How many are some special gaps between primes?

101 Views Asked by At

Gap primes are certainly even numbers. (starting from the consecutive primes $3$ and $5$)
Let $n$ be however an odd number and define by $n^2$ the range of the examined primes ( i.e. the range is defined from $2$ to $n^2$)
Now I have examined gaps up to the value of $71^2=5041$.

It seems that in all these ranges defined by $n^2$ there is only one special gap equal to $14$ which occurs in the special range up to $13^2$.
It is special because $14$ is greater than $13$.
The gap is between numbers $113$ and $127$.
For others ranges defined by $n^2$ the maximal gap is less than $n$.

My question:

  • Is the gap between $113$ and $127$ unique for set of all primes, or however we can find the next such special gap with property described above?

    If not how to explain it?

Using https://oeis.org/A000101 and https://oeis.org/A005250 , I did check that this seems the only such special gap. And looking at the trend in this image, it doesn't look like there will be any other later too. This doesn't seem provable with the current results on prime gaps though (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap#Upper_bounds). We require $g_n < p_n^{0.5}$ to prove this, but the best we currently have is $g_n < p_n^{0.525}$
