The gap between what we can explicitly prove regarding the distribution of primes and what we suspect regarding the distribution of primes is enormous. It is (reasonably) well-known that the Riemann hypothesis is not sufficient to prove Andrica’s conjecture: , is $\sqrt{p_{n+1}}-\sqrt{p_n} \leq 1$? But can one at least get tolerably close? I shall first show that with a logarithmic modification, provided one assumes the Riemann hypothesis, one has Then, by considering more general roots, again assuming the Riemann hypothesis, I shall show that In counterpoint, if we limit ourselves to what we can currently prove unconditionally, then the only explicit Andrica-like results seem to be variants on the results below: I shall also slightly update the region on which Andrica’s conjecture is unconditionally verified.
