Nov 11, 2022 · The mathematician who solved the twin-prime conjecture in 2013 says he has proved a weaker version of the Landau–Siegel zeros conjecture, which is similar to the Riemann hypothesis. His preprint has not been validated by his peers and faces scepticism and challenges.
Learn how Yitang Zhang, an adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire, solved a long-standing problem on bounded gaps between primes. Discover his background, his inspiration, his challenges, and his current work at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Abstract. It is proved that $$ \liminf_ {n\to\infty} (p_ {n+1}-p_n)<7\times 10^7, $$ where $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime. Our method is a refinement of the recent work of Goldston, Pintz and Yıldırım on the small gaps between consecutive primes.
