Extract

A famous conjecture of Hardy and Littlewood [4] stated that all sufficiently large integers n could be represented in the form

where p is a rational prime and x, y are integers. G. K. Stanley [9] showed that this result held for “almost all” integers n if one assumed a hypothesis concerning the zeros of L-functions similar to, though weaker than, the extended Riemann hypothesis.
