Sums of three positive cubes
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We survey ideas surrounding the study of the number of integers that can be represented as the sum of three positive cubes. We focus on the early contribution of Davenport using elementary techniques, and the subsequent developments due to Vaughan, which introduced Fourier analysis and mirrored many of the important developments of the Hardy–Littlewood circle method.
