I will explain the beautiful generalization recently discovered by Y. Tian of Heegner's original proof of the existence of infinitely many primes of the form 8n+5, which are congruent numbers. At the end, I hope to mention some possible generalizations of his work to other elliptic curves defined over the field of rational numbers.
