Abstract:
We give numerical and theoretical evidence in support of the conjecture of Dressler that between any two positive integers having the same prime factors there is a prime. In particular, it is shown that the abc conjecture implies that the gap between two consecutive such numbers is , and it is shown that this lower bound is best possible. Dressler's conjecture is verified for values of and up to .
