Diagonal cubic equations in four variables with prime coefficients

joint with C.L. Basile

We give an alternative proof of a theorem of R. Heath-Brown regarding the existence of non-zero integral solutions of the equation p1 X13 + p2 X23 + p3 X33 + p4 X43 = 0, where the pj are prime integers = 2 (mod 3).
