On Linnik's conjecture: sums of squares and microsquares

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2929658




Abstract: We show that almost all natural numbers n not divisible by 4, and not congruent to 7 modulo 8, are represented as the sum of three squares, one of which is the square of an integer no larger than (log n)^{1+e} (any e>0). This answers a conjecture of Linnik for almost all natural numbers, and sharpens a conclusion of Bourgain, Rudnick and Sarnak concerning nearest neighbour distances between normalised integral points on the sphere.
