Abstract

The distribution of differences of consecutive members of sequences of primes is investigated. A quantitative measure for oscillations among these differences is the curvature of the sequence. If the sequence is not too sparse, then sharp estimates for its curvature are provided.

It may seem unnatural to include the lower bound on δ in this definition, but more rapidly decaying functions will play no role in this paper, and it simplifies the exposition later that δ is not too small, a fortiori.
