It's probably time to refresh the previous thread for the "finding primes" project, and to summarise the current state of affairs. The current goal is to find a deterministic way to locate a prime in an interval $latex [z,2z]$ in time that breaks the "square root barrier" of $latex \sqrt(z)$ (or more precisely, $latex z^{1/2+o(1)}$)....

This post tentatively kicks off Polymath 12 on Rota's basis conjecture. I proposed Rota's basis conjecture as a possible Polymath project on MathOverflow last year. If you have not read my proposal, I strongly recommend that you read it now, because in it, I sketched some reasons why I thought this would make a good...
