On twin primes associated with the Hawkins random sieveAbstract: We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of k-difference twin primes associated with the Hawkins random sieve, which is a probabilistic model of the Eratosthenes sieve. The formula for k=1 was obtained by Wunderlich [Acta Arith. 26 (1974), 59--81]. We here extend this to k \geq 2 and generalize it to all l-tuples of Hawkins primes.
