Sieve Method and Prime Gaps via Probabilistic Method

Number Theory 2022-10-21 v1 Probability

Abstract

Most prime gaps results have been proven using tools from analytic or algebraic number theory in the last few centuries. In this paper, we would like to present some probabilistic way of proving many essential results. A major component of the proof is a probabilistic approach to the sieve method. In addition, we discuss their connections with recent work by Zhang and Maynard on small and large gaps in prime numbers.
