This volume assembles a series of research papers in number theory published by Ramon Carbó-Dorca and some of his collaborators between 2023 and 2026. The collection focuses on several famous mathematical conjectures—the Collatz Conjecture, the (Strong) Goldbach Conjecture, Fermat’s Last Theorem, and the Riemann Hypothesis—and attempts to re-examine these classic problems from a unified perspective of “natural number vector structures.”

Ramon Carbó-Dorca
Ramon Carbó-Dorca (born on October 19, 1940, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain) is a chemical engineer and chemist. His academic career has been primarily centred in Barcelona. He obtained a Bachelor's degree (1964) and a PhD (1968) in Chemical Engineering from the Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS). Subsequently, he earned two further degrees in Chemistry: a Bachelor's from the Universitat de Barcelona (1970) and a PhD from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) (1974).
