COMMENT

The sequence is infinite and illustrates the number of primes expected to be centered around a given primorial.

Given ever increasing primorial P, one can expect to find the highest symmetrical prime just below 2P.

FORMULA

Using a limited dataset, the approximate relation is the quadratic Y=Ax^2+Bx+C (A,B,C)=(0.12267, 0.75758, -1.592)

where Y= Ln(# prime pairs) (each > the prime factors) and x is # prime factors of the seed primorial.

Thus the number of pairs ~ Exp[Y]. For example, the fit yields EXP(7.370)=1587 prime pairs for pf=6 (30030) while actual=1564. Gnumeric spreadsheet was used for data analysis.

EXAMPLE

There are 6 pairs centered at primorial=30: (29,31),(23,37),(19,41),(17,43),(13,47),(7,53)

As they are symmetrical, each prime pair sums to twice the primorial center.

PROGRAM

(PARI) The values were computed with custom PariGP script using its ispseudoprime test. Here is the script link: http://billymac00.pbwiki.com/f/mirrors.gp

EXAMPLE

For primorial=30, (p,q)=(7,53) as 7+53=2*30
