Uniform distribution conjecture for prime values of a polynomial

About 13 years old · traced to

Let f(x)∈Z[x]f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x] produce infinitely many primes. A congruence class modulo a positive integer mm is mm-allowable for f(x)f(x) if (f(r),m)=1(f(r),m)=1 for every integer rr in that class. Uniform distribution conjecture. For every positive integer mm, the integers nn for which f(n)f(n) is prime are asymptotically uniformly distributed over the mm-allowable congruence classes for f(x)f(x). Equivalently, if Am(f)A_m(f) is the number of such classes, each allowable class has limiting relative frequency 1/Am(f)1/A_m(f). This conjecture is presented as an important distributional hypothesis in the paper and is not known in general.
