    Statements

    For any ϵ>0, there exists a constant C_ϵ such that for any three relatively prime integers a, b, c satisfying a + b = c, the inequality max( left bracketing bar a right bracketing bar , left bracketing bar b right bracketing bar , left bracketing bar c right bracketing bar )<=C_ϵ product_(p|abc)p^(1 + ϵ) holds.

    Andrica's conjecture posits that for p_n the nth prime number, sqrt(p_(n + 1)) - sqrt(p_n)<1.

    Barnette's conjecture posits that every 3-connected bipartite cubic planar graph is Hamiltonian.

    Beal's conjecture posits that if a^x + b^y = c^z, where a, b, c, x, y, and z are any positive integers with x, y, z>2, then a, b, and c have a common factor.

    de Polignac's conjecture posits that every even number is the difference of two consecutive primes in infinitely many ways.

    Defining q_n as the nth prime such that M_(q_n) is a Mersenne prime, then Eberhart's conjecture posits that q_n~(3/2)^n.

    The Erdős-Turán conjecture states that if the sum of reciprocals of a set of integers diverges, then that set contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.

    Fuglede's conjecture posits that a domain Ω admits an operator spectrum iff it is possible to tile R^d by a family of translates of Ω.

    The strong Goldbach conjecture posits that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two primes.

    The Hodge conjecture posits that for particularly nice types of spaces called projective algebraic varieties, the pieces called Hodge cycles are actually rational linear combinations of geometric pieces called algebraic cycles.
