ABSTRACT

In this paper, which is entirely unconditional, we prove a sharpened almost-all theorem with fully explicit effective constants for the restricted weighted Goldbach sum

Ra,q(N) := ∑p1+p2=Np1≡a (mod q)(logp1)(logp2), q≥1, gcd(a,q)=1,

whose expected main term is Ma,q(N)=C2S(N)N/φ(q), where C2=0.6601618… is the twin-prime constant and S(N) is the binary singular series.

Our results are organised around four pillars. (I) We give a complete character-pair decomposition of the second moment of the error E(N):=Ra,q(N)−Ma,q(N), extracting the exact diagonal constant G/(2φ(q)), where G=∏p>2(1+(p−1)−2)∈[1.41320990,1.41321132] is the Gallagher-Goldston constant. (II) We establish a uniform minor-arc L4 bound

∫𝔪|S(α)|4 dα ≤ κsafe⋅2A⋅X3(logX)A,  κsafe=4.4044,

by combining the complete Vaughan identity with the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem in integral form, giving an explicit derivation of κexplicit=CV2cL2=4.004 before applying a rigorous 10% safety margin. (III) We derive the effective almost-all theorem

#{N≤X  even:|Ra,q(N)−Ma,q(N)|>C(A,q) N(logN)−3} ≪A,q X(logX)−A,

with the explicit constant K:=2C(1,4)≤38.86, obtained from C(1,4)≤19.43 via a Stechkin-type optimisation. (IV) We prove a Pintz-type exceptional-set bound on {N≤X:Ra,q(N)=0}.

Most statements in the main body carry the tag [PROVED]; a small number of remarks (Remark 1.3, Remark 4.4, Remark 6.2) and Theorem 6.5 are explicitly flagged [HONEST CAVEAT]. No Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, no zero-density hypothesis, no ternary sum Wa,q(n), no spectral input, and no Chen-type sieve are used anywhere.
