AI总结:

在黎曼假设下,本文证明了在x^{2+δ}和(x+1)^{2+δ}区间内存在素数,并提供了显式界限x₀(δ)以保证该结论成立,同时应用于Mills型素数生成常数。

摘要:

素数世界中,证据与定理之间存在许多空白。本文回顾了Legendre关于连续平方之间素数的猜想,以及关于连续更大幂之间素数的较弱问题的最新进展。假设黎曼假设(RH),我们观察到Emanuel Carneiro、Micah Milinovich和Kannan Soundararajan最近的结果,结合Jonathan Sorenson和Jonathan Webster的大规模计算,表明对于所有实数x≥1,当δ≥1/4时,存在x^{2+δ}和(x+1)^{2+δ}之间的素数。对于较小的δ>0,我们提供了一个显式界限x₀=x₀(δ),使得当x≥x₀时,这些区间内存在素数(再次假设RH)。最后,我们将其应用于Mills型素数生成常数。

英文摘要:

The world of primes has many gaps between evidence and theorems. Here, we review Legendre's conjecture on primes between consecutive squares and recent progress on the weaker question of primes between consecutive larger powers. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH), we observe that a recent result of Emanuel Carneiro, Micah Milinovich and Kannan Soundararajan, combined with a large-scale computation by Jonathan Sorenson and Jonathan Webster, implies the existence of primes between $x^{2+δ}$ and $(x+1)^{2+δ}$ for all real $x \geq 1$ when $δ\geq 1/4$. For smaller values of $δ> 0$, we provide an explicit bound $x_0 = x_0 (δ)$ such that primes exist in these intervals whenever $x \geq x_0$ (again assuming RH). We conclude with an application to Mills-type prime-generating constants.
