Erdős Problem #5 — Limit points of the normalized prime gaps dn/lognd_n/\log n

Erdős

Let 2=p1<p2<2 = p_1 < p_2 < \cdots be the sequence of consecutive primes. [...] pn+1pn=dnp_{n+1} - p_n = d_n. [...] It seems likely that dn/lognd_n/\log n is everywhere dense in (0,)(0, \infty). Ricci [13] and I proved independently that the limit points of dn/lognd_n/\log n form a set of positive Lebesgue measure, but the only known limit point of this set is \infty. In particular I do not know if dn/lognd_n/\log n has a rational limit point.
