Proof of the Twin Primes Conjecture Provides Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture Theorem There are infinitely many twin primes. Proof of the Twin Primes Conjecture Using Proofs of Goldbach's Conjecture or Using the Prime Number Theorem The twin primes conjecture (TPC) suggests that there is an infinite number of primes a and b with a difference , i.e., a - b = 2. Goldbach's conjecture (GC) suggests that every even number greater than is the sum s of two prime numbers a and b , i.e., a + b = s where s is even GC is proved by the author herein below and elsewhere For prime numbers a,b,c a - b = (a + c) - (b + c) even integer and thus, generally, a - b = 2k k = integer and since a + b is an even number a + b = 2n Now, using (2) and (3) results in a = n + k and b = n - k which say that for every single value of k primes a and b are separated by an interval and occur as numbers n + k and n - k .

Major Advance On The Twin Primes Conjecture The twin prime conjecture says that there are infinitely many socalled twin-primepairs, that is, pairs of primes of the form p and p + 2 (such as 3 and 5 http://www.maa.org/news/052505twinprimes.html
Extractions: Search MAA Online MAA Home By Keith Devlin One way to approach this problem is to look at the gaps between successive primes. For example, if p(1), p(2), p(3), ... denotes the sequence of all primes, are there infinitely many values of n for which p(n+1) - p(n) is less than 10, say, or less than 10 ? If you can find a gap for which there are infinitely many pairs of successive primes that differ by no more than that gap, maybe you can start to bring the gap down. If you get the gap down to 2, you will have solved the twin prime conjecture. A variation of this more general question is to forget the idea of looking for a fixed gap, and instead compare the gaps between pairs of successive primes with the average size of p(n+1) - p(n), which the prime number theorem tells us is asymptotically equal to log p(n). This comes down to looking at the number D = lim inf It was back to the drawing board, as Goldston and Yildrim sought a different approach. Finally, in December of last year, working with Janos Pintz of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, their joint efforts seemed to have paid off. They found a new proof that worked. Mindful of the events of two years previously, they sent their new proof to various experts, including Granville. Only when the word came back that the new proof was correct did they "go public", publishing an abstract on the arXiv website . (Reference number math.NT/0505300.) Goldston lectured on the new proof at a meeting in New York last week and formally announced the proof in a lecture at the American Institute of Mathematics research center in Palo Alto.

Extractions: The Anti-Divisor [Home] Anti-divisor theory can be used to generate the prime numbers. The theory goes like this: A number is prime iff cad[k,k+1]=0 (cad represents Common Anti-Divisors). This can be seen from the derivation of anti-divisors from 2n-1, 2n and 2n+1. So, if a number y can be written as y-a=(2a+1)b, then it follows that y+1 shares a CAD with y (e.g. 22 is 3.7+1, so 23 is 3.7+2, and both cad[22,23] contains 3. Or, 17=3.5+2, 18=3.5+3, so cad[17,18] contains 5.) A number therefore is prime iff it is not expressible as (2ab+a+b)+(2ab+a+b+1). This is fairly obvious, this equals 4ab+2a+2b+1, which equals (2a+1)(2b+1), and so represents the set of all odd composites. An odd number not in the composites is prime. And so, if a number y is not generated in an exhaustive mapping of 2ab+a+b, then 2y+1 is prime. Here is the program: Click [here] for the output: Twin Primes This can also be used to derive the twin primes, and also offers insight to prove that there are an infinite number of twin primes. An number x with only even anti-divisors forms a twin prime pair (2x-1,2x+1). This is obvious from the fact that both 2x-1 and 2x+1 must be prime, otherwise the number would contain an odd anti-divisor.

Extractions: Main Operation Bagration Posted by John Quiggin According to this report It is also, I think, the last of the big and well-known unsolved problems in mathematics, and it would be nice to see the search ending in success. Some of the other big problems have been closed, rather than solved. The classic problems of the Greeks such as squaring the circle were shown to be insoluble in the 19th century, and the Hilbert program of formalisation was shown by Godel to be infeasible. And the four-colour problem (not a really important problem, but a big one because it was easily described, interesting and very tough) was dealt with by a brute-force computer enumeration.
