Abstract:

We study the parallel properties of the Ramanujan primes and a symmetric counterpart, the Labos primes. Further, we study all primes with these properties (generalized Ramanujan and Labos primes) and construct two kinds of sieves for them. Finally, we give a further natural generalization of these constructions and pose some conjectures and open problems.
