Refined Goldbach conjectures for selected moduli

Let pp and qq be primes. The selected-moduli refined Goldbach conjecture. The following assertions hold:

  1. Every even n0(mod3)n\equiv0\pmod3 except n=6n=6 has a representation with pq1(mod3)p\equiv-q\equiv1\pmod3.
  2. Every even n0(mod5)n\equiv0\pmod5 has a representation with pq2(mod5)p\equiv-q\equiv2\pmod5; apart from n=10,20n=10,20, it also has one with pq1(mod5)p\equiv-q\equiv1\pmod5.
  3. Every even n0(mod7)n\equiv0\pmod7 has a representation with pq3(mod7)p\equiv-q\equiv3\pmod7.
  4. Every even n0(mod11)n\equiv0\pmod{11} has a representation with pq3(mod11)p\equiv-q\equiv3\pmod{11}.
  5. Every n0(mod8)n\equiv0\pmod8 has a representation with pq3(mod8)p\equiv-q\equiv3\pmod8.
  6. Every n0(mod16)n\equiv0\pmod{16} has a representation with pq3(mod16)p\equiv-q\equiv3\pmod{16}.
  7. For any fixed integer aa coprime to 6060 and not congruent to ±1\pm1 or ±11(mod60)\pm11\pmod{60}, every n0(mod60)n\equiv0\pmod{60} has a representation with pqa(mod60)p\equiv-q\equiv a\pmod{60}.

These are explicit Goldbach-type conjectures based on computations; only the first item is described as a direct consequence of binary Goldbach. The remaining assertions are supported by numerical evidence but are unproved.
