Abstract

Let pkp_{k} denote the kk-th prime and d(pk)=pkpk1d(p_{k}) = p_{k} - p_{k - 1}, the difference between consecutive primes. We denote by Nϵ(x)N_{\epsilon}(x) the number of primes x\leq x which satisfy the inequality d(pk)(logpk)2+ϵd(p_{k}) \leq (\log p_{k})^{2 + \epsilon}, where ϵ>0\epsilon > 0 is arbitrary and fixed, and by π(x)\pi(x) the number of primes less than or equal to xx. In this paper, we first prove a theorem that limxNϵ(x)/π(x)=1\lim_{x \to \infty} N_{\epsilon}(x)/\pi(x) = 1. A corollary to the proof of the theorem concerning gaps between consecutive squarefree numbers is stated.

The paper should simply be forgotten, as it was pointed that this claim can be shown in three sentences
