Oct 26, 2015 at 16:15 comment added Sylvain JULIEN I don't know whether Gil allows several answers from the same person, but maybe finding the best possible upper bound for the quantity $\beta$ defined as $\inf\{C\mid p_{n+1}-p_{n}\ll\log^{C} p_{n}\}$ assuming it's finite could me more tractable.
Sep 30, 2015 at 19:03 comment added Gil Kalai This is indeed a very famous problem. Probably aiming to show that $\zeta (5)$ is irrational, or better perhaps improving quantitatively the results by Ball and Rivoal regarding values of zeta functions at odd integers would be a good project. It is not impossible that in the sequence $a_n$ with , $a_1=$Aperi, $a_2=$ Ball-Rivoal, ... some later terms will have relevance to Euler's constant.
