Luis Rodríguez sent the following
conjecture:
...I search for a formula that
would give the approximate value of the maximum gap between twin
primes. I propose 0.45 (Log N)^3 . This produces acceptable
numbers. The following is a table of mine:
GAP N 0.45 (LOG
N)^3
210 5879 294
630 62927 607
1452 851801 1146
1512 2870471 1480
1722 9925709 1882
2256 30754487 2306
2634 78796691 2705
N represents the first prime of
the pair of twins where the gap appears.
Let's name the two pairs of
consecutive twins this was: {(p1,p1+2; p2,p2+1}. Then, according to
Luis, N=p1, Gap=p2-p1, and his conjecture is this one:
Gap
~ k.(ln(p1))3, k ~
0.45
Q1. Can you
justify this Conjecture or suggest a better one?

Note: I believe that the formula of Luis is related to the so called
"champion gaps" (a gap is a champion when it first occurs and no other
gap before is larger than it)
