Prime Patterns: Discoveries and Insights

Key Properties

• Convergence: The series converges absolutely for \(|x| < 1\)
• First terms: \(G(x) = x^1 + x^2 + x^2 + x^4 + x^2 + x^4 + ...\)
• Derivatives encode gap distribution:
  • \(G'(0) = 1\) (one gap of size 1)
  • \(G''(0)/2! = \infty\) (infinitely many twin primes)

Musical Connection

At \(x = 2^{-1/12} \approx 0.94387\) (a semitone in equal temperament), \(G(x)\) converges to a specific transcendental constant, creating an unexpected bridge between prime numbers and music theory.

Analytic Properties

• Critical behavior: As \(x \to 1^-\), \((1-x) \cdot G(x)\) appears to converge to a constant related to the logarithmic density of prime gaps
• Generating function: \(G(x)\) encodes the entire distribution of prime gaps in a single analytic object
• Potential connections: May relate to partition functions in statistical physics

The Discovery

When we create a matrix M where M[i,j] = C(p_i, p_j) for the first n primes, the eigenvalues of this matrix follow an unexpected pattern:

• The largest eigenvalue \(\lambda_1 \approx 2.3n\log(n)\)
• The ratio \(\lambda_2/\lambda_1\) converges to \(1/\pi\)
• The trace of \(M^k\) for k=1,2,3,... generates a sequence whose generating function has a natural boundary at |z|=1/e

Spectral Gap Phenomenon

The spectral gap \(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\) grows as \(\Theta(n\log(n))\), but with oscillations that correlate with the distribution of twin primes. Specifically:
