Improved Upper Bound on Brun's Constant Under GRH

Number Theory 2025-05-19 v2

Abstract

Brun's constant is the summation of the reciprocals of all twin primes, given by B=pP2(1p+1p+2)B=\sum_{p \in P_2}{\left( \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p+2}\right)}. While rigorous unconditional bounds on BB are known, we present the first rigorous bound on Brun's constant under the GRH assumption, yielding B<2.1594B < 2.1594.
