Caldwell and Gallot's conjecture on the expected number of primorial primes
Let be the -th prime and define the primorial by
A primorial prime is a prime of the form . For a fixed prime bound , consider primorial primes with indices .
Caldwell and Gallot's conjecture. The expected number of primorial primes of each of the forms less than or equal to , respectively, are both approximately
This is motivated by a heuristic using the Mertens product and the ordinary prime probability. It concerns expected counts rather than a proven asymptotic result.
