Abstract:

We give computational evidence and theoretical support for the
following conjecture: every prime number p >3 is expressible as the sum of a twin prime and the double of a triangular number. We discuss the relation of this conjecture with some open problems in analytic number theory, like the existence of infinitely many twin primes.
