On the Riemann hypothesis and the difference between primes

    We prove some results concerning the distribution of primes assuming the Riemann hypothesis. First, we prove the explicit result that there exists a prime in the interval for all x ≥ 2; this improves a result of Ramaré and Saouter. We then show that the constant 4/π may be reduced to (1 + ϵ) provided that x is taken to be sufficiently large. From this, we get an immediate estimate for a well-known theorem of Cramér, in that we show the number of primes in the interval is greater than for c = 3 + ϵ and all sufficiently large values of x.
