    Grimm's Conjecture: Origin & Sources

    Can someone tell me when Grimm's conjecture (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GrimmsConjecture.html) was formulated? I can't find any sources on that, and I don't have Guy's book.

    Is the Berry Operator the Key to Solving the Zeta Function?

    Is "Berry Operator"... H=-i\hbar(x\frac{d}{dx}+1/2) the operator which give all the solutions of \zeta(1/2+iE_{n})=0 ?..it seems too easy to be true...:eek: :eek:

    Euler product and Goldbach conjecture

    In an anlaogy with the Euler product of the Riemann function we make: \prod_{p}(1+e^{-sp})=f(s) of course we have that: f(p1+p2+p3)=f(p1)f(p2)f(p3) f(x)=exp(-ax) if Goldbach Conjecture is true then p1+p2= even and p5+p6+p8=Odd for integer n>5? then this product should be equal to...

    Triangular Number Conjecture: Recursive Series

    I have a new conjecture re triangular numbers that I think is fascinating. Conjecture For any two integers a and b such that ab is a triangular number, then there is an integer c such that a^2 + ac and b^2 + bc are both triangular numbers. Further, (6b-a+2c)*b and (6b-a+2c)*(6b-a+3c)...

    HIlbert-Polya conjecture ¿proof or RH?

    My question is...could the Hilbert-Polya conjecture if true prove RH (Riemann Hypothesis) i mean let,s suppose we find an operator ( i found a Hamiltonian with a real potential that gave all the roots of \zeta(1/2+is) ) in the form: R=1/2+iH with H self-adjoint so all the "eigenvalues"...

    A conjecture about the roots of real functions

    All the roots of a real function f(x) are real unless. 1.K(x) is a Polynomial of degree k 2.f(x)=exp(g(x)) where g(x) is different from ln of something 3.f(z) with z=u+iv is invariant under the transformation of v=-v with f(u+iv)=F(u-iv).. 4.the function f includes some of the functions...

    Exploring Twin Primes Conjecture

    Bear with me. I'm new to forum and don't yet know all protocol. My question concerns twin primes. The previous thread on this topic seems to be closed. My question is this: When considering the Twin Primes Conjecture, has anyone researched the idea that (heuristically speaking) there is...

    Are Riemann hypothesis and Goldbach conjecture related?

    this is a question i have i mean are RH and Goldbach conjecture related? i mean in the sense that proving RH would imply Goldbach conjecture and viceversa: RIemann hypothesis: (RH) \zeta(s)=0 then s=1/2+it Goldbach conjecture,let be n a positive integer then: 2n=p1+p2 ...

    Extension of Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture to four dimensions?

    Hello all, I was wondering whether there might be anything similar to Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture, except for four manifolds instead of three manifolds. (Essentially, this conjecture (iiuc) states that it is always possible to take an arbitrary 3-manifold and break it up into...

    The Existence of The Book: Paul Erdos's Conjecture

    According to this paper, http://arxiv.org/abs/math.GM/0108201 Paul Erdos (of Erdos number fame) conjectured the existence of The Book, a book that contains all the smallest proofs of mathematics arranged in lexical order. What are your thoughts on it, do you believe in the existence of such book?

    Exploring the Prime Factorial Conjecture

    Here is a tentative conjecture that needs to be tested. [P! + P]/P^2 = INTEGER if and only if P is a prime number P! is P factorial, e.g. 3*2*1 , 5*4*3*2*1 , 7*6*5*4*3*2*1, etc...

    Has the Poincare Conjecture Finally Been Solved?

    Mathematicians are now saying that Grigory Perelman has really solved the conjecture and the proof will be in a paper he will post in the near future. His previous papers on this subject are in the arxiv specal topic Differential Geometry (under mathematics). Keep your eyes on this space!

    Is the Aleph0-1 Conjecture Correct?

    A Conjecture : can anyone find a counter-example or otherwise disprove ?

    Hi, I have a conjecture and I am not sure whether it is true. I can't construct a counter example but perhaps someone more mathemetically resourceful than myself can do so (or perhaps even offer a direct proof or disproof). Here's the conjecture. Let X_n = r_1 \, r_2 \, r_3 \, ... \, r_n...

    Difficulty with the Erdos-Straus Conjecture

    The Erdos-Straus Conjecture proposes that: For n >= 1, 4/n = 1/a + 1/b + 1/c, has postive integer solutions. n = 2k (evens) n = 4k+3 (odds) n = 4k+1 (odds) For 2k I have found the pattern --> if k >= 1, 4/2k = 1/2k + 1/2k + 1/k. This is simple, I know. I am having difficulty...

    The Marcus Conjecture: Exploring the Relationship Between CMB & Dark Energy
