Twin Prime - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia most number theorists believe this to be true. This is the contentof the twin Prime conjecture. A strong form of the twin Prime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_prime
Extractions: 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 5 and 7, 11 and 13, and 821 and 823. (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. On May 26, 2004, however, Richard Arenstorf of Vanderbilt University submitted a 38-page proof that there exist, in fact, infinitely many twin primes. This is the content of the Twin Prime Conjecture . A strong form of the Twin Prime Conjecture, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture , postulates a distribution law for twin primes akin to the prime number theorem , Arenstorf's proof also holds true for this conjecture. . This result implies that the sum of the reciprocals of all twin primes converges (see Brun's constant ). This is in stark contrast to the sum of the reciprocals of all primes, which diverges. He also shows that every even number can be represented in infinitely many ways as a difference of two numbers both having at most 9 prime factors. Chen Jing Run's well known theorem states that for any m even, there are infinitely many primes that differs by m from a number having at most two prime factors. (Before Brun attacked to the twin prime problem, Merlin had also attempted to solve this problem using sieve method. But unfortunately he was killed in WWI)

Extractions: Each one a prime A pair of mathematicians has made a breakthrough in understanding so-called prime numbers, numbers that can only be divided by themselves and one. Other mathematicians have described the advance as the most important in the field in decades. It was made by Dan Goldston, of San Jose State University, and Cem Yildirim, of Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. It has just been announced at a conference in Germany on Algorithmic Number Theory. The advance is related to an idea called the twin prime conjecture. This idea, still unproved, is that there are an infinite number of pairs of prime numbers that differ only by two. Number building "Neither of us ever expected to get particularly good results by this method. It's actually completely amazing to me," says Goldston. Commenting on the breakthrough, Hugh Montgomery, a mathematician at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, US, says that Goldston has really broken a barrier.

Extractions: Week of June 2, 2001; Vol. 159, No. 22 Ivars Peterson Number theory offers a host of problems that are remarkably easy to state but fiendishly difficult to solve. Many of these questions and conjectures feature prime numbersintegers evenly divisible only by themselves and 1. For instance, primes often occur as pairs of consecutive odd integers: 3 and 5, 5 and 7, 11 and 13, 17 and 19, and so on. So-called twin primes are scattered throughout the list of all prime numbers. There are 16 twin prime pairs among the first 50 primes. The largest known twin prime is the 32,220-digit pair 318032361 x 2 +/1, found recently by David Underbakke and Phil Carmody. Although most mathematicians believe that there are infinitely many twin primes, no one has yet proved this conjecture to be true. Indeed, the twin prime conjecture is considered one of the major unsolved problems in number theory. It was even mentioned in the 1996 movie A Mirror Has Two Faces , which starred Barbra Streisand.

Extractions: Examples: 3 and 5 5 and 7 11 and 13 17 and 19 29 and 31 41 and 43 59 and 61 Until recently, it had been conjectured that there are infinitely many twin primes. If the probability of a random integer n and the integer n+2 being prime were statistically independent events, then it would follow from the prime number theorem that there are about n/(log n) twin primes less than or equal to n. These probabilities are not independent. A famous team of British mathematicians - hmm, another pair so to speak, Hardy and Littlewood, conjectured that the correct estimate should be the following: But conjecture is not a proof. Recently, in March 2003, a new team of mathematicians - Dan Goldston of San Jose State University in California and Cem Yalcin Yildirim of Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey - announced they had at least made progress in proving the suspicion that pairs of primes keep going off to infinity.

He is interested in diverse areas of mathematics like combinatorics, elementary and analytic number theory, functional analysis, combinatorial topology and statistics. The famous twin prime conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many pairs of primes differing by 2. More generally, it is conjectured that for any even number $h$, there are infinitely many pairs of primes differing by h. (This is obviously false for odd h.) Indeed, in a famous paper, G H Hardy and J E Littlewood made the following (much stronger) conjecture.

Extractions: Double the thrills "Twin Primes" at Stage 3 "Lead us not into temptation" says the prayer. Sometimes temptation is too great. But heed a word of warning: Before you take another step, you better check your math. Stage 3 is one of those courageous theater companies willing to take a risk on bringing exciting new works to the stage. In this case the gamble pays off in the form of Alex Lewin's captivating intellectual thriller, "Twin Primes". Winner of the 2003 Festival of New Plays, "Twin Primes" is a psychological spine-tingler in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, taut, gripping storytelling full of surprises and a dash of humor. Brilliant mathematician Linda Ruether has spent her life trying to unlock the age-old mathematical mystery of the Twin Prime Conjecture. She has sacrificed everything but this tantalizing dream has remained just out of reach. When an eighteen-year-old genius stumbles upon the solution, she can't resist the temptation to gain her own intellectual immortality, whatever the cost. She might just succeed. She might be able to join the pantheon of giants. Or is there something that she has overlooked? Something that was before our very eyes the entire time. Can ambition blind us to the obvious? Maybe. Maybe not. We never know until the final few seconds.
