Chen's theorem on Goldbach's conjecture

Statement

Chen's theorem on Goldbach's conjecture states that every sufficiently large even integer can be expressed either as the sum of two primes, or as the sum of a prime and a semiprime (i.e., a number that is a product of two distinct primes).

• Cai's theorem on Goldbach's conjecture: Every sufficiently large even integer $N$ can be written as the sum of a prime less than or equal to $N^{0.95}$ and a number with at most two prime factors.
