Conjecture on the asymptotic formula for the nth prime

For each positive integer n>2n>2, define

λn=2(logn!+1),μn=loglogn!.\lambda_n=\lceil 2(\log n!+1)\rceil,\qquad \mu_n=\lfloor \log \log n!\rfloor.

Here pnp_n denotes the nnth prime number. Asymptotic formula for the nth prime. There exist some ϵ[0,1]\epsilon\in[0,1] and δ[2,2]\delta\in[-2,2] such that

pn=λnμn2+ϵ+δ;p_n=\left\lceil \lambda_n-\mu_n^{2+\epsilon}+\delta\right\rceil;

in particular, for all n>2n>2,

pn(λnμn32,λnμn2+2).p_n\in\left(\lambda_n-\mu_n^3-2,\,\lambda_n-\mu_n^2+2\right).

This conjecture proposes a precise approximation to the nnth prime in terms of factorial logarithms. The supplied text does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
