Vinogradov's mean value theorem via efficient congruencing

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We obtain estimates for Vinogradov's integral which for the first time approach those conjectured to be the best possible. Several applications of these new bounds are provided. In particular, the conjectured asymptotic formula in Waring's problem holds for sums of s kth powers of natural numbers whenever s is at least 2k^2+2k-3.
