  MathFest Highlight: Daniel Goldston and the Revenge of the Twin Prime Conjecture
Two years ago, Daniel Goldston and his collaborators proved that there always exist primes that are very close together.
With that success, Goldston hoped that their method would soon lead to a proof that there are infinitely often pairs of primes closer than some fixed bounded distance.
Goldston comes to MathFest to discuss the methods that he and his colleagues used and to talk about why further progress towards a proof of the twin prime conjecture may be more difficult than he had originally thought.

 When is a proof?
Granville and Soundarajan took Goldston and Yildirim's argument and extended it to show that there are infinitely many pairs of primes differing by no more than 12.
Not believing their result, the two decided to look again at Goldston and Yildirim's core lemmas to see if there was some crucial detail that was being too easily glossed over.
Goldston and Yildirim's core lemmas had a familiar flavor and their conclusions were very believable, so everyone believed them.

 Uncovering a prime failure: Science News Online, May 31, 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Daniel A. Goldston of San Jose (Calif.) State University and Cem Y. Yildirim of Bogaziçi University in Istanbul have acknowledged a flaw in work they announced in March, which appeared to say that tight clusters of primes show up among whole numbers no matter how large the numbers are (SN: 3/29/03, p.
Goldston and Yildirim had created much excitement among number theorists when it appeared that they had come much closer to proving the twin-prime conjecture than others had managed to do in previous attempts.
Scrutinizing Goldston and Yildirim's work line by line, Granville and Soundararajan found that one term in a complicated expression wasn't as well behaved mathematically as Goldston and Yildirim had thought, making the final result fall through.

Goldston, along with his collaborators Janos Pintz of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest and Cem Yildirim of Bogazici University in Istanbul, published research in May 2005 that purported to greatly improve the methodology for finding pairs of prime numbers grouped closely together.
Goldston said he welcomed the attention his work has been getting, but was upset that the Nova song left out his collaborators.
Goldston is on sabbatical this semester, but his colleagues said he always has time to answer questions.

One is the way it was discovered: Goldston and Yildirim had been working on gaps between primes since 1999, and announced the above result in 2003.
You can read about it in Daniel Goldston's amusing artcile my 30 minutes of fame.
Technically, their results improve on previous "sieve" techniques whose spirit is to show that the "primes are 'pseudo-random' except in the obvious ways in which they aren't," as Green and Tao more or less put it, a statement that is made precise in the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture.

Two years ago, Daniel Goldston, a math professor at San Jose State University, and his Turkish colleague Cem Yalcin Yildirim of Bogazici University, announced they had proved this result, which mathematicians consider to be a huge advance.
The result is related to the renowned Twin Primes Conjecture, which asks whether there are infinitely many prime numbers that differ by 2 (e.g., 5 and 7 are twin primes because the differ by 2).
Goldston and Yildirim attempted to answer a somewhat different question: Are there infinitely many pairs of primes that are closer together than average?
