Conjecture on mean values of arithmetic subsequences of Hardy–Littlewood constants

Let C2rC_{2r} denote the Hardy–Littlewood constant associated with the prime pair (p,p+2r)(p,p+2r). An arithmetic subsequence of the index sequence {2r}\{2r\} means a subsequence obtained by restricting 2r2r to an arithmetic progression. Arithmetic-subsequence mean-value conjecture. Every subsequence of {C2r}\{C_{2r}\} corresponding to an arithmetic subsequence of {2r}\{2r\} has a mean value. The text gives the mean value for subsequences indexed by 2hr2hr and presents the general assertion as plausible; no resolution is stated.
