Twin-prime occurrence in every interval between consecutive prime squares

Let pnp_n denote the nnth prime. Twin-square-interval conjecture. For every integer n3n\geq 3, there exists at least one pair of twin primes lying in the interval

(pn12,pn2).(p_{n-1}^2,p_n^2).

This is a stronger interval-by-interval assertion than the infinitude of twin primes and is supported in the paper by a probabilistic analysis and a computation through n=5103n=5\cdot 10^3.
