On the distribution of prime multiplets
Abstract
The probability of finding a prime multiplet, i.e., a sequence of primes and , , being all primes where is some prime less than the integer is naively . It is shown that, in reality, it is proportional to this probability by a constant factor which depends on and but not on , for large . These constants are appellated as PDF (prime distribution factors). Moreover, it is argued that the PDF depend on the in a "week" way, only on the prime factors of the differences and not on their exponents. For example and will have the exact same probability for all integer . The exact formulae for the PDF ratios are given. Moreover, the actual 'basic' PDF's are calculated exactly and are shown to be bigger than 1, which indicates that primes 'repel' each other. An exact asymptotic formula for the number of basic multiplets is given.
