For every natural number m>2⋅1018m > 2\cdot 10^{18}m>2⋅1018 there exists t≤m−2t \le m - 2t≤m−2 such that both m−tm - tm−t and m+tm + tm+t are prime.

This is the symmetric form of the even Goldbach conjecture: writing 2m=(m−t)+(m+t)2m = (m - t) + (m + t)2m=(m−t)+(m+t) shows that it is exactly equivalent to the claim that every even n>4⋅1018n > 4\cdot 10^{18}n>4⋅1018 is a sum of two primes. It is the formulation targeted by symmetric-window approaches to the conjecture.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
