Biography

Zhi-Wei Sun was born in Huai'an, Jiangsu. Sun and his twin brother Sun Zhihong proved a theorem about what are now known as the Wall–Sun–Sun primes.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Sun proved Sun's curious identity in 2002.[1] In 2003, he presented a unified approach to three topics of Paul Erdős in combinatorial number theory: covering systems, restricted sumsets, and zero-sum problems or EGZ Theorem.[2]

With Stephen Redmond, he posed the Redmond–Sun conjecture in 2006.

In 2013, he published a paper containing many conjectures on primes, one of which states that for any positive integer m there are consecutive primes pk,,pn (k<n) not exceeding 2m+2.2m such that m=pnpn1+...+(1)nkpk, where pj denotes the j-th prime.[3]

He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
