Questions where prime numbers play a key-role, such as: questions on the distribution of prime numbers (twin primes, gaps between primes, Hardy–Littlewood conjectures, etc); questions on prime numbers with special properties (Wieferich prime, Wolstenholme prime, etc.). This tag is often used as a specialized tag in combination with the top-level tag nt.number-theory and (if applicable) analytic-number-theory.

When are there infinitely many primes in a sequence generated by a simple recurrence relation?
tl;dr summary: am I right in thinking that we expect $2^n-1$ to be prime infinitely often, but $2^n+1$ to be prime only finitely often? What's the general story here?
An applied mathematician asked m …

Infinitely many primes of the form $2^n+c$ as $n$ varies?
At the time of writing, question 5191 is closed with the accusation of homework. But I don't have a clue about what is going on in that question (other than part 3) [Edit: Anton's comments at 5191 cla …

Integers not represented by $ 2 x^2 + x y + 3 y^2 + z^3 - z $
EDIT: Hendrik Lenstra emailed me a proof of Conjecture 2. I'll append it below. So Jagy's question is now solved.
OK so I think that Jagy wants to make the following conjecture:
CONJECTURE 1: an i …

Are there primes p, q such that p^4+1 = 2q^2 ?
I don't know if there is a simple proof, but I know one which is easy to do because it lets a computer do all the work (but the work is perhaps complicated): you simply ask a computer to solve Y^2=2X^ …

Why is 2 so odd?
My take on this issue is that p=2 isn't really strange---all small primes are strange, it's just that the smaller you are, the earlier you become troublesome. Look at recent R=T results in the theory …
