چکیده

Let dn = Pn+i ~Pn denote the nth gap in the sequence of primes. We show that for every fixed integer A; and sufficiently large T the set of limit points of the sequence {(dn/logra, ■ • • ,dn+k-i/logn)} in the cube [0, T]k has Lebesgue measure > c(k)Tk, where c(k) is a positive constant depending only on k. This generalizes a result of Ricci and answers a question of Erdös, who had asked to prove that the sequence {dnf log n} has a finite limit point greater than 1.

Large gaps between consecutive prime numbers containing perfect powers

For any positive integer k, we show that infinitely often, perfect k-th powers appear inside very long gaps between consecutive prime numbers, that is, gaps of size ck log p log2 p log4 p (log3 p) 2 , where p is the smaller of the two primes.

Gaps between prime numbers and tensor rank of multiplication in finite fields

We present effective upper bounds on the symmetric bilinear complexity of multiplication in extensions of a base finite field F p2 of prime square order, obtained by combining estimates on gaps between prime numbers together with an optimal construction of auxiliary divisors for multiplication algorithms by evaluation-interpolation on curves. Most of this material dates back to a 2011 unpublish...

Bounded gaps between products of special primes

In their breakthrough paper in 2006, Goldston, Graham, Pintz, and Yıldırım 1 proved several results about bounded gaps between products of two distinct primes. Frank 2 Thorne expanded on this result, proving bounded gaps in the set of square-free numbers with 3 r prime factors for any r ≥ 2, all of which are in a given set of primes. His results yield 4 applications to divisibility of class num...

Sieve Methods Lecture Notes Large Gaps between Primes

denote the the maximum gap between consecutive primes less than X . It is clear from the prime number theorem that G(X) > (1 + o(1)) logX, as the average gap between the prime numbers which are 6 X is ∼ logX . Explicit gaps of (at least) this size may be constructed by observing that P (n)+2, P (n)+3, . . . , P (n)+n is a sequence of n−1 composite numbers, where P (n) is the product of the prim...

Small Gaps between Primes I

Finding mathematical proofs for easily observed properties of the distribution of prime numbers is a difficult and often humbling task, at least for the authors of this paper. The twin prime conjecture is a famous example of this, but we are concerned here with the much more modest problem of proving that there are arbitrarily large primes that are “unusually close ” together. Statistically thi...

Finding prime pairs with particular gaps

By a prime gap of size g, we mean that there are primes p and p + g such that the g − 1 numbers between p and p + g are all composite. It is widely believed that infinitely many prime gaps of size g exist for all even integers g. However, it had not previously been known whether a prime gap of size 1000 existed. The objective of this article was to be the first to find a prime gap of size 1000,...
