New upper bounds for Ramanujan primes

Abstract: For

n g e 1

, the

n^{m t h}

Ramanujan prime is defined as the smallest positive integer

R_{n}

such that for all

x g e R_{n}

, the interval

(f r a c x 2, x]

has at least

n

primes. We show that for every

e p s i l o n > 0

, there is a positive integer

N

such that if

a l p h a = 2 n l e f t (1 + d f r a c l o g 2 + e p s i l o n l o g n + j (n) i g h t)

, then

R_{n} < p_{[a l p h a]}

for all

n > N

, where

p_{i}

is the

i^{m t h}

prime and

j (n) > 0

is any function that satisfies

j (n) o i n f t y

and

n j^{'} (n) o 0

.
