Consecutive primes in tuples

In a stunning new advance towards the Prime k-Tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if k is sufficiently large in terms of m, then for an admissible k-tuple ( x ) = g x + h j j = 1 k of linear forms in ℤ[x], the set ( n ) = g n + h j j = 1 k contains at least m primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. In this note, we deduce that ( n ) = g n + h j j = 1 k contains at least m consecutive primes for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ. We answer an old question of Erdős and Turán by producing strings of m + 1 consecutive primes whose successive gaps δ 1 , . . . , δ m form an increasing (resp....
