An explicit result on primes between powers
Around 200 years ago, Legendre conjectured that there is always a prime between between consecutive squares n2 and (n+1)2 for all n≥1. This conjecture remains an open problem to this day. As progress towards this problem, much work has been done in finding successively smaller values of m>2 such that there is always a prime between nm and (n+1)m. Historically, such results have only been for "sufficiently large" values of n. However, in the past 10 years there has been significant work in obtaining explicit results that hold for all n≥1. In this talk, we discuss the history of such explicit results, and suggest how one may lower this value of "m" even further.
