Consecutive Piatetski-Shapiro primes based on the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture

Abstract: The Piatetski-Shapiro sequences are of the form ${\mathcal{N}}^{(c)} := (\lfloor n^c \rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty$ with $c > 1, c \not\in \mathbb{N}$. In this paper, we study the distribution of pairs $(p, p^{#})$ of consecutive primes such that $p \in {\mathcal{N}}^{(c_1)}$ and $p^{#} \in {\mathcal{N}}^{(c_2)}$ for $c_1, c_2 > 1$ and give a conjecture with the prime counting functions of the pairs $(p, p^{#})$. We give a heuristic argument to support this prediction which relies on a strong form of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture. Moreover, we prove a proposition related to the average of singular series with a weight of a complex exponential function.
