Definition

François Le Lionnais and Jean Brette, in their Les Nombres Remarquables of $1983$, define the twin primes constant as:

\(\ds \Pi_2\) \(:=\) \(\ds 2 \prod_{\substack {p \mathop \ge 3 \\ \text {$p$ prime} } } \paren {1 - \dfrac 1 {\paren {p - 1}^2} }\)
\(\ds \) \(\approx\) \(\ds 1 \cdotp 32032 \, 36316 \ldots\)

This sequence is A114907 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (N. J. A. Sloane (Ed.), 2008).
