COMMENTS

Consists of 2 together with the lower members of twin primes, A001359. See the latter entry for references.

"Assuming certain (admittedly difficult) conjectures on the distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions, [Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim] prove the existence of infinitely many prime pairs that differ at most by 16." - Soundararajan

Lesser of twin primes together with 2; union with A029710 gives A124589. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 23 2006

Primes p such that either p+3/2+-1/2 is prime. [From Juri-Stepan Gerasimov (2stepan(AT)rambler.ru), Jan 29 2010]
