Gilbreath’s conjecture: a Cramér random model and a deterministic analysis
Zachary Chase, Zach Hunter and I have uploaded to the arXiv our preprint Gilbreath’s conjecture: a Cramér random model and a deterministic analysis. This paper is motivated by a notorious conjecture of Gilbreath (also proposed eighty years prior by Proth), which one can state as follows: if one starts with the sequence of primes and repeatedly takes absolute differences of consecutive terms, then the first term of each subsequent row is always : Coming from a PDE background, I like to think of t...
