Infinite admissible lengths conjecture for consecutive prime sums

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let pnp_n denote a prime number, and for each integer k≥1k\geq 1 define

Sk(pn)=pn+pn+1+⋯+pn+k−1,S_k(p_n)=p_n+p_{n+1}+\cdots+p_{n+k-1},

where pn+ip_{n+i} are consecutive primes. Infinite admissible lengths conjecture. For every prime number pnp_n, there exist infinitely many odd integers k≥3k\geq 3 such that

Sk(pn)S_k(p_n)

is a prime number. This strengthens the existence conjecture by asserting recurrence rather than merely one admissible length; the source supports it with numerical evidence and heuristic probabilistic arguments, but gives no proof.
