A309392 Square array read by downward antidiagonals: A(n, k) is the k-th prime p such that p + 2*n is also prime, or 0 if that prime does not exist.

Comments

The same as A231608 except that A231608 gives the upward antidiagonals of the array, while this sequence gives the downward antidiagonals.

Conjecture: All values are nonzero, i.e., for any even integer e there are infinitely many primes p such that p + e is also prime.

The conjecture is true if Polignac's conjecture is true.
