Bombieri–Friedlander–Iwaniec theorem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In analytic number theory, an advanced branch of mathematics, the Bombieri–Friedlander–Iwaniec theorem[1] asserts that there are an infinite number of prime numbers of the form a2 + b4.
It was proved in 1997 by John Friedlander and Henryk Iwaniec, using sieve techniques first developed by Enrico Bombieri.
Iwaniec was awarded the 2001 Ostrowski Prize in part for his contributions to this work.[2]
