Let $(a_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers, for which it holds, that
$$ lim_n rightarrow infty lvert a_n+1-a_n rvert = 0. $$ Does this already imply, that $(a_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence?

Unfortunately not. Consider
$$a_n:=sum_i=1^nfrac1i.$$
We find $a_n+1-a_n=1/(n+1)to 0,$ but $lim_ntoinftya_n=infty,$ hence $a_n_ninmathbbN$ is not a cauchy sequence.

No. The sequence $a_n=sum_k=1^nfrac1k$ is a counterexample.

Counterexample: $a_n = sqrtn$. Clearly this sequence does not converge. But
$$
a_n+1 - a_n = sqrtn+1 - sqrtn = frac(sqrtn+1 - sqrtn)(sqrtn+1 + sqrtn)(sqrtn+1 + sqrtn) = frac1sqrtn+1 + sqrtn to 0 , .
$$
