Or maybe it was this one: ams.org/journals/mcom/1987-48-177/S0025-5718-1987-0866095-8/… The reference to Piltz (missing from the above wikipedia advert) is A. Piltz, Uber die Haufigkeit der Primzahlen in arithmetischen Progressionen und uber verwandte Gesetze, A. Neuenhahn, Jena, 1884. flipkart.com/book/ber-die-hufigkeit-der-primzahlen/1113365641 (also on GoogleBooks). This was his dissertation, and he also conjectures that $p_n - p_{n-1} < p^\alpha$ for all $\alpha > 0$. | |
