Abstract
Fix irrational numbers of finite type and real numbers , and let and be the Beatty sequences In this note, we study the distribution of pairs of consecutive primes for which and . Under a strong (but widely accepted) form of the Hardy-Littlewood conjectures, we show that where is the prime counting function.
