Abstract

Twin prime problem is well known in number theory. Sieve methods can only detect almost-primes because of parity phenomenon.Switching principle allowed Chen to get $P2$. By a suitable weighted sieve, we prove that the representation $p + 2 = P2$ occurs with the expected frequency in short intervals.
