Abstract
We derive explicit formulas for integrals of certain symmetric polynomials used in Keiju Sono's multidimensional sieve of -numbers, i.e., integers which are products of two distinct primes. We use these computations to produce the currently best-known bounds for gaps between multiple -numbers. For example, we show there are infinitely many occurrences of four -numbers within a gap size of 94 unconditionally and within a gap size of 32 assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture for primes and sifted -numbers.
