Abstract

Let 0<γ1γ20<\gamma_1\leq \gamma_2 \leq \cdots denote the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function with positive imaginary parts. For c>0c>0 fixed (but possibly small), TT large, and γnT\gamma_n\leq T, we call a gap γn+1γn\gamma_{n+1}-\gamma_n between consecutive ordinates ``moderate'' if γn+1γn2πc/logT\gamma_{n+1}-\gamma_n \geq 2\pi c/\log T. We investigate whether infinitely often there exists rr consecutive moderate gaps between ordinates γn+1γn,γn+2γn+1,,γn+rγn+r1\gamma_{n+1}-\gamma_n, \gamma_{n+2}-\gamma_{n+1}, \ldots , \gamma_{n+r}- \gamma_{n+r-1}.
