Distribution of primes (11N05) Applications of sieve methods (11N36)

Abstract: Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th smallest prime number, and let $$ denote the set of limit points of the sequence ${(p_{n+1}-p_n)/log{p}_n}_{n=1}^{infty}$ of normalized differences between consecutive primes. We show that for $k=9$ and for any sequence of $k$ nonnegative real numbers $$, at least one of the numbers $$ ($1lei<jlek$) belongs to $$. It follows at least $12.5\mathrm{\%}$ of all nonnegative real numbers belong to $$.
