Below are just a few of the many conjectures concerning primes.
Goldbach's Conjecture: Every even n
Goldbach wrote a letter to Euler in 1742 suggesting that . Euler replied that this is equivalent to this is now know as Goldbach's conjecture. Schnizel showed that Goldbach's conjecture is equivalent to distinct primes
It has been proven that every even integer is the sum of at most six primes [ ] (Goldbach's conjecture suggests two) and in 1966 Chen proved every sufficiently large even integers is the sum of a prime plus a number with no more than two prime factors (a P ). In 1993 Sinisalo verified Goldbach's conjecture for all integers less than 4 ]. More recently Jean-Marc Deshouillers, Yannick Saouter and Herman te Riele have verified this up to 10 with the help, of a Cray C90 and various workstations. In July 1998, Joerg Richstein completed a verification to 4

    In the last few years there has been a surge in research activity dedicated towards obtaining further explicit evidence for Stark's Conjecture, and in formulating and investigating natural variants, refinements or generalizations thereof. By bringing together the leading exponents of these different strands of research this conference aims to improve understanding of the links between them. In addition, the conference program will include a series of survey talks aimed at making accessible to as wide an audience as possible the main aspects of recent research into Stark's Conjecture. At this time, confirmed main speakers include.

    5. Some Open Problems
    Open problems and conjectures concerning the determination of properties of families of graphs.
    http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~qstout/constantques.html
    Some Open Problems and Conjectures
    These problems and conjectures concern the determination of properties of families of graphs. For example, one property of a graph is its domination number. For a graph G , a set S of vertices is a dominating set if every vertex of G is in S or adjacent to a member of S . The domination number of G is the minimum size of a dominating set of G . Determining the domination number of a graph is an NP-complete problem, but can often be done for many graphs encountered in practice. One topic of some interest has been to determine the dominating numbers of grid graphs (meshes), which are just graphs of the form P(n) x P(m) , where P(n) is the path of n vertices. Marilynn Livingston and I showed that for any graph G , the domination number of the family G x P(n) has a closed formula (as a function of n ), which can be found computationally. This appears in M.L. Livingston and Q.F. Stout, ``Constant time computation of minimum dominating sets'', Congresses Numerantium (1994), pp. 116-128.

    Conjectures in Geometry
    An educational web site created for high school geometry students
    by
    Jodi Crane, Linda Stevens, and Dave Wiggins
    Introduction:
    This site constitutes our final project for Math 5337-Computational Methods in Elementary Geometry , taken at the University of Minnesota's Geometry Center during Winter of 1996. This course could be entitled "Technology in the Geometry Classroom" as one of its more important objectives is to provide students (presumably math educators) with a wide variety of activities (demonstrations and assignments) utilizing computer software that could be incorporated into a high school geometry classroom. This page has been designed to provide an interactive technological resource for students studying elementary high school geometry. Basic concepts, conjectures, and theorems found in typical geometry texts are introduced, explained, and investigated. Follow-up activities are provided to further demonstrate meanings and applications of concepts. The objective is to ensure that students develop a firm understanding of both the content and applications of each main idea given below in the list of conjectures. Working towards this objective, we have included:

    http://www.geom.umn.edu/~dwiggins/conj22.html
    Parallelogram Conjectures
    Explanation:
    A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. If we extend the sides of the parallelogram in both directions, we now have two parallel lines cut by two parallel transversals. The parallel line conjectures will help us to understand that the opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal in measure. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal corresponding angles are equal in measure. Also, the vertical angles are equal in measure. Now we need to extend our knowledge to two parallel lines cut by two parallel transversals. We have new pairs of corresponding angles What can be said about the adjacent angles of a parallelogram. Again the parallel line conjectures and linear pairs conjecture can help us. The measures of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram add up to be 180 degrees, or they are supplementary.
    The precise statement of the conjectures are:
    Conjecture ( Parallelogram Conjecture I Opposite angles in a parallelogram are congruent. Conjecture ( Parallelogram Conjecture II Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary.

    1. Early History
    Many early writers felt that the numbers of the form 2 n -1 were prime for all primes n , but in 1536 Hudalricus Regius showed that 2 -1 = 2047 was not prime (it is 23 89). By 1603 Pietro Cataldi had correctly verified that 2 -1 and 2 -1 were both prime, but then incorrectly stated 2 n -1 was also prime for 23, 29, 31 and 37. In 1640 Fermat showed Cataldi was wrong about 23 and 37; then Euler in 1738 showed Cataldi was also wrong about 29. Sometime later Euler showed Cataldi's assertion about 31 was correct. Enter French monk Marin Mersenne (1588-1648). Mersenne stated in the preface to his Cogitata Physica-Mathematica (1644) that the numbers 2 n -1 were prime for n 31, 67, 127 and 257

    Investigating Lost Time Hermann Wolf Conjectures about the Paintings of Andreas Jauss 1997 - 1998 For the benefit of understanding, first an explanation of the desire d presentation by the artist is necessary. Why are the physical measurements of each work the same? Why are the works mounted, or displayed at public showings, the way that they are? Is the selection or the choice of the shown paintings really exchangeable as it looks? Each painting to be hung for exhibition has the same width and height measurements, and because of this uniformity, the artist is able to accumulate and to hang paintings so that they appear as one "block". The artist is able to cover an entire exhibition space with his paintings ensuring the same space distance between the pieces. Various genres of pictures are included within a block and the variety has significance. Cityscapes are mingled with i nterior views of rooms; close-up resemblances to early film stills are mixed with motifs often drawn from various newsmagazines; depictions of travel destinations share sp

    Conjectures and myths
    An unpopular truth
    It is indeed astounding to see how far some can stretch their imaginations to find "evidence" of white racism. Consider the example of Dr. Ernest Johnson, a psychologist who concludes, from his study of 1,000 Florida tenth-graders, that black teens tend to be angrier than their white peers. Theorizing that this black anger is bred by white America's many racists, Dr. Johnson does not even speculate as to whether it may result, at least in part, from the constant threat of black predators terrorizing their own neighborhoods. Nor does he trace it, even in part, to the fact that scarcely 35 percent of black youngsters currently live in two-parent homes. But if, as Dr. Saunders claims, black hypertension rates implicate white racism, how then are we to interpret suicide rates? By Saunders' logic, the comparative suicide rates of blacks and whites should reveal important information about the relative degrees of stress afflicting members of each race. A disproportionately high incidence of suicide among blacks, for example, would surely be hailed by "civil rights" messiahs as evidence that racism was casting its deadly shadow over the souls of black Americans.
