Technical conjecture on truncated divisor sums near rational approximants

About 17 years old · traced to

Let K,λ,ζ,c>0\mathcal{K},\lambda,\zeta,c>0 be constants with λ<1\lambda<1. Let N?1N\text{?}1 and suppose that p/q?Qp/q\text{?}\mathbb{Q}, (p,q)=1(p,q)=1, is of type (2+λ,K)(2+\lambda,\mathcal{K}). Assume

N32+λ≤q≤N3(1+λ)2+λ.N^{\frac{3}{2+\lambda}}\le q\le N^{\frac{3(1+\lambda)}{2+\lambda}}.

Technical divisor-sum conjecture. Then

∑∣r∣≤ζqN∑pm≡r(q)τcN,N(m)∼2ζcN\sum_{|r|\le \frac{\zeta q}{N}}\sum_{pm\equiv r(q)}\tau_{cN,N}(m)\sim 2\zeta cN

as N→∞N\to\infty, uniformly in qq and pp.

The conjecture is intended as a technical input for decomposing the arithmetic expression governing quadratic pair correlation. The source provides no proof or resolution status.
