In mathematics, the Redmond–Sun conjecture, raised by Stephen Redmond and Zhi-Wei Sun in 2006, states that every interval [x my n] with xymn ∈ {2, 3, 4, ...} contains primes with only finitely many exceptions. Namely, those exceptional intervals [x my n] are as follows:

[23,32],[52,33],[25,62],[112,53],[37,133],
[55,562],[1812,215],[433,2822],[463,3122],[224342,555].

The conjecture has been verified for intervals [x my n] below 1012. It includes Catalan's conjecture and Legendre's conjecture as special cases. Also, it is related to the abc conjecture as suggested by Carl Pomerance.
