Erdős-Hajnal Conjecture
Does every graph family defined by a forbidden induced subgraph have polynomial-sized cliques or independent sets?
The Erdős-Hajnal conjecture states that for any graph H, there exists ε > 0 such that every H-free graph on n vertices contains a clique or independent set of size at least n^ε. This would be a dramatic strengthening of Ramsey theory, which only guarantees log-size structures. Proven for many specific H, but the genera...

Linear Arboricity Conjecture
Can every graph with maximum degree Δ be decomposed into at most ⌈(Δ+1)/2⌉ linear forests?
A linear forest is a disjoint union of paths. The linear arboricity conjecture states that graphs decompose into roughly Δ/2 linear forests. This would provide tight bounds on a natural graph decomposition parameter. Proven for many graph classes (planar graphs, graphs with large girth), but the general case remains op...

Oberwolfach Problem
For which 2-regular graphs H can the complete graph be decomposed into edge-disjoint copies of H?
The Oberwolfach problem asks: given a 2-regular graph H (disjoint union of cycles), can K_n be decomposed into copies of H? This generalizes cycle decompositions and connects to the famous Oberwolfach conferences. Solutions are known for many cases (like single cycles), but a complete characterization remains open. Thi...

Crown graphs are a specific family of bipartite graphs with a symmetric structure. The conjecture suggests they are extremal for word-representation length among bipartite graphs. This would identify which bipartite graphs are hardest to encode as words, with implications for the complexity of word-representation. <!-...

Line Graphs of Non-Word-Representable Graphs
Is the line graph of a non-word-representable graph always non-word-representable?
The line graph operation transforms a graph into one where edges become vertices. The question asks whether word-non-representability is preserved under this operation. A positive answer would show that line graphs amplify the complexity of word-representation, while a counterexample would reveal subtle structural prop...

Farrell-Jones Conjecture
Are the assembly maps in algebraic K-theory and L-theory isomorphisms?
The Farrell-Jones conjecture predicts that certain assembly maps are isomorphisms for all groups. This would have major consequences for the computation of algebraic K-theory and L-theory groups. The conjecture has been verified for many important classes of groups including hyperbolic groups and arithmetic groups. <!...

Finite Lattice Representation Problem
Is every finite lattice isomorphic to the congruence lattice of some finite algebra?
The finite lattice representation problem asks whether every finite lattice can be realized as the congruence lattice of a finite algebra. While every finite lattice is the congruence lattice of some algebra, requiring finiteness of the algebra is much more restrictive. This is a central problem in universal algebra. ...

Are Berge knots the only knots in S³ admitting lens space surgeries?
The Berge conjecture states that Berge knots (constructed via a specific procedure) are the only knots in the 3-sphere that admit Dehn surgeries yielding lens spaces. This would classify all such knots, providing deep insight into the relationship between knot theory and 3-manifold topology. <!-- LITERATURE-TRIAGE:BEG...

Erdős-Rieger heuristics suggest infinity, but proof remains elusive. <!-- LITERATURE-TRIAGE:BEGIN --> ## Literature review (checked 2026-08-17) **Status:** open **C...

Pi Normality
Is π a normal number (all digits equally frequent in all bases)?
A normal number has each digit appearing with equal asymptotic frequency in every base. While π appears statistically normal (verified to trillions of digits), no proof exists.

The first Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, also known as the prime k-tuples conjecture, generalizes the twin prime conjecture. It states that the asymptotic frequency of any admissible prime constellation can be computed explicitly. The case $k=2$ with $(a_1, a_2) = (0, 2)$ is the twin prime conjecture.

The Prime Number Race
Let $\pi(n; a, b)$ be the number of primes $p \le n$ with $p \equiv a \pmod b$. For every $a$ and $b$ with $a \perp b$, are there infinitely many values of $n$ for which $\pi(n; a, b) > \pi(n; a_1, b)$ for every $a_1 \not\equiv a \pmod b$?
Turán was particularly interested in the prime number race. Knapowski & Turán settled special cases, but the general problem is wide open. Chebyshev noted that $\pi(n; 1, 3) < \pi(n; 2, 3)$ for small values of $n$, but this inequality is reversed for very large $n$. From Richard Guy's "Unsolved Problems in Number Theor...

Erdős $3000 Conjecture on Arithmetic Progressions
Let $\{a_i\}$ be any infinite sequence of integers for which $\sum 1/a_i$ is divergent. Does the sequence contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions?
Erdős offered $3000.00 for a proof or disproof of this conjecture. This is a generalization of the arithmetic progressions of primes problem.

Consecutive Primes in Arithmetic Progression
Are there arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of consecutive primes? That is, for any positive integer $k$, do there exist $k$ consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}, \ldots, p_{n+k-1}$ in arithmetic progression?
Known examples include the 4-term sequences 251, 257, 263, 269 and 1741, 1747, 1753, 1759. Dubner, Forbes, Lygeros, Mizony & Zimmermann found 10 consecutive primes in arithmetic progression in 1998. It is not known if there are infinitely many sets of three consecutive primes in arithmetic progression. From Richard Guy...

Infinitude of Sophie Germain Primes
Are there infinitely many Sophie Germain primes? A prime $p$ is called a Sophie Germain prime if $2p + 1$ is also prime.

Shanks Chains of Length 7
Are there any Shanks chains of length 7 with $p_{i+1} = 4p_i^2 - 17$?
Shanks chains are quadratic chains of primes. The recurrence $p_{i+1} = 4p_i^2 - 17$ yields a 4-chain if $p_1 = 3$ and a 5-chain if $p_1 = 303593$, but it can be seen (mod 59) that no such chain has length 17. It seems certain that such chains cannot be of arbitrary length. From Richard Guy's "Unsolved Problems in Numb...

Erdős $5000 Problem on Prime Gaps
Is it true that for infinitely many $n$, $d_n = p_{n+1} - p_n > c \ln n \ln \ln n \ln \ln \ln \ln n / (\ln \ln \ln n)^2$ for arbitrarily large constant $c$?
Erdős offers $5,000 for a proof or disproof that the constant $c$ can be taken arbitrarily large. Rankin showed this holds for $c = e^\gamma$, and Pintz improved it to $c = 2e^\gamma > 3.562$.

Reconciled with the existing literature review of 2026-08-17: The requested arbitrary-constant lower bound for large consecutive prime gaps was proved in 2014. This is a consistency correction based on that cited review; the discussion does not independently re-verify its proof claims. **What remains.** No work remain...

Twin Prime Conjecture
Are there infinitely many twin primes? That is, are there infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p + 2$ is also prime?
A very famous conjecture. Hardy and Littlewood conjectured that $P_2(n)$, the number of twin prime pairs less than $n$, is asymptotically $2cn/(\ln n)^2$ where $2c \approx 1.32032$. Brun showed that the sum of the reciprocals of twin primes is convergent. From Richard Guy's "Unsolved Problems in Number Theory", Section...

General Patterns of Consecutive Primes
For any given pattern of primes with no congruence obstructions, are there infinitely many sets of consecutive primes with this pattern?
This conjecture is more general than Chowla's conjecture. It seems likely that there are infinitely many triples of primes $\{6k - 1, 6k + 1, 6k + 5\}$ and $\{6k + 1, 6k + 5, 6k + 7\}$. Hensley & Richards showed this is incompatible with the conjecture $\pi(x + y) \le \pi(x) + \pi(y)$ for all integers $x, y \ge 2$. Fro...
