[#R681] Published squarefree-gap computations give the global upper bound 14
claim. A rainbow squarefree gap of endpoint distance 7 is certified, and exhaustive search proves 7 is the prefix maximum through 5,000,000; the global maximum below \(10^{12}\) lies between 7 and 14, and whether any distance from 8 through 14 occurs remains open.
1Summary
A rainbow interval is first an ordinary gap between consecutive squarefree integers. Published computations cover ordinary squarefree gaps through \(10^{18}\). Marmet's first-occurrence table places the first run of 14 consecutive nonsquarefree integers at \[ 1043460553364, \] which exceeds the present cutoff. The first runs of lengths 15 through 18 occur still higher, and the exhaustive computation reports no longer run through \(10^{18}\). The first run of 13 begins at \[ 82462576220. \] Therefore an ordinary gap with upper endpoint at most \(10^{12}\) contains at most 13 interior integers, and its endpoint distance is at most 14. The rainbow target consequently satisfies \[ 7\leq G(10^{12})\leq14. \] The lower bound comes from the explicit interval at 30,922. Resolving the target requires checking the distinct-prime condition after five million.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: every pair of consecutive squarefree integers a < b with b at most 1000000000000.
