Poisson Tail Conjecture for gaps between consecutive primes
Poisson Tail Conjecture for gaps between consecutive primes
Let denote the th prime, and let . Poisson Tail Conjecture. For , the two gap-counting quantities satisfy
For and sufficiently large, both quantities vanish. This conjecture models prime gaps as having Poisson tails at the scale of the average gap ; the stated ranges and asymptotics are not currently known in full.
