Pair-correlation conjecture for zeros of Dirichlet L-functions

About 13 years old · traced to

For each Dirichlet character χ\chi modulo qq, let γχ\gamma_\chi and γχ′\gamma'_\chi denote ordinates of nontrivial zeros of L(s,χ)L(s,\chi), counted with multiplicity. Fix C>0C>0. Pair-correlation conjecture. There exists a bounded function W(t)≥0W(t)\geq 0 such that, whenever C−1≤S≤log⁡qC^{-1}\leq S\leq\log q and 1≤U≤Clog⁡Q1\leq U\leq C\log Q,

∑χ mod q#{0≤γχ,γχ′≤U:0<∣γχ−γχ′∣≤Slog⁡q}≪Cϕ(q)Ulog⁡(qU)∫0SW(t) dt.\sum_{\chi\bmod q}\#\left\{0\leq\gamma_\chi,\gamma'_\chi\leq U:0<|\gamma_\chi-\gamma'_\chi|\leq\frac{S}{\log q}\right\} \ll_C \phi(q)U\log(qU)\int_0^S W(t)\,dt.

This conjecture is introduced to control the contribution of pairs of distinct zeros in the moment calculation. Its resolution would support the paper's probabilistic predictions for the variance V(x;q)V(x;q), but the supplied text gives no resolution.
