Uniform weak error conjecture for prime-pair counts

At least 9 years old · documented by

For d>0d>0, define

I(x,d):=∫2x−ddtlog⁡t log⁡(t+d),G~(x,d):=S(d)I(x,d),I(x,d):=\int_2^{x-d}\frac{dt}{\log t\,\log(t+d)},\qquad \widetilde{G}(x,d):=\mathfrak{S}(d)I(x,d),

and write G(x,d)=G~(x,d)+E(x,d)G(x,d)=\widetilde{G}(x,d)+E(x,d). The uniform weak error conjecture for prime-pair counts. The variable-difference Hardy–Littlewood formula holds with

E(x,d)=o(x(log⁡x)4)E(x,d)=o\left(\frac{x}{(\log x)^4}\right)

uniformly for

2≤d≤89x.2\le d\le \frac89x.

This weaker conjecture is the estimate the paper needs for its analysis of prime difference champions. It is presented as sufficient for the stated problems, while the stronger square-root error conjecture above would imply substantially more.
