Rice University Summer Institute of Statistics
  • Study of the distances and increments between
    prime numbers by modular segregation and extreme
    value theory

Conjectures
  • A Weibull or exponential distribution models the
    distances and increments between consecutive
    primes when separated modulo six.
  • The extreme values over a certain threshold
    follow a generalized pareto distribution.
  • The number of distances congruent to two and four
    modulo six approach a limit.
  • The waiting times between extreme values follow a
    Poisson process.
