Modified Polignac's conjecture for number-trail prime gaps
Let be the prime gaps along the number trail, and let denote the natural numbers. Modified Polignac's conjecture. For every , there are infinitely many such that . The preceding result shows that takes arbitrarily large values but never takes or ; the conjecture proposes infinitude for every remaining natural value except , whose treatment is also excluded by the stated formulation. Its resolution is not given in the source.
