Hardy–Littlewood Goldbach representation conjecture

About 16 years old · traced to

Let R(n)R(n) denote the number of ordered pairs of odd primes (p,q)(p,q) satisfying p+q=np+q=n, and let

C2=∏p>2(1−1(p−1)2)C_2= \prod_{p>2}\left(1-\frac{1}{(p-1)^2}\right)

be the twin-prime constant. Hardy–Littlewood's conjecture. As nn tends to infinity,

R(2n)∼2C2nlog⁡2n∏p∣np>2p−1p−2.R(2n)\sim 2C_2\frac{n}{\log^2 n}\prod_{\substack{p\mid n \\ p>2}}\frac{p-1}{p-2}.

This is the classical quantitative conjecture for the number of Goldbach representations; the paper uses it as an assumption for asymptotic results concerning the sequence a(m)a(m) and its summatory function.
