Andrica's conjecture for consecutive prime powers

About 9 years old · traced to

Let q1,q2,…q_1,q_2,\ldots be the consecutive prime powers. Andrica's conjecture for prime powers. The inequality

qn+1−qn<1\sqrt{q_{n+1}}-\sqrt{q_n}<1

holds for every nn. This is a denser-sequence analogue of Andrica's conjecture for consecutive primes and remains open in the stated generality.
