"Dr. Zhang’s proof takes advantage of a 2005 paper by Daniel Goldston of
San Jose State University, Janos Pintz of the Alfred Renyi Institute of
Mathematics in Budapest and Cem Yildirim of Bogazici University in Istanbul,
which had shown there would always be pairs of primes closer than the
average distance between two primes.
Still, in mathematics, closer does not necessarily mean two numbers away,
and experts were unable to make further progress on the conjecture. “People
tried, and after a few years, it seemed this was really far away,” Dr.
Sarnak said.
Dr. Zhang also used techniques developed in the 1980s by Henryk Iwaniec of
Rutgers, Enrico Bombieri of the Institute for Advanced Study and John B.
Friedlander of the University of Toronto, adding his own ingenuity to tie
everything together in a way others had been unable to.
“He got it,” said Dr. Iwaniec, who has read Dr. Zhang’s paper. “There’s
no question about it.” | l***o

的工作与Henryk Iwaniec, Enrico Bombieri，John B. Friedlander的工作天才般地结
合起来，最终证明了猜想。这些人也应分得一些credit. |
