AbstractWe prove that $$\mathop{ \lim \inf}\limits_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{p_{n+1}-p_{n}}{\sqrt{\log p_{n}} \left(\log \log p_{n}\right)^{2}}< \infty,$$where pn denotes the nth prime. Since on average pn+1−pn is asymptotically log n, this shows that we can always find pairs of primes much closer together than the average. We actually prove a more general result concerning the set of values taken on by the differences p−p′ between primes which includes the small gap result above.
Limit Points of the Sequence of Normalized Differences Between Consecutive Prime Numbers

Let p n denote the nth prime number and let $$d_{n} = p_{n+1} - p_{n}$$ denote the nth difference in the sequence of prime numbers. Erdős and Ricci independently proved that the set of limit points
Bounded gaps between primes in short intervals

Baker, Harman, and Pintz showed that a weak form of the Prime Number Theorem holds in intervals of the form $$[x-x^{0.525},x]$$[x-x0.525,x] for large x. In this paper, we extend a result of Maynard
On a conjecture of Erd\H{O}s, P\'olya and Tur\'an on consecutive gaps between primes
Let p_n denote the sequence of all primes and let d_n=p_n-p_{n-1} denote the sequence of all gaps between consecutive primes. In 1948 Erd\H{o}s and Tur\'an showed that d_{n+1}-d_n changes sign
On the Ratio of Consecutive Gaps Between Primes
In the present work we prove a common generalization of Maynard–Tao’s recent result about consecutive bounded gaps between primes and of the Erdős–Rankin bound about large gaps between consecutive
Note On The Maximal Primes Gaps
This note presents a result on the maximal prime gap of the form p_(n+1) - p_n 0 is a constant, for any arbitrarily small real number e > 0, and all sufficiently large integer n > n_0. Equivalently,
Prime numbers in logarithmic intervals

Let X be a large parameter. We will first give a new estimate for the i ntegral moments of primes in short intervals of the type (p, p + h], where p ≤ X is a prime number and h = o(X). Then we will
Bounded prime gaps in short intervals
We generalise Zhang's and Pintz recent results on bounded prime gaps to give a lower bound for the the number of prime pairs bounded by 6*10^7 in the short interval $[x,x+x (\log x)^{-A}]$. Our
Note On Prime Gaps And Very Short Intervals
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, this article discusses a new elementary argument that seems to prove that the maximal prime gap of a finite sequence of primes p_1, p_2, ..., p_n 0 constant.
Bounded length intervals containing two primes and an almost‐prime
Goldston, Pintz and Yıldırım have shown that if the primes have ‘level of distribution’ θ for some θ > ½, then there exists a constant C(θ), such that there are infinitely many integers n for which

We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the
