The EMCHS heuristic prime gap bound

About 1 year old · traced to

Let pnp_n denote the nnth prime, and let δ\delta and ϵ\epsilon be parameters in the ranges considered by the Enhanced Multidimensional Chaotic Heuristic Sieve (EMCHS), including δ=0\delta=0 or 0.30.3 and small positive values such as ϵ=0.1\epsilon=0.1. Heuristic prime gap bound. Under the EMCHS model,

lim inf⁡n→∞(pn+1−pn)≤exp⁡(2δ−ϵ) ln⁡ ⁣(e2/δ).\liminf_{n\to\infty}(p_{n+1}-p_n)\leq \exp(2\delta-\epsilon)\,\ln\!\bigl(e^{2/\delta}\bigr).

For δ=0.3\delta=0.3 and ϵ=0.1\epsilon=0.1, the source gives the numerical consequence lim inf⁡(pn+1−pn)≤11\liminf(p_{n+1}-p_n)\leq 11 and suggests that a gap of 88 is attainable. These are explicitly heuristic estimates, not unconditional theorems, and the displayed formula is singular at δ=0\delta=0 unless an interpretation or limiting convention is supplied.
