Review text

It was shown by \textit{L. K. Hua} [Additive Primzahltheorie. Leipzig, Teubner (1959; Zbl 0088.25503)] that the equation \[ N= p_1^2+\cdots +p_5^2 \tag \(*\) \] is solvable in primes \(p_1,\dots, p_5\) if \(N\equiv 5\pmod {24}\) is sufficiently large. The author sharpens this result by showing that one can impose the restrictions \(p_i\equiv b_i\pmod d\) where \(d\leq N^\delta\) (\(\delta\) is an effectively calculable positive constant), and the \(b_i\)'s satisfy appropriate conditions. A first result of this kind, the ternary Goldbach problem with comparable restrictions on the primes \(p_i\), was recently proved by \textit{M. C. Liu} and \textit{Tao Zhan} [Analytic Number Theory, Y. Motohashi (ed.), Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 247, 227-251 (1997; Zbl 0913.11043)]. Similar to that paper, the main difficulties arise from the estimation of the singular series.
