Draft preprints and working notes, together with the rules for using and citing them. All texts are posted as work in progress and have not been peer reviewed.


Everything below is an unpublished, non-peer-reviewed draft by the author. None of it should be read as an established result. The texts are posted for the sake of openness of the research process; comments, corrections, and pointers to related work are welcome at sergey@zheleznov.com.

The bibliographies of the drafts are under revision: statements, numbering, and the set of sources may change between versions.

On the Quantitative Sieve Parity Bypass under the Siegel Zero Hypothesis

This paper develops a quantitative form of the “exceptional-character bypass” of the sieve parity barrier for the binary Goldbach problem. The main statement is explicitly conditional: if a Siegel zero β1=1δ1\beta_1 = 1 - \delta_1 of L(s,χD)L(s, \chi_D) exists, then the number of representations satisfies

r(N)>0for all even N>exp ⁣(C/δ1),r(N) > 0 \quad \text{for all even } N > \exp\!\bigl(C / \delta_1\bigr),

with an effective constant CC. Thus the paper does not prove the Goldbach conjecture; it shows that in the presence of an exceptional zero — the scenario usually regarded as an obstruction to sieve methods — the parity barrier can be bypassed, with an explicit dependence of the threshold on δ1\delta_1.

The Bilinear Minor-Arcs Hypothesis as the Unifying Isomorphism of the Sieve Parity Barrier

A meta-theoretic survey. Ten historically distinct formulations of the parity barrier — from classical sieve-theoretic ones to statements in the language of bilinear sums — are presented as projections of a single hypothesis, which the author calls the Bilinear Minor-Arcs Hypothesis (BMAH).

The main isomorphism theorem between these formulations is given in sketch form only: its proof is not complete, and the BMAH itself remains a conjecture. The text should be read as a map of the landscape, not as a summary of established facts.

A Balanced Divisor-Weight Orthogonality Problem Arising from Additive Goldbach Witnesses

This note derives exact second-moment identities for shifted Möbius sums — sums of the shape nxμ(n)μ(n+h)\sum_{n \le x} \mu(n)\,\mu(n+h) — arising from additive Goldbach witnesses. Eight rigid statements are proved. The central estimate CWC3\mathrm{CWC}_3 itself is stated as a conjecture — a theorem-card target — not a theorem, and it is not used as an input for any claim about the binary Goldbach problem.

Working notes

Some material exists so far only as internal working notes, not yet formatted as standalone files: a consolidation “Proposition (1+1.8) from published sources”, recording what exactly follows from the literature without new effort, and an interval certificate for the (1+11/8)(1 + 11/8) candidate. Both are described in context on the results page.

How to cite

Since none of these texts is published or peer reviewed, please cite them not as preprints but as materials on the author’s personal page — zheleznov.com — with an explicit access date: the drafts may change, and the date fixes which version is being referred to.
