By Yitang Zhang. Abstract. It is proved that lim inf (pn+1 pn) < 7 107; n!1. where pn is the n-th prime. Our method is a re nement of the recent work of Goldston, Pintz and Y ld r m on the small gaps between consecutive primes.
Feb 1, 2015 · Yitang Zhang bided his time teaching calculus. Then he solved a hundred-and-fifty-year-old math problem. Alec Wilkinson reports.
Feb 12, 2014 · Yitang Zhang: A prime-number proof and a world of persistence. An exciting breakthrough by an academic little known before last year is firing up mathematicians. Now even...
Sep 10, 2021 · Summary. How Yitang Zhang arrived at his breakthrough result showing bounded gaps between primes unconditionally is retold in part in this chapter. GPY (Chapter 4) showed that any advance of the parameter in EH beyond one half was sufficient.
Apr 2, 2015 · Introduction. As a boy in Shanghai, China, Yitang Zhang believed he would someday solve a great problem in mathematics. In 1964, at around the age of nine, he found a proof of the Pythagorean theorem, which describes the relationship between the lengths of the sides of any right triangle. He was 10 when he first learned about two famous number ...
