Bounded prime gaps in short intervals

Number Theory 2013-06-07 v2

Abstract

We generalise Zhang's and Pintz recent results on bounded prime gaps to give a lower bound for the the number of prime pairs bounded by 6*10^7 in the short interval [x,x+x(logx)A][x,x+x (\log x)^{-A}]. Our result follows only by analysing Zhang's proof of Theorem 1, but we also explain how a sharper variant of Zhang's Theorem 2 would imply the same result for shorter intervals.
