Green-Tao

Shouldn't that news item refer to A005115 rather than A033168? It shows that the former is infinite; the latter seems mostly unrelated. — Charles R Greathouse IV 19:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps. The thing is I have actually looked at A033168, whereas just now I learned of A005115. In any case, the news item is somewhat anomalous because most news items in this section will refer to core sequences, or at least the most famous sequences. — Alonso del Arte 22:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Catalan's constant

I removed a result of N. A. Carella from the list. He has claimed proofs of many famous mathematical conjectures (nonexistence of odd prime numbers, Cramer's conjecture, etc.) which have not yet passed peer review. If this one's right then that's a fantastic discovery but we should probably wait for it to be published in a peer reviewed journal. — Charles R Greathouse IV 00:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

A006752 may need to be edited accordingly. — Alonso del Arte 00:53, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up. — Charles R Greathouse IV 01:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I edited the sequence and sent an email to Dr. Post. — Charles R Greathouse IV 05:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

ABC conjecture

A proof of the Abc conjecture has been announced, but the proof has not yet been validated. It is said to be very difficult and elaborate. Alonso del Arte 19:34, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Technical questions

I wish to use this e.g. in User:M._F._Hasler/Proposal_for_MainPage and have some questions:

  1. can the section heading be suppressed or formatted with custom style?
  2. the < references > tag is in the NOINCLUDE section, so are the references displayed or not by the template?
  3. (in particular if the previous answer is no:) Is there a preferred way to add a link to the full list and/or a page giving the list with the references?

Thanks in advance! M. F. Hasler 07:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

To be honest, I think this is important enough to warrant changing this template to fit your needs. I hope your proposal -- or something like it -- is accepted, because it looks very nice. Charles R Greathouse IV 07:36, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
