An Example of the Application of Provability Logic to Unsolved Problems in Number Theory: The Cullen Numbers and Conway’s Supposition

Alexander Bolotin · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2016

This short paper offers an example of possibly fruitful interactions between modal logic and number theory. In the paper, Conway's remark that p and p.2p + 1  can both be prime numbers is formulated as a formula of modal logic and then analyzed for its decidability.
