Sun Zhiwei

Sun Zhiwei (Chinese: 孙智伟; pinyin: Sūn Zhìwěi; Wade–Giles: Sun Chih-wei, born October 16, 1965) is a Chinese mathematician, working primarily in number theory, combinatorics, and group theory.

He is a professor at Nanjing University.

Sun Zhiwei 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.

[citation needed] 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
