Structure of Prime Numbers' Distribution

1.    Groups of Prime Numbers' Differences


    This paper reports some results of experimental investigation on computer prime numbers in the range until 1 billion.

    It has been detected that gaps between consecutive gaps (second differences of primes), named variations, constitute regular and repeating irregular groups. Maximal size of such a group of every type of them depends on 4 special characteristics of each type. All numbers constituting maximal sizes of such groups exist in 2 geometrical figures - hexagram and pentagram.

    Besides, as a range of primes increased, the ratio of the number of repeating groups of 2 consecutive variations to the number of primes in the range aspires to 100%.

2.     Classes of Prime Numbers and Their Differences
    In this paper, the author discusses primes' and their differences' classes on the base of 6. These classes are of importance in distribution values of differences of primes, as the first ones, gaps, as the second ones, variations.
    The main reason of six period oscillations in distributions both gaps and variations and the peculiarity of each of them is the distribution of primes themselves in groups of the same class. Besides, in such an oscillation in exponent distribution of variations values, the numbers determining the class of each a variation on the same base play an essential role.
    An analytical research of a problem of independent appearing of a next prime of the same class as of a current one or of the opposite class proves it possible in the in infinite general set of prime numbers only.
