Dear Seqfans,
As Frank wrote the first conjecture is equivalent to twin prime conjecture,
because the set of primes between prime(prime(n)) and prime(prime(n+1)) is :
A(n)={prime(prime(n)+1),prime(prime(n)+2),...,prime(prime(n+1)-1)}
so #A(n)= prime(n+1)-1-(prime(n)+1)+1 ,or #A(n)=prime(n+1)-prime(n)-1.
Hence #A(n)= 1 for infinite n's Iff the twin prime conjecture is true.
Also the second conjecture is true because #A(n)= prime(n+1)-prime(n)-1 is odd
for n > 1.
Regards, Farideh.
