Average Dirichlet-series conjecture for quadratic prime pairs

About 17 years old · traced to

For r∈Nr\in\mathbb{N}, let θ2r∗(x)\theta^*_{2r}(x) count primes p≤xp\leq x such that p2±2rp^2\pm2r is prime, and define, for s=σ+iτs=\sigma+i\tau,

D2r∗(s)=∑p, p2±2r prime⁡log⁡2pp4s=∫1∞x−4s dθ2r∗(x).D^*_{2r}(s)=\sum_{p,\,p^2\pm2r\,\operatorname{prime}}\frac{\log^2 p}{p^{4s}}=\int_1^\infty x^{-4s}\,d\theta^*_{2r}(x).

Average quadratic prime-pair Dirichlet-series conjecture. For σ>1/4\sigma>1/4 and N→∞N\to\infty,

1N∑r=1ND2r∗(s)=2+o(N−1/2)4s−1+H2N(s),\frac{1}{N}\sum_{r=1}^N D^*_{2r}(s)=\frac{2+o(N^{-1/2})}{4s-1}+H^N_2(s),

where H2N(s)H^N_2(s) is analytic and has good boundary behavior as σ↘1/4\sigma\searrow1/4. This conjecture is introduced as a Dirichlet-series analogue supporting the averaged Bateman–Horn prediction; its asserted boundary behavior and asymptotic remain open in the supplied source.
