Explicit Calculations for Sono's Multidimensional Sieve of $E_2$-Numbers

Number Theory 2022-08-31 v1

Abstract

We derive explicit formulas for integrals of certain symmetric polynomials used in Keiju Sono's multidimensional sieve of E2E_2-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 E2E_2-numbers. For example, we show there are infinitely many occurrences of four E2E_2-numbers within a gap size of 94 unconditionally and within a gap size of 32 assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture for primes and sifted E2E_2-numbers.
