Abstract
It is proved that lim inf n?8 (p n+1 -p n )<7×10 7 , where p n is the n -th prime. Our method is a refinement of the recent work of Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim on the small gaps between consecutive primes. A major ingredient of the proof is a stronger version of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem that is applicable when the moduli are free from large prime divisors only, but it is adequate for our purpose

Small gaps between primes

TL;DR: In this paper, the GPY sieve method for studying prime k-tuples and small gaps between primes was introduced and it was shown that for each k, the prime k -tuples conjecture holds for a positive proportion of admissible k-toples.

Variants of the Selberg sieve, and bounded intervals containing many primes

TL;DR: In particular, this paper showed that for any admissible triple (h1,h2,h3), there are infinitely many n for which at least two of n+h 1,n+h 2,h 3 are prime, and also showed that either the twin prime conjecture holds or the even Goldbach conjecture is asymptotically true if one allows an additive error of at most 2, or both.

TL;DR: In the companion paper (Part II), it is shown that arbitrary finite duration signals can be decomposed into a finite sum of orthogonal projections onto Ramanujan subspaces.

Primes in Arithmetic Progressions

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that Dirichlet's original argument also was a real-variable argument, since by that time, a hundred years later, complex analysis was well-established.

Numbers of solutions of equations in finite fields

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for a prime of the form p = 4n + 1, the number of solutions of any congruence ax − by ≡ 1 (mod p) for a given biquadratic character of 2 mod p can be computed using Gaussian sums of order 3.

On the large sieve

Enrico Bombieri
- 01 Dec 1965 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new and improved version of Linnik's large sieve, with some applications, is given, which is based on the Hardy-Littlewood method, and in its most general form it may be considered as an inequality which relates a singular series arising from an integral where S(α) is any exponential sum.
