Two new maximal prime gaps are now known above 264. They have sizes 1552 and 1572. They are very great.

I believe that 223 will eventually beat 127. It starts out behind because there are two consecutive gaps of 12 before 223. However, 223 will eventually catch up with 127 because 127 has a gap of 14....

Very good! It seems like the popularity of a prime as the start of a maximal gap is based upon the gaps before p. However, there are weird exceptions like 29 and 37. The 2 gaps before 29 are (4, 6)...

Yes. I have a program, but it is slow for primes above 47. We basically want admissible k-tuples where the total of the gaps is less than or equal to the total of the k gaps before p. Let pm be the...

Forbidden prime gap combinations

Let an n-prime gap be the gap between a prime p and the prime n primes after p. Then, 2 and 3 are always the start of a maximal n-gap for all n. 5 is the start of a maximal n-gap if and only if the...

What is the pattern with the sequence of primes with record low numbers of occurrences? It seems like the sequence is 2, 5, 11, 29, 37, 59, 97, 127, 223, 307, 541, 907, 1151, 1361, ... This is...

I believe that as [$]n\to\infty[/$], the primes p with the most occurrences will be based upon a lot of small prime gaps immediately before p. Therefore, 5659 should eventually beat 109 because the 5...

How many times does 1327 appear in the list? 1327 has some big gaps to the next primes (1361, 1367, 1373, 1381, 1399, 1409, 1423). What about 1321? Since 1321 is near 1327, it should also appear a...

If it is not required to be between multiples of 100, then there are some interesting spans of 100 numbers with a lot of primes. For example, there are a whopping 19 primes from 2657 to 2753.
