2 unusual facts about Lemoine's conjecture


Lemoine's conjecture

In number theory, Lemoine's conjecture, named after Émile Lemoine, also known as Levy's conjecture, after Hyman Levy, states that all odd integers greater than 5 can be represented as the sum of an odd prime number and an even semiprime.

The conjecture was posed by Émile Lemoine in 1895, but in more recent years came to be attributed to Hyman Levy who pondered it in the 1960s.


Antoine Marcel Lemoine

Lemoine, however, was fully aware of the superiority of the later works of this rising generation of guitar virtuosi and he was among the first to issue the compositions of Ferdinando Carulli, Fernando Sor, Luigi Sagrini, Dionisio Aguado, Mauro Giuliani, Joseph Küffner and Luigi Castellacci.

"Sixty Million Trillion Combinations" (Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, 5 May 1980) – A paranoid mathematician who suspects that his work on Goldbach's conjecture has been stolen.

Beal's conjecture

Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google, reported having conducted a series of numerical searches for counterexamples to Beal's conjecture.

Charles François Lhomond

Later he spent twenty years as an educator at the Collège du Cardinal-Lemoine in the Latin Quarter of Paris, and afterwards was professor emeritus at the University of Paris.

Christian Goldbach

Goldbach is most noted for his correspondence with Leibniz, Euler, and Bernoulli, especially in his 1742 letter to Euler stating his Goldbach's conjecture.

Constructive proof

One weak counterexample begins by taking some unsolved problem of mathematics, such as Goldbach's conjecture.

Firoozbakht’s conjecture

The conjecture is named after Farideh Firoozbakht, from the University of Isfahan, who stated it in 1982.

Goldbach's conjecture

This result was subsequently enhanced by many authors; currently, the best known result is due to Olivier Ramaré, who in 1995 showed that every even number n  ≥ 4 is in fact the sum of at most six primes.

Jack Silver

Silver proved the consistency of Chang's conjecture using the Silver collapse (which is a variation of the Levy collapse).

Jacques-Antoine-Marie Lemoine

Germaine Greer points out that because Marie-Victoire Lemoine sometimes signed her works "Lemoine," the works of the two artists may sometimes be misattributed.

Jean Lemoine

Jean Lemoine, Johannes Monachus (born 1250 at Crécy-en-Ponthieu, died 22 August 1313 at Avignon) was a French canon lawyer, Cardinal, bishop of Arras and papal legate.

Kato's conjecture

The problem remained unresolved for nearly a half-century, until it was jointly solved in 2001 by Pascal Auscher, Steve Hofmann, Michael Lacey, Alan McIntosh, and Philippe Tchamitchian.

Ke Zhao

Some of his major contributions included his work on quadratic forms, the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem and his breakthrough on Catalan's conjecture.

Koreatown, Fort Lee

Interstate 95, U.S. Route 46, and New Jersey Route 4 all provide access to Main Street and Lemoine Avenue; New Jersey Route 63 and County Route 501 connect Fort Lee Koreatown to Palisades Park Koreatown; while Interstate 80, the New Jersey Turnpike, and U.S. Route 1/9 also serve the vicinity.

Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth is a graphic novel about the foundational quest in mathematics, written by Apostolos Doxiadis, author of Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture, and theoretical computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou of the University of California, Berkeley.

Modal logic

From the other direction, Jones might say, (3) "It is possible that Goldbach's conjecture is true; but also possible that it is false", and also (4) "if it is true, then it is necessarily true, and not possibly false".

Olivier Ramaré

This result may be compared with Goldbach's conjecture, which states that every even number except 2 is the sum of two primes.

Pascal Auscher

Specializing in harmonic analysis and operator theory, he is mostly known for, together with Steve Hofmann, Michael Lacey, Alan McIntosh and Philippe Tchamitchian, solving the famous Kato's conjecture.

Paul Wolfskehl

Phosphorus sesquisulfide

The compound was discovered by G. Lemoine and first produced safely in commercial quantities in 1898 by Albright and Wilson.

Rajagopalan Parthasarathy

His work on the resolution of the Blattner's conjecture and the question of unitarisability of certain highest weight modules are significant contributions to this area in mathematics.

Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet

He contributed a number of papers in mathematics to the Royal Society, including one on what is now known as the Pollock's conjecture.

Transcendence theory

Stephen Schanuel conjectured that the answer is n, but no proof is known.

U.S. Route 9W

US 9W exits the right-of-way, turning north onto Lemoine Avenue, later Sylvan Avenue, in Englewood Cliffs, where it passes the headquarters of Ferrari of North America, Unilever, and CNBC.
