Toward a Geometric-Dynamical Reformulation of the Goldbach Partition Function

The strong Goldbach conjecture asserts that every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. Rather than presenting a proof of this conjecture, this paper proposes a geometric-dynamical reformulation of the associated Goldbach partition function. For a finite cutoff X, let P_X = {p ≤ X : p is prime} and define the finite configuration space C_X = P_X × P_X. The Goldbach map G_X : C_X ⟶ E_X, G_X(p,q) = p + q, where E_X denotes the finite set of even target values under consideration, allows the Goldbach partition function to be written as r_G(2n) = #G_X^(-1)(2n). The main proposal of the paper is to reinterpret G_X^(-1)(2n) as a geometric multiplicity: the number of prime-labelled trajectories, intersections, or layers reaching a target region R_2n associated with the even integer 2n. Inspired by the dynamics of translation surfaces and rigidity phenomena for the SL(2, R)-action on moduli spaces, we formulate a conditional covering principle. If primality can be encoded by an intrinsic geometric invariant and if the resulting prime-labelled dynamical system covers every even target region in finite time, then the strong Goldbach conjecture follows. The contribution of this paper is therefore not a proof of Goldbach's conjecture, but a precise research program: to identify the missing geometric encoding of primality and the independent covering principle required to transform this reformulation into a genuine proof.

Abstract

The strong Goldbach conjecture asserts that every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. Rather than presenting a proof of this conjecture, this paper proposes a geometric-dynamical reformulation of the associated Goldbach partition function. For a finite cutoff X, let P_X = {p ≤ X : p is prime} and define the finite configuration space C_X = P_X × P_X. The Goldbach map G_X : C_X ⟶ E_X, G_X(p,q) = p + q, where E_X denotes the finite set of even target values under consideration, allows the Goldbach partition function to be written as r_G(2n) = #G_X^(-1)(2n). The main proposal of the paper is to reinterpret G_X^(-1)(2n) as a geometric multiplicity: the number of prime-labelled trajectories, intersections, or layers reaching a target region R_2n associated with the even integer 2n. Inspired by the dynamics of translation surfaces and rigidity phenomena for the SL(2, R)-action on moduli spaces, we formulate a conditional covering principle. If primality can be encoded by an intrinsic geometric invariant and if the resulting prime-labelled dynamical system covers every even target region in finite time, then the strong Goldbach conjecture follows. The contribution of this paper is therefore not a proof of Goldbach's conjecture, but a precise research program: to identify the missing geometric encoding of primality and the independent covering principle required to transform this reformulation into a genuine proof.
