Maynard: small gaps between primes

Developed a multidimensional sieve method showing that bounded intervals contain arbitrarily many primes for each fixed multiplicity, with explicit unconditional bounds for the corresponding liminf gaps.

What is recorded here?

Developed a multidimensional sieve method showing that bounded intervals contain arbitrarily many primes for each fixed multiplicity, with explicit unconditional bounds for the corresponding liminf gaps.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is Maynard's sole-author 2015 Annals of Mathematics paper. Its unconditional and conditional bounds remain those proved in the paper; it does not prove the twin-prime conjecture or absorb independent contemporaneous work.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
