Primes in tuples IV: Density of small gaps between consecutive primes

Acta Arithmetica

We prove that given any small but fixed η > 0, a positive proportion of all gaps between consecutive primes are smaller than η times the average gap. We show some unconditional and conditional quantitative results in this vein. In the results the dependence on η is given explicitly, providing a new quantitative way, in addition to that of the first paper in this series, of measuring the effect of the knowledge on the level of distribution of primes.
