Abstract

We examine here the class structure of odd primes within the modular ring ℤ4 in relation to Goldbach’s Conjecture. Such analyses, together with the identification of compatible right-end digits for the Goldberg ‘system’, permit a more efficient search for prime pairs. This is useful for the study of very large even numbers, the distribution of twin primes and other prime constellations, and the relative distribution of primes between the classes l4 and 34 .
