The short-partition model conjecture for prime gaps
Let be the th prime, let denote the set of partitions, and let be the supernorm map. A partition has no 's when none of its parts equals , and its length is its number of parts. Short-partition model conjecture for prime gaps. For , the odd numbers in the interval can be modeled by the values of on partitions of norm having no part equal to and length exactly one or two. This is a provisional heuristic based on simplifying postulates: longer partitions are assumed to contribute negligibly to the prime-gap estimate, and the relevant length-one and length-two partitions are expected to account for most odd values in the gap. It is explicitly a model rather than an established theorem, and no resolution is supplied.
