Average-size conjecture for sporadic square divisibility classes

About 12 years old · traced to

For each prime pp, let Cp{\mathcal C}_p be the set defined in the paper that records the relevant sporadic roots or residue classes. Average-size conjecture for Cp{\mathcal C}_p. The sets Cp{\mathcal C}_p have one element on average over the primes, in the sense that

∑p<x#Cp∼π(x).\sum_{p<x}\#{\mathcal C}_p\sim\pi(x).

This heuristic is used to explain the observed density calculation for squarefree values, but the asserted asymptotic is not proved in the paper.
