A note on the distribution of clusters and deserts of prime numbers

Number Theory 2024-11-12 v1

Abstract

In this note we consider the distribution of values of weighted sums of the von Mangoldt arithmetical function. By using a formula for the distribution of values of trigonometric polynomials, we are able to present evidence supporting the claim that these weighted sums follow a distribution with a normal-like behavior.
