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.
