The problem
Claim: infinitely many primes \(p\) such that \(p+2\) is also prime.
Claim: infinitely many primes \(p\) such that \(p+2\) is also prime.
Polignac (1849) conjectured infinitely many prime pairs at every even gap. The breakthrough era arrived in 2013: Yitang Zhang proved infinitely many pairs within 70,000,000; the Polymath8 project and James Maynard drove the bound to 246, where it stands. Sieve methods seem to stall short of gap 2; a genuine new idea is missing.
