Abstract

We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which means there are few twin primes. Finally, we show how to find the possible congruences for these prime numbers.<br />Comment: 16 pages
