The completeness conjecture for MacMahon prime-detecting expressions
The completeness conjecture for MacMahon prime-detecting expressions
Let be the partition functions defined by
Let be a vector of relatively prime integer polynomials. For integers , suppose that
and that vanishes precisely when is prime. The completeness conjecture. Then is a -linear combination of the entries in the table of known prime-detecting expressions. This conjectures that the listed MacMahon partition-function expressions generate all prime-detecting expressions of this type; the paper presents the claim as motivated by computer evidence, with no resolution supplied.
