An explicit seven cube theorem
Concerning the seven cube theorem of Linnik, McCurley showed that every integer exceeding \(\exp(\exp(13.89))\) can be written as the sum of seven cubes of non-negative integers [see in particular the last part of the paper ``An effective seven cube theorem, J. Number Theory 19, 176--183 (1984; Zbl 0546.10044)]. The paper under review is devoted to reducing the latter constant to \(\exp(205\,000)\). (Note that \(e^{13.89}\) is just slightly larger than \(1\,077\,333.969\).) The proof is a variant of Watson's simple proof of Linnik's theorem, being based on the following identity due to Bombieri; \[ \begin{multlined} (u^2v^2a+wx)^3+ (u^2v^2a-wx)^3+ (u^2w^2a+vy)^3+ (u^2w^2a-vy)^3+ (v^2w^2a+uz)^3+ (v^2w^2a-uz)^3=\\ 2(u^6v^6+u^6w^6+v^6w^6)a^3+ 6au^2v^2w^2(x^2+y^2+z^2). \end{multlined} \] The improvement comes from the use of this identity as well as numerical refinements at several points.
