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
[3] He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Combinatorics and Number Theory.
