Publications & Preprints

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 All texts are posted as work in progress and have not been peer reviewed.


Everything below is an unpublished, non-peer-reviewed draft by the author.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 in order to keep the research process open; comments, corrections, and pointers to related work are welcome at [email protected].

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 of L(s,χD) exists, then the number of representations satisfies r(N)>0 for all even N above an explicit threshold depending on δ1.

Status correction (May 2026). A later source audit found that the draft’s derivation additionally rests on a broad Hardy–Littlewood-type dominance assumption that has not been matched to any published theorem. The claimed bypass of the parity barrier is therefore not established from the Siegel-zero hypothesis alone; the text is kept online as a documented draft, with its status corrected here and on the results page. The paper does not prove the Goldbach conjecture.

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 correspondence between these formulations is offered as a working dictionary: no equivalence theorem is claimed, the supporting arguments are sketches, 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) — arising from additive Goldbach witnesses. Eight precise statements are proved. The central estimate CWC3 is stated in the note as a conjecture; since May 2026 it has additionally been certified in the project’s Lean layer as a theorem modulo explicit classical inputs. 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: in particular, a consolidation “Proposition (1+1.8) from published sources”, recording what exactly follows from the literature without new effort. It is 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.

If you use these materials in your own work, or if you spot an error, please write to [email protected].
