Asymptotic of the greatest distance between adjacent primes and the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture

Published 20 Apr 2020 in math.GM | (2004.11203v4)

Abstract: The paper substantiates the conjecture of the asymptotic behavior of the largest distance between consecutive primes: $sup_{p_i \leq x}(p_{i+1}-p_i) \sim 2e{-\gamma} \log2(x)$, where $\gamma$ is the Euler constant. The Hardy-Littlewood conjecture about the number of prime tuples is investigated and the rationale for this conjecture is given, taking into account the fact that a large natural number is not divisible by primes. It also substantiates why the accuracy of this conjecture is not affected by another assumption about the probability of a natural number being prime, although such a probability does not exist. The paper also considers the distribution of prime tuples using a mathematical model based on the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture.
