Title: Unexpected Biases in the distribution of consecutive primes

Speaker: Kannan Soundararajan (Stanford University)

Abstract: In joint work with Robert Lemke Oliver, we discovered a curious phenomenon about consecutive primes: the remainders of consecutive primes modulo q do not like to be the same. I will show striking numerical results exhibiting this phenomenon, and give a conjectural explanation which matches the data very well.
