Quadratic Equations With Five Prime Unknowns
by
Stephen Choi

Coauthors: Angel Kumchev

In this talk, we will consider the following quadratic diophantine equation
b1p12+ ... +b5p52 = n,     pj is prime
and discuss our recent result of the small prime solutions of the equation, namely, if b1, ... , b5 are not of the same sign, then the equation has prime solution pj satisfying
pj <<

{ |bj| }8+\epsilon.
This improves the previous result with the exponent 12 in place of 8 above.
