Simplified additive divisor conjecture for shifted divisor correlations

About 10 years old · traced to

Let kk and cellcell be integers with k,cell≥2k,cell\ge 2, let ε>0\varepsilon>0, and define

Dk,cell(x,h)=∑n≤xτk(n)τcell(n+h),D_{k,cell}(x,h)=\sum_{n\le x}\tau_k(n)\tau_{cell}(n+h),

where τk\tau_k is the kk-th divisor function. Additive divisor conjecture, simplified version. Uniformly for 1≤h≤x1−ε1\le h\le x^{1-\varepsilon},

Dk,cell(x,h)∼ck,cell(h)(k−1)!(cell−1)!x(log⁡x)k+cell−2D_{k,cell}(x,h)\sim \frac{c_{k,cell}(h)}{(k-1)!(cell-1)!}x(\log x)^{k+cell-2}

as x→∞x\to\infty, for a certain real-valued constant ck,cell(h)c_{k,cell}(h). This predicts the expected leading term for additive correlations of divisor functions; the source refers to explicit descriptions of the constant elsewhere, while the general asymptotic remains conjectural.
