modern proof of the conditional three prime theorem by Hardy and Littlewood

80 Views Asked by At

Hardy and Littlewood proved the three prime theorem under the GRH(generalized Riemann hypothesis) in an old paper: Some problems of `Partitio numerorum'; III: On the expression of a number as a sum of primes. Acta Math. 44 (1923), no. 1, 1–70.

The proof is long with old notations. Is there a modern reference for their proof? I mean, modern people should be able to simplify their proof to make it shorter than Vinogradov's unconditional proof given in Nathanson's Additive Number Theory textbook. My main focus is: how does GRH help in simplifying Vinogradov's proof? I heard that with GRH, the estimate for minor arc is much simpler but I don't know the details.
