Cramer's conjecture, in number theory, is an estimate for the size of gaps between consecutive prime numbers, formulated by the Swedish mathematician Harald Cramer in 1936. It states that the gap between consecutive primes is bounded, up to a constant factor, by the square of the logarithm of the smaller prime; none of its several proposed forms have yet been proven or disproven.
