Extractions: Home Pro Theory Pro Answers Forum ... Mathematics Answers Discuss The Twin Primes Conjecture We need to prove whether a singular statement is either true or false. This conjecture states that there are infinitely many "twin pairs" of prime numbers in existence. Prime numbers can only be evenly divided by themselves and 1. A twin pair means that there are some primes that are only 2 apart. For example, 11 and 13 or 17 and 19. The largest pair of twin primes recorded up until the year 2000 was apparently made up of numbers with 18, 075 digits each. This problem has been investigated using computers but nobody has yet managed to find a definite proof or disproof of this statement. Are there infinitely many twin pairs of primes? Can we ever hope to unchangingly prove this singular statement? Are there infinitely many "twin pairs" of primes in existence? The answer to this conjecture is to realise that there are no unchanging constants in any field of study.
Extractions: Two years ago, Daniel Goldston and his collaborators proved that there always exist primes that are very close together. With that success, Goldston hoped that their method would soon lead to a proof that there are infinitely often pairs of primes closer than some fixed bounded distance. Such a proof would be a giant step toward resolving the twin prime conjecture . Goldston comes to MathFest to discuss the methods that he and his colleagues used and to talk about why further progress towards a proof of the twin prime conjecture may be more difficult than he had originally thought. Goldston's lecture, Revenge of the Twin Prime Conjecture , will be given on Saturday, Aug. 4, at 8:30 a.m., as an MAA Invited Address. Currently a professor at San Jose State University, Goldston received his undergraduate and graduate education at the University of California, Berkeley.

Extractions: Introduction to twin primes and Brun's constant computation (Click here for a Postscript version of this page and here for a pdf version) It's a very old fact (Euclid 325-265 B.C., in Book IX of the Elements ) that the set of primes is infinite and a much more recent and famous result (by Jacques Hadamard (1865-1963) and Charles-Jean de la Vallee Poussin (1866-1962)) that the density of primes is ruled by the law where the prime counting function p (n) is the number of prime numbers less than a given integer n. This result proved in 1896 is the celebrated prime numbers theorem and was conjectured earlier, in 1792, by young Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855) and by Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752-1833) who studied the repartition of those numbers in published tables of primes. This approximation may be usefully replaced by the more accurate logarithmic integral Li(n): However among the deeply studied set of primes there is a famous and fascinating subset for which very little is known and has generated some famous conjectures: the twin primes (the term prime pairs was used before [ Definition 1 A couple of primes (p,q) are said to be twins if q=p+2. Except for the couple (2,3), this is clearly the smallest possible distance between two primes.

A New Error Analysis For Brun's Constant R. F. Arenstorf of Vanderbilt University published a proposed proof (26 May 2004) of the twinprimes conjecture. Arenstorf used analytic continuation, the complex http://www.trnicely.net/twins/twins4.html
Extractions: Current e-mail address Except for the addendum (not part of the submission for publication), the content of this document is essentially that of the journal article as published; it may contain minor revisions and corrections (such as updated URLs), and differ in format and detail. Enumeration of the twin primes, and the sum of their reciprocals, is extended to 3e15, yielding the count pi_2(3e15) = 3310517800844. A more accurate estimate is obtained for Brun's constant, Error analysis is presented to support the contention that this estimate produces a 95 % confidence interval for B_2. In addition, published values of the count pi(x) of primes, obtained previously by indirect means, are verified by direct count to x = 3e15.

Extractions: Wiki: Twin prime A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by two . Except for the pair (2, 3), this is the smallest possible difference between two primes. Some examples of twin prime pairs are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), (41, 43), ... (821, 823), etc. Sometimes the term twin prime is used for a pair of twin primes; an alternative name for this is prime twin The question of whether there exist infinitely many twin primes has been one of the great open questions in number theory for many years. This is the content of the twin prime conjecture , which states There are infinitely many primes p such that p + 2 is also prime. In 1849 de Polignac made the more general conjecture that for every natural number k , there are infinitely many prime pairs p and p ′ such that p p k . The case k = 1 is the twin prime conjecture. A stronger form of the twin prime conjecture, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, postulates a distribution law for twin primes akin to the prime number theorem In 1915, Viggo Brun showed that the sum of reciprocals of the twin primes was convergent. This famous result, called

Revenge Of The Twin Prime Conjecture Two years ago Pintz Yildirim and I proved that there always exist primes that are very close together very close meaning much closer than the average http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p206836_index.html
Extractions: Two years ago Pintz, Yildirim, and I proved that there always exist primes that are very close together - very close meaning much closer than the average distance between neighboring primes. Our method also proves that if the primes are well distributed in arithmetic progressions then one can obtain results not too far from the twin prime conjecture. For example, if the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture is true then there are infinitely many pairs of primes with difference 16 or less. With these successes I was hopeful that before too long our method could be pushed to unconditionally show that there are infinitely often pairs of primes closer than some fixed bounded distance, i. e. bounded gaps, a giant step towards the twin prime conjecture. In this talk I will discuss the method and why perhaps further progress towards bounded gaps and the twin prime conjecture is going to be difficult, although I will be delighted to be proved wrong.

Twin Prime Conjecture Articles And Information Such information pair consistent with prime numbers example called information twin prime. The conjecture has been researched by many number theorists. http://neohumanism.org/t/tw/twin_prime_conjecture_1.html
Extractions: Current Article The twin prime conjecture is a famous unsolved problem in number theory that involves prime numbers . It states: There are an infinite number of primes p such that p + 2 is also prime. Such a pair of prime numbers is called a twin prime . The conjecture has been researched by many number theorists. The majority of mathematicians believe that the conjecture is true, based on numerical evidence and heuristic reasoning involving the probabilistic distribution of primes. In de Polignac made the more general conjecture that for every natural number k , there are infinitely many prime pairs which have a distance of 2 k . The case k =1 is the twin prime conjecture. In showed that there is a constant c p p c ln p ), where p ' denotes the next prime after p . This result was successively improved; in Maier showed that a constant c < 0.25 can be used. In , Jing-run Chen showed that there are infinitely many primes p such that p +2 is a product of at most two prime factors. The approach he took involved a topic called Sieve theory, and he managed to treat the Twin Prime Conjecture and

This question was first posed by Euclid in ancient Greece. This question is still open. Euler proved that if N is an odd perfect number, then in the prime power decomposition of N , exactly one exponent is congruent to 1 mod 4 and all the other exponents are even. Furthermore, the prime occurring to an odd power must itself be congruent to 1 mod 4. A sketch of the proof appears in Exercise 87, page 203 of Underwood Dudley's Elementary Number Theory. It has been shown that there are no odd perfect numbers Take any natural number
