[GIMPS]43rd known Mersenne prime: M30402457

2^p - 1
i.e. the Mersenne primes has announced a new prime which will be the 43rd known Mersenne prime. The discovery submitted on 12/16 comes 10 months after the previous Mersenne prime. It seems that the lucky winner is a member of one of the large teams. Most likely, the number still has less than 10 million digits, and the winner therefore won't win one half of the $100,000 award.

The Reference Frame is the only blog in the world that also predicts that the winner is Curtis Cooper and his new greatest exponent is p = 30,402,457. You can try to search for this number on the whole internet and you won't find anything; nevertheless, in a few days, it is likely that this will be announced as the official new greatest prime integer after the verification process is finished. If you believe in your humble correspondent's miraculous intuition, you may want to make bets against your friends. ;-)

Actually I am so incredibly sure that you should bet thousands of dollars if someone is ready (and has the courage) to argue that I am mistaken and the exponent won't be 30,402,457. Trust me. Note that we predicted the previous Mersenne prime correctly, too.

The exponent may count the number of curves of a given genus in a particular elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifold. Or something else.

官方网站上尚未给出最后定论：http://www.mersenne.org/

43rd Known Mersenne Prime Found (probably)!

On December 16th one of GIMPS' computers reported a new Mersenne prime! An independent verification is expected to complete as early as December 25th. Full details about the new prime and its discoverer will be available shortly thereafter.

This will be GIMPS' 4th new prime in 25 months -- an incredible run of good luck!

当你引用别的消息时请指明出处！

另外建议版主把他的贴子中的那个数字隐去。GIMPS项目似乎不希望在验证出来前公布这个数字。

呵呵，我搜了搜，现在到处都能看到这个数字，好像也没有必要隐藏了。

果然，官方网站上已经明确的说了：http://www.mersenne.org/

对了prime有没有给会员发邮件？注册时填了接受邮件，不知道能不能收到项目方的新闻。

他们不会给您发邮件的，除非您通过他们的官方网站加入一个内部的邮件列表。

真是不错，进展快呀～！

我在想，又有新任务了。
碧碧考研，我要期末，考完再说～
