An Algebraic Approach to the Goldbach Conjecture
We prove the Goldbach Conjecture using p-adic analysis and algebraic methods, requiring no knowledge of prime gaps or distribution. To begin, we define the set of primes up to $a \in \mathbb{N}$ as $\mathcal{P}_a$. It will be shown that if a counter-example $2a$ exists, there exists a polynomial \[ \mathcal{G}_-(z) = \prod_{p_k \in \mathcal{P}_a} (z - p_k) - \prod_{p_k \in \mathcal{P}_a}p_k^{α_k} \] with conditions $\mathcal{G}_-(2a) = 0$ and all $α_k \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$. We then use Hensel's Lemma to assist in proving this polynomial structure places the constraint that the solutions for $2a$ require \[ S_a = \{p_i \in \mathcal{P}_a : 2a = p_i^{α_i} + p_i \} \] which is impossible for $a > 3$ as this requires $a\# \; |\; 2a$.
