The open problem that there are infinitely many prime pairs of the form (p, p+2). Claims about its truth, proof attempts, conditional or partial results (e.g. Chen's theorem, Zhang–Maynard–Polymath bounded gaps), equivalent reformulations, and computational verifications belong here; other prime-distribution questions stay under Number theory.
There are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by exactly 2.
SupportedThe evidence favors the claim, but the examination is incomplete or the evidence is indirect.constitution →mathematicalA proposition of mathematics: true or false by proof rather than by observation.

The number of twin prime pairs below x is asymptotically 2 C₂ x/(log x)².
