Have not been able to get an answer to this on http://math.stackexchange.com, so trying here too... --- **Given the following two sets:** - $P^-(n) = \{p \leq n : p \equiv -1\pmod 6\}$ - $P^+(n) = \{p \leq n : p \equiv +1\pmod 6\}$ **For example:** - $P^-(40) = \{5,11,17,23,29\}$ - $P^+(40) = \{7,13,19,31,37\}$ **Given the following two functions:** - $C^-(n)=|P^-(n)|$ - $C^+(n)=|P^+(n)|$ **For example:** - $C^-(40) = 6$ - $C^+(40) = 6$ **Questions:** 1. Has it been proved that $\forall k \exists n : k=|C^-(n)-C^+(n)|$? 2. Has any bound been proved for $|C^-(n)-C^+(n)|$ relatively to $n$ (e.g., $\ln \ln n$)? 3. What is the largest known value of $|C^-(n)-C^+(n)|$, and for what value of $n$ does it hold?
