We introduce a new potential characterization of Osserman algebraic curvature tensors. An algebraic curvature tensor is Jacobi-orthogonal if (mathcal{J}_XYperpmathcal{J}_YX) holds for all (Xperp Y), where (mathcal{J}) denotes the Jacobi operator. We prove that any Jacobi-orthogonal tensor is Osserman, while all known Osserman tensors are Jacobi-orthogonal.

Let ((a(n) : n in mathbb{N})) denote a sequence of nonnegative integers. Let (0.a(1)a(2) ldots ) denote the real number obtained by concatenating the digit expansions, in a fixed base, of consecutive entries of ((a(n) : n in mathbb{N})). Research on digit expansions of this form has mainly to do with the normality of (0.a(1)a(2) ldots ) for a given base. Famously, the Copeland-Erdős constant (0.2357111317 ldots {}), for the case whereby (a(n)) equals the (n^{text{th}}) prime number (p_{n}), is normal in base 10. However, it seems that the “inverse” construction given by concatenating the decimal digits of ((pi(n) : n in mathbb{N})), where (pi) denotes the prime-counting function, has not previously been considered. Exploring the distribution of sequences of digits in this new constant (0.0122 ldots 9101011 ldots ) would be comparatively difficult, since the number of times a fixed (m in mathbb{N} ) appears in ((pi(n) : n in mathbb{N})) is equal to the prime gap (g_{m} = p_{m+1} - p_{m}), with the behaviour of prime gaps notoriously elusive. Using a combinatorial method due to Szüsz and Volkmann, we prove that Cramér’s conjecture on prime gaps implies the normality of (0.a(1)a(2) ldots ) in a given base (g geq 2), for (a(n) = pi(n)).
让 ((a(n) : n in mathbb{N})) 表示一个非负整数序列。让 (0.a(1)a(2) ldots ) 表示把 ((a(n) : n in mathbb{N}))的连续项的数位展开数以固定基数连接起来得到的实数。关于这种形式的位数展开的研究主要与给定基数下的(0.a(1)a(2) ldots )的规范性有关。著名的是,对于 (a(n) 等于 (n^{text{th}}) 质数 (p_{n}) 的情况,科普兰-埃尔德常数 (0.2357111317 ldots {})在基数为 10 时是正常的。然而,将 ((pi(n) : n in mathbb{N}))的十进制数(其中 (pi)表示质数计数函数)串联起来所给出的 "逆 "构造似乎还没有被考虑过。探索这个新常数 (0.0122 ldots 9101011 ldots )中出现固定的 (m in mathbb{N} )的次数等于素数差距 (g_{m}=p_{m+1}-p_{m}),而素数差距的行为是众所周知的难以捉摸。通过使用 Szüsz 和 Volkmann 的组合方法,我们证明了克拉梅尔关于素数差距的猜想意味着在给定的基(g geq 2) 中,对于 (a(n) = pi(n)) ,(0.a(1)a(2) ldots )的正态性。
