Polignac's Conjecture
Conjecture Polignac's Conjecture: For any positive even number n, there are infinitely many prime gaps of size n. In other words: There are infinitely...
Birch & Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
Conjecture Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$. Then the order of the zeros of its $L$-function, $L(E, s)$, at $s = 1$ is the Morde...
The Erdos-Turan conjecture on additive bases
Let $B \subseteq {\mathbb N}$. The representation function $r_B: {\mathbb N} \rightarrow {\mathbb N}$ for $B$ is given by the rule $r_B(k) = \#\{ (i,j...

Schanuel's Conjecture
Conjecture Given any $n$ complex numbers $z_1,...,z_n$ which are linearly independent over the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$, then the extension field...
Lindelöf hypothesis
Conjecture For any $\epsilon>0$ $$\zeta\left(\frac12 + it\right) \mbox{ is }\mathcal{O}(t^\epsilon).$$ Since $\epsilon$ can be replaced by a smaller ...
Are there infinite number of Mersenne Primes?
Conjecture A Mersenne prime is a Mersenne number $$ M_n = 2^p - 1 $$ that is prime. Are there infinite number of Mersenne Primes?...
The 3n+1 conjecture
Conjecture Let $f(n) = 3n+1$ if $n$ is odd and $\frac{n}{2}$ if $n$ is even. Let $f(1) = 1$. Assume we start with some number $n$ and repeatedly take ...
