Abstract

Let DkD_{k} be a set with kk distinct elements of integers such that d1<d2<<dkd_{1}<d_{2}<\cdots<d_{k}. We say DkD_{k}^{*} is a kk-tuple prime difference champion (kk-tuple PDC) for primes x\le x if the set DkD_{k}^{*} is the most probable differences among k+1k+1 primes up to xx. Unconditionally we prove that the kk-tuple PDCs go to infinity and further have asymptotically the same number prime factors when weighted by logarithmic derivative as the porimorials. Assuming an appropriate form of the Hardy-Littlewood Prime kk-tuple Conjecture, we obtain that the kk-tuple PDCs are infinite square-free numbers containing any large primorial as factor when xx\rightarrow \infty.
