@article{ORW99,
author={A. Odlyzko and M. Rubinstein and M. Wolf},
title={Jumping Champions},
abstract={The asymptotic frequency with which pairs of primes below $x$ differ by
some fixed integer is understood heuristically, although not rigorously,
through the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuple conjecture. Less is known about the
differences of consecutive primes. For all $x$ between $1000$ and $10^{12}$,
the most common difference between consecutive primes is $6$. We present
heuristic and empirical evidence that $6$ continues as the most common
difference (jumping champion) up to about $x=1.7427\cdot 10^{35}$, where
it is replaced by $30$. In turn, $30$ is eventually displaced by $210$,
which then is displaced by $2310$, and so on. Our heuristic arguments are
based on a quantitative form of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. The technical
difficulties in dealing with consecutive primes are formidable enough that
even that strong conjecture does not suffice to produce a rigorous proof
about the behavior of jumping champions.},
