Return to K-tuples page

The trophy case table below shows first known occurances of super-dense k-tuples.
The first column shows the number of additional primes that can be packed in the
interval, as a contradiction to a Hardy-Littlewood conjecture.

Additions to the table can be posted by sending the residue sets or a listing of prime positions
for the width to be added.  Please send any additions to tom(at)opertech.com
