| Jens Kruse Andersen. See also Andersen's The Top-20 Prime Gaps, the successor to a compilation maintained until February 2004 by Paul Leyland. Andersen's work has also confirmed the certification of a great many probabilistic gaps, as well as the probabilistic validity of many questionable gaps of thousands of digits. |
