[#R1212] Current status and unresolved remainder
claim. OPEN as of 2026-07-31. The maintained Erdős Problems database at commit 8138974387d9030542daabe67faaa33eff9356f8 lists Problem 15 as open. The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement. Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 15: Let \(p_n\) denote the \(n\)-th prime number, with \(p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3, p_3 = 5,\ldots\). Consider the infinite series \[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac{n}{p_n}.\] Is this series convergent?

OPEN as of 2026-07-31. The maintained Erdős Problems database at commit 8138974387d9030542daabe67faaa33eff9356f8 lists Problem 15 as open. The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 15: Let \(p_n\) denote the \(n\)-th prime number, with \(p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3, p_3 = 5,\ldots\).
