Rassias' conjecture
In number theory, Rassias' conjecture (named after Michael Th. Rassias) is an open problem related to prime numbers. It was conceived by M. Th. Rassias at a very young age, while preparing for the International Mathematical Olympiad (see ).
The conjecture states the following:
For every prime number p>2 there exist two prime numbers p_1, p_2, with p_1 such that
:p=\frac
This conjecture has a surprising feature of expressing a prime number as a quotient (see 〔).
== Relation to other open problems ==
Rassias' conjecture, can be stated equivalently as follows:
For any prime number p>2 there exist two prime numbers
p_1, p_2 with p_1 such that
:(p-1)p_1=p_2+1,
namely the numbers (p-1)p_1 and p_2 are consecutive.
By this reformulation, we see an interesting combination of a generalized Sophie Germain twin problem
:p_2=2ap_1-1,
strengthened by the additional condition that 2a+1 be a prime number too (see 〔〔). We have seen that such questions are caught
by the Hardy–Littlewood conjecture. One may ask if Rassias' conjecture is to some extent simpler than the general Hardy–Littlewood conjecture or its special case concerning distribution of generalized Sophie-Germain pairs p, 2ap+1\in\mathbb, where \mathbb denotes the
set of prime numbers.
Probably the most general conjecture on distribution of prime constellations is Schinzel's hypothesis H:
''Consider s polynomials f_(x) \in \mathbb(),\ i = 1, 2, \ldots, s with positive leading coefficients and such that the product F(X) = \prod_^ f_(x) is not divisible, as a polynomial, by any integer different from ±1. Then there is at least one integer x for which all the polynomials f_(x) take prime values.''
Rassias' conjecture follows from the well-known Schinzel's hypothesis H for s = 2 with f_(x) = x and
f_(x) = 2ax-1. Note that Schinzel's hypothesis H appeared much earlier than Rassias' conjecture which is its special case. The reader is referred to the foreword of Preda Mihăilescu〔 for a presentation of interconnections of Rassias' conjecture with other known conjectures and open problems in Number Theory. Further, another relevant open problem is related to Cunningham chains, i.e. sequences of primes
:p_=mp_i+n,\ i=1,2,\ldots, k-1,
for fixed coprime positive integers m,n>1.
There are computing competitions for the longest Cunningham chain or for the one built up of the largest primes – but unlike the breakthrough of Ben J. Green and Terence Tao, there is no general result known on large Cunningham chains to date. Rassias' conjecture can be also stated in terms of Cunningham chains, namely that there exist Cunningham chains with parameters 2a, -1 for a such that 2a-1=p is a prime number (see 〔〔).
