Average Dirichlet-series conjecture for quadratic prime pairs

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

D2r(s)=p,p2±2rprimelog2pp4s=1x4sdθ2r(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 NN\to\infty,

1Nr=1ND2r(s)=2+o(N1/2)4s1+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 σ1/4\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.
