Twin Prime Index Conjecture

Let:f(x,y)=∣6xy+x+y∣

where 𝑥,𝑦 ∈ 𝑍∖{0} (i.e., both are non-zero integers, so may be positive or negative).

Define the set:

𝐾composite = {𝑓(𝑥,𝑦): 𝑥≠0, 𝑦≠0}

Then: A positive integer 𝑘 is the index of a twin prime pair (6𝑘−1,6𝑘+1) if and only if:

𝑘∉𝐾composite

Therefore, the Twin Prime Conjecture is true if and only if:

𝑍+∖𝐾composite is infinite

In plain language:

There are infinitely many twin primes if and only if there are infinitely many positive integers 𝑘 that cannot be written in the form ∣6𝑥𝑦+𝑥+𝑦∣ for any non-zero integers 𝑥,𝑦.
