We give an exposition of the 2018 paper "Long Gaps Between Primes" by Ford, Green, Konyagin, Maynard, and Tao. Using methods from analytic number theory, sieve theory, and hypergraph covering, the authors proved a new lower bound on the large gaps between consecutive primes, improving a previous one made some 80 years ago.

Aug 31, 2014 · Large gaps between primes By James Maynard Abstract We show that there exist pairs of consecutive primes less than x whose difference is larger than t ( 1 + o( 1) ) (log x) (log log x) (log log log log a;) (log log log x) ~2 for any fixed t. This answers a well-known question of Erdös. 1. Introduction

as the average gap between the prime numbers which are ⩽ X is ∼ log X. In ... of consecutive large gaps between primes, by combining the methods in this ...

Theorem: There are arbitrarily large gaps between consecutive primes. (In other words, it is possible to find arbitrarily large sets of consecutive non‐prime numbers.)

Our proof works by incorporating recent progress in sieve methods related to small gaps between primes into the Erdos-Rankin construction.

Warning: there are two standard definitions of "gap". Let p be a prime and q be the next prime. Some define the gap between these two primes to be the number of composites between them, so g = q - p - 1 (and the gap following the prime 2 has length 0). Others define it to be simply q - p (so the gap following the prime 2 has the length 1).

Let X be a large number, and consider the least prime gap pn+1 − pn with pn,pn+1 ∈ [X,2X]. The prime number theorem tells us that there are. (1 + o(1)) X log ...

If p is a prime, the 'prime gap' after p is the number of composites that follow it. maximal gaps are larger than those for any smaller primes p.
