Summary
Prime Gaps: A Journey to Bounded Differences
Searching for small gaps between consecutive primes is one way to approach the twin primes conjecture, one of the most celebrated unsolved problems in number theory. This book documents the remarkable developments of recent decades, whereby an upper bound on the known gap length between infinite numbers of consecutive primes has been reduced to a tractable finite size.
The text is both introductory and complete: the detailed way i…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘The author has gathered almost 100 year’s worth of progress on this family of problems into one volume, and this alone will be very helpful to anyone pursuing research in the field. Recommended.’ M. Bona, Choice‘a wonderful tale of how two lesser-known mathematicians worked extremely hard to solve an intriguing, long-standing open problem that so many leading experts could not.’ Sam Chow, London Mathematical Society
