The Pólya conjecture was disproved by C. Brian Haselgrove in 1958. He showed that the conjecture has a counterexample, which he estimated to be around 1.845 × 10 361. [3] A (much smaller) explicit counterexample, of n = 906,180,359 was given by R. Sherman Lehman in 1960; [4] the smallest counterexample is n = 906,150,257, found by Minoru ...
The earliest published statement of the conjecture seems to be in Montgomery (1973). [1] [2] David Hilbert did not work in the central areas of analytic number theory, but his name has become known for the Hilbert–Pólya conjecture due to a story told by Ernst Hellinger, a student of Hilbert, to André Weil. Hellinger said that Hilbert ...

Polya begins Volume I with a discussion on induction, not mathematical induction, but as a way of guessing new results.He shows how the chance observations of a few results of the form 4 = 2 + 2, 6 = 3 + 3, 8 = 3 + 5, 10 = 3 + 7, etc., may prompt a sharp mind to formulate the conjecture that every even number greater than 4 can be represented as the sum of two odd prime numbers.
Colin Brian Haselgrove (26 September 1926 – 27 May 1964) was an English mathematician who is best known for his disproof of the Pólya conjecture in 1958. [1] Haselgrove was educated at Blundell's School and from there won a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge. He obtained his Ph.D., which was supervised by Albert Ingham, from Cambridge ...
George Pólya (/ ˈ p oʊ l j ə /; Hungarian: Pólya György, pronounced [ˈpoːjɒ ˈɟørɟ]; December 13, 1887 – September 7, 1985) was a Hungarian-American mathematician.He was a professor of mathematics from 1914 to 1940 at ETH Zürich and from 1940 to 1953 at Stanford University.
According to the Hilbert–Pólya conjecture, the complex zeroes ρ should be the eigenvalues of some linear operator T. The sum over the zeros of the explicit formula is then (at least formally) given by a trace: = ((^)).
