Goldston and Yildrim thought they had easily broken this record, by showing that for any fraction, no matter how small, there are infinitely many consecutive pairs of primes within this fraction of the average distance of each other. But, deep within the proof, Andrew Granville of the Université de Montreal and K. Soundararajan of the University of Michigan found a problem. Some quantities, which were believed to be small error terms, are actually as big the values being calculated. Mathematicians are trying to correct the error, but so far the problem remains unresolved. However, many are confident that Goldston and Yildrim's approach will still break the current record of a quarter of the average gap.
