Abstract :
According to Goldbach conjecture, any even number can be broken up as the sum of two prime numbers: n=p+q. We construct a network where each node is a prime number and corresponding to every even number n, we put a link between the component primes p and q. In most cases, an even number can be broken up in many ways, and then we chose one decomposition with a probability p-qα. Through computation of average shortest distance and clustering coefficient, we conclude that for α>-1.8 the network is of small world type and for α<-1.8 it is of regular type. We also present a theoretical justification for such behaviour.
