Abstract
- In a previous paper, under the same title, I considered the problem of how far apart two consecutive primes can be. The present paper is concerned with the opposite question. How near together can large primes lie? The published literature on this subject is scanty and, though interesting, is mainly negative in character. It appears to be very difficult to give any answer that is not trivial, or that is at all illuminating.
