorphic in \(\text{Re}(s)>r-1-\frac{1}{10}\) and uniformly bounded in some half strips. The proof makes use of the Ramanujan-Hardy-Littlewood circle method.
