[#R565] The minimum gap through p=100 billion is 49,600
claim. An exact sweep over all 4,117,976,315 prime bases through \(p=10^{11}\) finds prefix minimum 49,600 at \(p=1587809\) and \(q=2000771023\); the range \(10^{11}<p\le10^{12}\) remains unswept, so the requested full-range minimum remains open.
1Summary
For every prime \(p\) satisfying \[ 10^6\leq p\leq10^{11}, \] the smaller distance between \(p^3\) and the square of either adjacent prime around \(p^{3/2}\) is at least 49,600. Equality occurs at \[ p=1587809,\qquad q_-(p)=2000771023, \] where \[ p^3=4003084686476516129, \] \[ q_-(p)^2=4003084686476466529, \] and \[ p^3-q_-(p)^2=49600. \]
The segmented sieve enumerated 4,117,976,315 prime bases in the stated interval. For each base it computed the exact integer square root of \(p^3\). Only four nearest-integer square gaps were at most 49,600. The displayed pair supplies the sole prime square among them. The other three square bases are even: \[ 2113144738,\quad59120053422,\quad1049747744368. \] Their gaps are 24,315, 17,767, and 25,895. Since their square bases are composite, they cannot enter the prime-restricted minimum.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: every prime base p satisfying 1000000 <= p <= 100000000000.
