Review text

I. M. Vinogradov proved in 1937 that every large odd number \(N\) is a sum of three primes, and later \textit{C. B. Haselgrove} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 26, 273-277 (1951; Zbl 0043.04704)] showed that such primes can be chosen to lie within a distance of \(N^\theta\) from \(N/3\), with \({63\over 64}<\theta<1\). There have been several extensions of the range of admissible values for \(\theta\), with the latest result by \textit{C. Jia} [Acta Math. Sin., New Ser. 10, No. 4, 369-387 (1994; Zbl 0847.11054)] who gave \({7\over 12}<\theta<1\). The authors further extend the range to \({4\over 7}\leq\theta<1\) and remark that, with more work, it may be possible to replace the exponent \({4\over 7}\) by \({9\over 16}\), but that the value \({11\over 20}\) will require a substantial new idea. It may suffice to say that the method overlaps with that of \textit{R. C. Baker, G. Harman} and \textit{J. Pintz} [The exceptional set for Goldbach's problem in short intervals, in Sieve methods, exponential sums, and their applications in number theory, G. R. H. Greaves, G. Harman, M. N. Huxley (Eds.), Proceedings of the symposium held in Cardiff, July 17-21, 1995 (1997)]. It appears that the copy-editor of the journal has replaced the surnames of Chinese mathematicians being quoted by their second names; thus Chinese surnames are entirely absent within the text, and they appear only as single initials instead in the references. Some care and courtesy should perhaps be taken with such matters.
