Abstract

We develop a substantial enhancement of the efficient congruencing method to estimate Vinogradov's integral of degree k for moments of order 2s, thereby obtaining for the first time near-optimal estimates for s>(5/8)k^2. There are numerous applications. In particular, when k is large, the anticipated asymptotic formula in Waring's problem is established for sums of s kth powers of natural numbers whenever s⩾1.543k^2.
